1Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting around a circular table facing the center. A sits second to the left of C, who is the neighbor of B and G. H sits third to the left of A and is not a neighbor of E. E sits to the immediate right of D. G sits second to the left of B. Who sits second to the left of H?

A.F

B.E

C.D

D.G

Explanation: To arrange them circular-facing-center: C sits at the table, with B and G as neighbors. Since G sits second to the left of B, the order must be G - C - B. A sits second to the left of C, which places A adjacent to G. H sits third to the left of A. E is to the immediate right of D, and H is not a neighbor of E. The final circular placement (clockwise) is A - F - H - D - E - B - C - G. Going clockwise (to the left of H), F sits second to the left of H.

2Seven persons P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V are standing in a straight linear row facing North. T sits fourth to the left of V. Either T or V stands at the extreme end of the line. S sits third to the right of R. Q sits to the immediate left of S. P sits to the right of U. Who stands at the middle of the row?

A.Q

B.R

C.S

D.P

Explanation: Number the positions 1 to 7 from left to right. T sits fourth to the left of V, and either T or V is at an extreme end. This gives two cases: Case 1 has T at position 1 and V at position 5; Case 2 has T at position 3 and V at position 7. S sits third to the right of R (R _ _ S), and Q sits to the immediate left of S, so the block is R _ Q S. In Case 1, the block would force S onto position 5, which is already taken by V, so Case 1 is impossible. In Case 2 the block fits as R at 2, Q at 4, S at 5, which is consistent with T at 3 and V at 7. The remaining positions 1 and 6 go to U and P; since P sits to the right of U, U is at 1 and P is at 6. The complete row is U (1), R (2), T (3), Q (4), S (5), P (6), V (7). Position 4 is the middle, occupied by Q.

3Six students P, Q, R, S, T, and U sit in a straight row facing North. Q sits at the extreme left end. P sits third to the right of Q. R sits immediately to the left of P. T sits immediately to the right of P. U sits at the remaining seat to the right of T. Who sits at the extreme right end of the row?

A.U

B.T

C.S

D.P

Explanation: Number the seats 1 to 6 from left to right. Q is at the extreme left, so Q is at seat 1. P sits third to the right of Q, placing P at seat 4. R sits immediately to the left of P, so R is at seat 3. T sits immediately to the right of P, so T is at seat 5. U takes the remaining seat to the right of T, which is seat 6. The only seat left, seat 2, is filled by S. The complete row is Q (1), S (2), R (3), P (4), T (5), U (6). The extreme right end is seat 6, occupied by U.

4Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H sit around a square table. Four sit at the corners facing outward, and four sit in the middle of the sides facing inward. A sits at a corner. B sits second to the right of A. F sits third to the left of B. C sits to the immediate left of F. D sits second to the right of G, who is not facing inward. Who sits opposite to H?

A.A

B.D

C.E

D.B

Explanation: Place A at a corner (facing outward). B sits second to the right of A. Since A faces outward, A's right is counterclockwise, so B is at the middle of the side (facing inward). F sits third to the left of B. B faces inward, so left is clockwise. Three places clockwise from B is a corner, occupied by F (facing outward). C sits to the immediate left of F. F faces outward, so left is clockwise, putting C at the middle of the side. G sits at a corner facing outward (since G is not facing inward). D sits second to the right of G. Corner right is counterclockwise, placing D. By matching all rules, the sequence around the table is: A (corner-out), C (side-in), F (corner-out), G (corner-out), D (side-in), B (side-in), E (side-in), H (corner-out). The opposite of H is A.

5Six people P, Q, R, S, T, and U sit in a linear row facing North. S sits second from the right end. Only two people sit between S and R. P sits to the immediate right of T. Q sits to the left of U. How many people sit between R and P?

A.None

B.One

C.Two

D.Three

Explanation: The positions from left to right are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. S sits second from the right end, which is position 5. Two people sit between S and R, which means R is at position 2. P sits to the immediate right of T, which requires a consecutive block of TP. This can occupy positions 3 and 4. So T is at 3 and P is at 4. Now positions 1 and 6 are left for Q and U. Q sits to the left of U, so Q is at 1 and U is at 6. The complete order is Q (1), R (2), T (3), P (4), S (5), U (6). R is at position 2 and P is at position 4, so exactly one person (T at position 3) sits between them. Therefore, the answer is One.

6Seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are kept one above another in a stack. Box E is kept immediately below box A. Three boxes are kept between Box E and Box C. Box B is kept immediately above Box G. Only one box is kept between Box G and Box D. Box F is kept above Box B. Which box is at the topmost position?

A.F

B.A

C.C

D.E

Explanation: E is immediately below A (AE). Three boxes are between E and C. This gives two possible sub-stacks: (1) C _ _ _ A E or (2) A E _ _ _ C. Since there are 7 boxes in total, case (1) utilizes 6 positions, and case (2) also utilizes 6 positions. B is kept immediately above G (BG). G and D have one box between them (G _ D or D _ G). F is kept above B. By placing the boxes to satisfy all conditions, we find that the stack from top to bottom is: F, A, E, B, G, C, D. Thus, F is at the topmost position.

7Seven persons P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V live on seven different floors of a building (numbered 1 to 7 from ground to top). P lives on an odd-numbered floor above floor 3. Only two persons live between P and Q. U lives immediately above V. S lives on an even-numbered floor. T lives above R. Who lives on the 5th floor?

