Only Two Weeks Left | Practice Hard To Crack IBPS Clerk Mains Exam 2018-19

Dear Students, as per the schedule of IBPS 2018, the main examination for the recruitment of IBPS Clerks will be conducted on 20th of January. If one gets through this phase of the examination, she will be selected as a Clerk in a Public Sector Bank of India. With only a couple of weeks remaining for this examination to be held, you must have yourself realized the dire need of keeping your casual attitude at bay and sinking your teeth into the preparations. In these last days of your preparations plan everything in a way that you are able to do with the syllabus and revision on time.

Students, while you prepare for this examination, you should not overlook the fact that stressing about your preparations or the examination will do no good at all. You should always follow a rule that says, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." Your best bet at this time, when just two weeks remain for the examination, would be to make the best use of the knowledge that you have acquired through all these months of preparation. Here are a few important points that you need to focus on during this last week of your preparation:

  • Revise all the topics that you are excellent at. Sort the important topics into a checklist and settle on how each and every point is to be revised before the exam is held. It will help you focus your learning and during the examination, you won’t be like, “Gee! I was so good at this topic. I could have done better had I revised it well.”
  • Avoid picking up a new topic that you are not so good at as. By doing that in the last days of your preparations, you will only be juggling frogs. So, stick to what can help you bag maximum score in this examination.
  • Too much pressure and anxiety can affect your performance negatively. Stay positive so you can handle it all with poise.
  • Practice is the only key to success. It actually plays a very important role in your preparations. It can be your breakaway strategy and your true path to your very own authentic success or the lack thereof. Try focusing on full-length mocks instead of attempting the topic wise quizzes in the last few days of your preparations.
  • Give special importance to the accuracy with which you attempt the examination. You need to keep the accuracy percentage to a minimum of 95%. If it is lesser then work on it till you get it mended.

"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs, but how high he bounces when he hits bottom."



A man’s success is not measured by how much he has achieved in his life. It is measured by how greatly one comes back when he has fallen down to the bottom.  When a person has failed in his life and if he does not loose his strength and comes up again achieving even more greater heights, this strength is his real measure for success. Never loose hope in life and learn from your failure. This will help you achieve greater things in life. Failure is a part of success and if you fail, don’t loose hope. Infact, come up with more zeal and passion for your dreams.

Solution:

Directions (11-15): In these questions, two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer: 

Q11. I. x² – 9x + 18 = 0
II. 5y² – 22y + 24 = 0
if x < y
if x > y
if x ≤ y
if x ≥ y
if relationship between x and y cannot be determined
Solution:
I. x² – 9x + 18 = 0
x² – 6x – 3x + 18 = 0
x (x – 6) –3 (x -6) = 0
(x – 3) (x – 6) = 0
x= 3, 6
II. 5y² – 22y + 24 = 0
5y² – 10y – 12y + 24 = 0
5y (y- 2) –12 (y – 2) = 0
(y – 2) (5y – 12) = 0
y=2, 12/5
∴ x > y

Q12. I. 6x² + 11x + 5 = 0 
II. 2y² + 5y + 3 = 0
 if x < y
 if x > y
 if x ≤ y
 if x ≥ y
 if relationship between x and y cannot be determined
Solution:
I. 6x² + 11x + 5 = 0
6x² + 6x + 5x + 5 = 0
6x (x + 1) + 5 (x + 1) = 0
(x+ 1) (6x +5) = 0
x = -1,-5/6
II. 2y² + 5y + 3 = 0
2y² + 2y + 3y + 3 = 0
2y (y+ 1) + 3 (y+ 1) = 0
(y+ 1) (2y + 3) = 0
y= -1,-3/2
∴x≥y

Q13. I. x² + 10x + 24 = 0 
II. y² – √625=0
 if x < y
 if x > y
 if x ≤ y
 if x ≥ y
 if relationship between x and y cannot be determined
Solution:
I. x² + 10x + 24 = 0
x² +6x + 4x + 24 = 0
x (x + 6) +4 (x+ 6) = 0
(x + 4) (x + 6) = 0
x = –4, –6
II. y² – √625=0
y²=√625
y²=25;
y= ±5
∴ Relationship between x and y cannot be determined

Q14. I. 10x² + 11x + 1 = 0 
II. 15y² + 8y + 1 = 0
 if x < y
 if x > y
 if x ≤ y
 if x ≥ y
 if relationship between x and y cannot be determined
Solution:
I. 10x² +11x + 1= 0
10x² + 10x+ x+ 1 = 0
10x (x + 1) + 1 (x + 1) = 0
(x + 1) (10x + 1) = 0
x= -1,-1/10
II. 15y² + 8y + 1 = 0
15y² +5y + 3y + 1 = 0
5y (3y + 1) + 1 (3y+ 1) = 0
(3y + 1) (5y + 1) = 0
 y=-1/3,-1/5
∴ Relationship between x and y cannot be determined

Q15. I.15x² – 11x + 2 = 0 
II. 10y² – 9y + 2 = 0
 if x < y
 if x > y
 if x ≤ y
 if x ≥ y
 if relationship between x and y cannot be determined
Solution:
I. 15x² – 11x + 2 = 0
15x² – 5x – 6x + 2 = 0
5x (3x – 1) – 2 (3x – 1) = 0
(3x – 1) (5x – 2) = 0
x=1/3,2/5
II. 10y² – 9y + 2 = 0
10y² – 5y – 4y + 2 = 0
5y (2y – 1) –2 (2y – 1) = 0
(2y – 1) (5y - 2) = 0
y = 1/2,2/5
∴ x ≤ y

Success is just a pile of failures that you are standing on top of.

When we strive for something we want to achieve, we are bound to fail, once, twice or many more times. Every failure is an outcome of either a mistake or ignorance. And when this process is repeated over and over, our mind creates a checklist of the things that are constantly leading to our downfall. Eventually, we stop erring at all and that's what catapults us to the destination we wanted to arrive at.
