✍️ Sample IBPS Questions & Answers
1. In a code, adjacent letter pairs are swapped (1st↔2nd, 3rd↔4th, 5th↔6th, last letter stays if odd). What is the code for 'PROBLEM'?
Pairs: (P,R)→RP, (O,B)→BO, (L,E)→EL, M stays; result is RPBOELM.
2. Statements: I. All keyboards are mouse. II. Some mouse are printers. Conclusions: I. Some printers are keyboards. II. No keyboard is a printer.
There is no direct relation between keyboards and printers. The 'mouse' category connects them, but the overlap between 'mouse' and 'printers' could be separate from the 'keyboards' area. This means we cannot definitively say that 'Some printers are keyboards' (Conclusion I is false) nor can we say 'No keyboard is a printer' (Conclusion II is false). However, since these two conclusions form a complementary pair (Some + No), one of them must be true. Therefore, the 'Either/Or' case applies.
3. Using the number-to-letter code (1=A, 2=B, ..., 26=Z), what word does '20-5-19-20' represent?
20=T, 5=E, 19=S, 20=T, spelling TEST.
4. 17. Choose one of the following as an example of Hardware: I. Mouse II. CPU III. Keyboard IV. Printer
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that can be touched and seen. A mouse, CPU (Central Processing Unit), keyboard, and printer are all tangible electronic devices essential for a computer's operation. They represent the physical infrastructure, distinguishing them from software, which is the set of instructions.
5. 24. In the case of a computer, we always use the term bandwidth to refer to something related to data. Which of the following is it referring to?
In computing and networking, bandwidth refers to the maximum rate at which data can be transferred over a communication channel or connection. It essentially measures the capacity of a network link to transmit information per unit of time. Therefore, it directly relates to the 'amount of data transferred' within a given period.
6. 7. What does OSI mean in terms of computers?
OSI stands for Open System Interconnection. It is a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the communication functions of a telecommunication or computing system without regard to their underlying internal structure and technology. It divides network communication into seven distinct layers.