A.Q

B.P

C.S

D.T

Explanation: P lives on an odd-numbered floor above 3, which means P lives on either floor 5 or floor 7. Case 1: P is on floor 5. Only two people live between P and Q, which places Q on floor 2. Case 2: P is on floor 7. Q would then be on floor 4. U lives immediately above V (UV block). S is on an even floor. T lives above R. Checking Case 1: Even floors are 2, 4, 6. Q is on 2, so S must be on 4 or 6. If S is on 6, the UV block can fit on 3 and 2 (no, Q is on 2), so UV fits on 4 and 3. This leaves 7 and 1 for T and R. Since T lives above R, T is on 7 and R is on 1. S is on 6. This configuration satisfies all conditions: T(7), S(6), P(5), U(4), V(3), Q(2), R(1). Floor 5 is occupied by P, so P is the answer.

8Five subject lectures—Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, and English—are scheduled from Monday to Friday, one lecture each day. Physics is scheduled on Wednesday. Only one lecture is scheduled between Physics and Chemistry. Mathematics is scheduled immediately before English. Biology is scheduled after Chemistry. Which lecture is scheduled on Monday?

A.Chemistry

B.Mathematics

C.English

D.Biology

Explanation: Physics is on Wednesday. One lecture is between Physics and Chemistry, which means Chemistry is either on Monday or Friday. Case 1: Chemistry is on Monday. Mathematics is scheduled immediately before English, which requires two consecutive free days. Since Wednesday is Physics, the available consecutive days are Tuesday-Wednesday (no) or Thursday-Friday. So Mathematics is on Thursday and English is on Friday. This leaves Biology for Tuesday. This schedule is: Monday (Chemistry), Tuesday (Biology), Wednesday (Physics), Thursday (Mathematics), Friday (English). This satisfies all conditions, including Biology scheduled after Chemistry (Tuesday is after Monday). Thus, Monday is Chemistry.

9Six colleagues P, Q, R, S, T, and U work in three different departments: Sales, Marketing, and HR, with at least one and at most three in each department. R works in Sales. T does not work in Sales or HR. U works in the same department as T. P does not work in Marketing. Q and S work in the same department, but not in Marketing. Which department does P work in?

A.HR

B.Sales

C.Marketing

D.Cannot be determined

Explanation: R works in Sales. T does not work in Sales or HR, so T works in Marketing, and U works in the same department as T, so U is also in Marketing. Q and S work together in a department that is not Marketing, leaving Sales or HR. P does not work in Marketing, so P is in Sales or HR. Two consistent assignments exist: (1) Q and S in Sales gives Sales = {R, Q, S}, forcing P into HR so that HR is not empty (Marketing = {T, U}, HR = {P}); and (2) Q and S in HR allows P to be in either Sales (Sales = {R, P}, HR = {Q, S}) or HR (Sales = {R}, HR = {Q, S, P}). Because P can validly be in either Sales or HR across these cases, P's department cannot be fixed. Therefore, the answer is 'Cannot be determined'.

10A, B, C, D, E, and F are six boxes of different colors: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Pink, kept in a row from left to right. Box A is to the immediate left of the Blue box. The Green box is third to the right of Box B. Box C is Yellow and is kept at the extreme right end. Box D is Green. Box E is Orange and is kept second to the left of the Pink box. What is the color of Box F?

A.Blue

B.Red

C.Green

D.Yellow

Explanation: Number the positions 1 to 6 from left to right. Yellow Box C is at the extreme right end, so C is at position 6. Green Box D is third to the right of Box B, so B and D are three apart: either B at 1 with D at 4, or B at 2 with D at 5. Test B at 2 and D at 5. Box E is Orange and second to the left of the Pink box, so the box two positions to the right of E is Pink. Placing E at 1 makes position 3 Pink, which is consistent (placing E at 3 would force position 5 to be Pink, conflicting with Green D). So far: E (Orange) at 1, B at 2, Pink at 3, D (Green) at 5, C (Yellow) at 6, with positions 3 and 4 open for A and F. Box A is immediately to the left of the Blue box; putting A at 3 makes position 4 Blue, and that box is F. This leaves the color Pink for A at position 3 and Red for B at position 2. The full arrangement is: E (Orange) at 1, B (Red) at 2, A (Pink) at 3, F (Blue) at 4, D (Green) at 5, C (Yellow) at 6, which satisfies every clue. Therefore, Box F is Blue.

IDBI Bank ESO Study Tips from Top Performers

1Familiarize yourself with sectional timing: each section has a strict time limit, so you must practice answering questions quickly under pressure.

2Work on calculation speed for Quantitative Aptitude. Memorize squares, cubes, percentage-to-fraction conversions, and practice simplification shortcuts daily.

3Focus heavily on Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation, which represents the largest scoring section (60 marks/questions) and requires high accuracy.

4Read a financial newspaper daily (like Economic Times or Business Standard) to cover the Banking Awareness and Current Economy questions.

5Practice mock tests and focus on accuracy to prevent negative marking from lowering your score. Only guess if you can confidently eliminate at least two options.

6Revise basic IT and computer hardware, software, and cybersecurity terminology, as these are frequently tested in the Awareness section.
