Sample BOB LBO Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your BOB LBO exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the word most similar in meaning to 'ABSTAIN'.

A.Refrain

B.Indulge

C.Persist

D.Accelerate

Explanation: 'Abstain' means to deliberately withhold or avoid an action — especially voting or consuming something. 'Refrain' is the closest synonym.

2Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error: 'Neither the manager nor the clerks was present at the meeting.'

A.Neither the manager

B.was present

C.nor the clerks

D.at the meeting

Explanation: With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the nearer subject. 'Clerks' is plural, so the verb should be 'were', not 'was'.

3Fill in the blank: The RBI's circular will come into effect ___ 1 April 2026.

A.in

B.at

C.on

D.by

Explanation: 'Come into effect on' is the standard collocation for a specific calendar date. We say 'on 1 April', not 'in 1 April'.

4Choose the antonym of 'MITIGATE'.

A.Alleviate

B.Moderate

C.Lessen

D.Aggravate

Explanation: 'Mitigate' means to make something less severe. 'Aggravate' means to make worse — the direct antonym.

5Rearrange to form a meaningful sentence: (P) before disbursing the loan (Q) the bank verified (R) all KYC documents (S) as per RBI norms

A.R Q P S

B.P Q R S

C.S R Q P

D.Q R S P

Explanation: Subject-verb first: 'The bank verified (Q) all KYC documents (R) as per RBI norms (S) before disbursing the loan (P).'

6In the sentence 'She has been working here since 2019', the underlined tense is:

A.Present perfect continuous

B.Past perfect

C.Simple present

D.Future continuous

Explanation: 'Has been working' = present perfect continuous — an action that started in the past and continues to the present, anchored by 'since 2019'.

7Choose the correctly spelled word.

A.Acomodation

B.Accommodation

C.Accommadation

D.Acommmodation

Explanation: 'Accommodation' has double 'c' and double 'm' — a common spelling trap in English sections.

8The idiom 'burn the midnight oil' means:

A.Waste fuel unnecessarily

B.Cause a fire hazard

C.Work late into the night

D.Retire early

Explanation: 'Burn the midnight oil' (from lamp-oil era) idiomatically means to study or work late at night.

9Improve the sentence: 'He requested me that I should attend the training.'

A.He requested me to attend the training.

B.He requested me for attending the training.

C.He requested that I attend the training.

D.He requested to me attend the training.

Explanation: 'Request' takes 'that + subject + base verb' (subjunctive): 'requested that I attend'. Option B is the standard formal correction.

10One-word substitution for 'A person who is new to a profession' is:

A.Veteran

B.Expert

C.Critic

D.Novice

Explanation: A 'novice' is a beginner or newcomer. 'Veteran' and 'expert' mean the opposite.

BOB LBO Study Tips from Top Performers

1Treat Banking Knowledge as your edge — you already work in a bank, but revise RBI tools, NPAs, and payment rails with precision.

2Practise under strict 30-minute sectional clocks; you cannot borrow time across sections.

3English is English-only — do not ignore comprehension and grammar while focusing on Hindi-bilingual GA sections.

4Build a formula sheet for percentages, SI/CI, time-work, and speed-distance for the quant half of section four.

5Revise local-language reading and writing early; failing LPT blocks the interview even after clearing the CBT.

6Track CIBIL health before document verification — 680+ is the stated preference at joining.

7After sectional mocks, review every −0.25 guess; negative marking punishes random attempts.

8Prepare GD/interview examples on branch operations, customer service, and local-market banking.
