TS Police PC 2023 PYQ-pattern questions

Showing 10 of the 18 PYQ-pattern questions in this set — freshly worded in that year's pattern, not the original questions. Answers and solutions open under each question.

  1. Q1 · Similarities and Differences

    Which pair follows a similar pattern as 'Doctor : Hospital'?

    • A. Teacher : School
    • B. Farmer : Crop
    • C. Student : Book
    • D. Writer : Pen
    Answer and solution

  2. Q2 · Spatial Orientation

    A man walks 5 km towards North, then turns right and walks 3 km, then turns right again and walks 9 km, then turns left and walks 6 km. How far is he from the starting point?

    • A. 5 km
    • B. 9 km
    • C. 10 km
    • D. 13 km
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Final position: 9 km East (3+6) and 4 km South (9-5). Distance from start = √(9² + 4²) = √(81 + 16) = √97 ≈ 10 km (closest option).

  3. Q3 · Direction and Distance

    Ramesh starts walking from his home and walks 40 m towards North. He then turns left and walks 30 m, then turns right and walks 20 m. In which direction is he from his starting point?

    • A. North-East
    • B. South-West
    • C. North-West
    • D. South-East
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    After moving 40 m North, 30 m West (left from North), and 20 m North (right from West), he is 60 m North and 30 m West from the start, which is North-West.

  4. Q4 · Non-Verbal Reasoning

    A square is divided into four equal parts by two lines. If three parts are shaded and one is left blank, which rotation will keep the pattern unchanged?

    • A. 90 degrees
    • B. 180 degrees
    • C. 270 degrees
    • D. None of these
    Answer and solution

    Answer: D

    With three shaded and one blank part, no rotation of 90, 180, or 270 degrees will produce the identical pattern unless symmetry exists, which is not the case here.

  5. Q5 · Percentage

    If the price of sugar increases by 25%, by what percentage should a person reduce his consumption so that his expenditure on sugar remains the same?

    • A. 20%
    • B. 25%
    • C. 18%
    • D. 22%
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Reduction percentage = (25/(100+25)) × 100 = 20%.

  6. Q6 · Compound Interest

    A sum of money invested at compound interest amounts to ₹10,800 in 2 years and ₹11,664 in 3 years. What is the rate of interest per annum?

    • A. 8%
    • B. 10%
    • C. 12%
    • D. 6%
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Interest for 3rd year = 11664 - 10800 = 864. Rate = (864/10800) × 100 = 8%.

  7. Q7 · Similarities and Differences

    Identify the pair that shows a similar relationship as: Chair : Furniture

    • A. Car : Vehicle
    • B. Book : Pages
    • C. Tree : Forest
    • D. Door : Window
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Chair is a type of Furniture, similarly Car is a type of Vehicle. Both represent a specific example of a broader category.

  8. Q8 · Arithmetical Reasoning

    The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 78. What is the largest of these numbers?

    • A. 24
    • B. 26
    • C. 28
    • D. 30
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Let the three consecutive even numbers be x, x+2, x+4. Their sum: x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 78, so 3x + 6 = 78, giving x = 24. The largest number is 24 + 4 = 28.

  9. Q9 · Statement and Conclusion

    Statement: The government has announced a ban on single-use plastics from next month. Conclusion: I. Single-use plastics are harmful to the environment. II. People will stop using plastic completely.

    • A. Only conclusion I follows
    • B. Only conclusion II follows
    • C. Both I and II follow
    • D. Neither I nor II follows
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Conclusion I follows as the ban implies environmental harm. Conclusion II does not follow because the ban is only on single-use plastics, not all plastics.

  10. Q10 · Percentage

    A shopkeeper marks his goods 40% above the cost price but allows a discount of 25% on the marked price. His gain percent is:

    • A. 10%
    • B. 5%
    • C. 15%
    • D. 12%
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Let CP = 100. MP = 140. SP after 25% discount = 140 × 0.75 = 105. Gain = 5, so gain% = 5%.
