For me the answer would be
all of these because
a)SBI Life (Insurance)
b)PNBFL(Housing finance)
c)For IT (SBI- US an IT arm of SBI in US)

hiiiiiiiiii varun a vry gud mng 2 u!!!!!!!!!dere's a question that how much paisa gained frm 1 rupee frm taxes..........i had given 33paisa plz tell me whether it is rite or nt?............varun one of my friends told me that he has made 22 correct in GA after deducting negative marks....can u let me knw whether he will get qualify marksin GA?

Varun Reddy said...

Amit:
I dont know the exact question what they asked. whether it includes all taxes or particularly income tax or etc.
BoB did not mentioned the exact cut off marks for each section. we normally think that we have to get 40% of marks in each section. If it is true then he will clear. But this cut-off may 50% also.Then you have to score 25marks.

Varun Reddy said...

Kiran:
I advise you to attempt more in Reas and Apt. Eng, gk and mar are good attempts.

hi varun sir, plz post some question answer for United India Insurance Company's Administrative Officer exam , because i hv seen that insurance company's qstns are different from bank's po paper

pavan said...

Hi Varun,
I remembered the question which amit is asking....it is like this..
For Govt What part of a rupee comes from taxes?

And I think Sabyasachi Banerjee is right, The question is somewhat like this.....
Following are the awards given by GOI,find the wrong one?(its "Kalinga award" I hope)

Anonymous said...

sabyasachi:
i think you are right the answer was kalinga.

GAURAV VISHNOI said...

Varun, what a question:
who was awarded recently with dada saheb phalke award?
no option for 'v.k. murthy' and at same time 'recent' word in question ,a lot confusing.

Other ques:
more foreign branches for which bank.
In my opinion most hav choiced bob,bcause exam was for bob.

Hyderabad said...

pavan, sabyasachi and anonymous....
you are wrong...onething tell me whether man ban booker prize is given by Government? i dont think soo...varun clarify it...!!!!

Varun Reddy said...

Gaurav:
Ofcourse it may be the bob exam. but Sbi has more foreign branches than bob.

What most recent word? Dada saheb phalke award 2008 is announced on jan 2010.

Varun Reddy said...

Hyd:
Man booker prize, kalinga prize is not presented by Government.
still any options remembered?

Anonymous said...

even pulitzer prize was an option which is not an award given by Govt. of india. Thus as i remember very correctly the question was which award is given by govt. of india. kalinga by UNESCO so that can not be the answer. May be only may be a twist in the questions for different sets. my set was 2 and i remember the question correctly as it confused me for long...
