As you want to get the Bank of Baroda Probationary Officers previous year question papers so here is the information of the same for you:

Some content of the file has been given here:

Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the

questions given below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold

to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

Once upon a time, there was a royal elephant which used to reside in the

premises of the king’s palace. The elephant was very dear to the king, so

he was well-fed and well treated. There was also a Dog who lived near the

Elephant’s shed. He was very weak and skinny. He was always fascinated by

the smell of rich sweet rice being fed to the royal elephant. One day,

the Dog could no longer resist the aroma of the rice and somehow managed

to sneak into the Elephant's shed. He ate the grains of sweet rice that

fell from the Elephant’s mouth. He liked the rice so much, that he

started going there daily to eat the rice. For days, the huge Elephant

didn’t notice the small dog as he was busy enjoying the delicious food.

Gradually, the Dog grew bigger and stronger eating such rich food.

Finally the Elephant noticed him and allowed him access to the food. The

Elephant enjoyed the company of the Dog and started sharing his food with

him. They

also started spending time with each other and soon became good friends.

They ate together, slept together and played together. While playing, the

Elephant would hold the Dog in his trunk and swing him back and forth.

Soon neither of them was happy without the other. They became great

friends and didn’t want to be separated from each other.

Then one day, a man saw the Dog and asked the Elephant-keeper, “I want to

buy this Dog. What price do you want for it ?” The Elephantkeeper didn’t

own the Dog but sold it and extracted a sum of money from this deal. The

man took the Dog to his home village, which was quite far away. The

King’s Elephant became very sad after this incident. He missed his friend

a lot and started neglecting everything. He didn’t want to do anything

without his dear friend, so he stopped eating, drinking and even bathing.

Finally, the Elephant-keeper reported this to the King; however he didn’t

mention anything about the Dog. The King had a wise minister, who was

known for his keen understanding of animals. The King ordered the

minister, “Go to the Elephant shed and find out the reason for the

Elephant’s condition”. The intelligent minister went to the Elephant shed

and found the Elephant very sad. He examined the Elephant and asked the

Elephantkeeper, “There is nothing wrong with this Elephant’s body, then

why does he look so sad ? I think this Elephant is grief stricken,

possibly due to the loss of a dear friend.

Do you know if this Elephant shared a close friendship with anyone ? The

Elephant-keeper said, “There was a Dog who used to eat, sleep and play

with the Elephant. He was taken by a stranger three days ago”. The

minister went back to the King and said, “Your majesty, in my opinion,

the royal Elephant is not sick, but he is lonesome without his dear

friend, the Dog”. The King said, “You’re right, friendship is one of the

most wonderful things of life. Do you know where that Dog is ?”

The Minister replied, “Elephantkeeper has informed me that a stranger

took him away and he doesn’t know his whereabouts”. The King asked, “How

can we bring back my Elephant’s friend and make him happy again ?” The

Minister suggested, “Your Majesty, make a declaration that whoever has

the dog that used to live at the royal Elephant’s shed will be

penalized”. The King did the same and the man who had taken the dog,

instantly turned him loose when he heard the proclamation. As soon as he

was freed, the Dog ran back as fast as he could to the Elephant’s shed.

The Elephant was so delighted to see the Dog that he picked his friend up

with his trunk and swung him back and forth. The Dog wagged his tail,

while the Elephant’s eyes sparkled with happiness. The King was content

to see the Elephant happy once again and rewarded the Minister for his
