Free BNP Paribas Graduate Practice Pack Sample Questions

Question-1:
How much was spent on Clothes and Shoes in year 5 if the same percent increase was
maintained as between year 3 and year 4?
A. 1,920 Euros
B. 1,921 Euros
C. 1,922 Euros
D. 1,934 Euros
E. 1,935 Euros

EXPLANATION
For clothes and shoes, Percentage increase between year 3 and year 4 is
given as:
{Amount spent in year 4 – Amount spent in year 3} /Amount spent in year 3 x
100
{1870 – 1820} /1820 x 100/1 = 50/1820 x 100/1 = 2.75%
Percentage increase in clothes and shoes between year 4 and year 5
(Amount spent in 5 years – Amount spent in year 4)/Amount spent in year 4 x
100/1
X – 1870/1870 x 100/1
Since percentage increase is the same:
2.75 = x – 1870/1870 x 100/1
2.75 = 100x – 187000/1870
5142.5 + 187000/100 = 100x/100
192142.5/100 = x
X = 1921.425 ≈ 1921.

For year 2 and 3
Food = (4600 – 4480)/4480 x 1000 = 0.027 x 100 = 2.63%
Clothes and shoes = (1820 – 1770)/1770 x 100 = 0.0282 x 100 = 2.82%
Hygiene and health = (2220 – 2240)/2240 x 100 = 0.0412 x 100 = 0.89%
(Negative shoes decreases)
Leisure and transport = (10,100 – 9700)/9700 x 100 = 0.0412 x 100 = 4.13%
Houses and home = (10,500 – 10,200)/10,200 x 100 = 0.0294 x 100 =

BNP Paribas Graduate Practice Pack Verbal Reasoning

A few ‘Safe As Houses’ alarms have been redesigned in an attempt to reduce the large number
of complaints where alarms have sounded by accident. One of the new types of alarm is less
sensitive than its predecessors. Studies have shown that these newer alarms are rarely
activated for no apparent reason. ‘Safe As Houses’ still sells a number of the original, sensitive
alarm systems, because the increase in threshold for motion detection means that the new
style alarms may fail to register break-in where limited force is being used.

Question 5
All of the company’s alarm system are now less sensitive.
A. True
B. False
C. Cannot say

Answer: C

Question 6
The new alarm systems should reduce the number of accidental soundings by at least a half.
A. True
B. False
C. Cannot say

Answer: C
