SBI GK Questions 2026

The static part of the awareness test in SBI exams is banking and economy knowledge, which is why the PO Mains test is named General Awareness/ Economy/ Banking Knowledge and the Clerk Mains test General/ Financial Awareness. The sample questions in the Bank's booklet ask which institution introduced Know Your Customer norms, which sector drives State incomes, who led Operation Flood and what monetary policy is concerned with, and the real papers follow that line. The topics that recur are the RBI and its functions, monetary policy tools such as the repo rate, CRR and SLR, types of banks and accounts, NPAs, priority sector lending, KYC and anti-money-laundering rules, payment systems like UPI, NEFT and RTGS, banking terms and abbreviations, financial regulators such as SEBI, IRDAI and PFRDA, development institutions such as NABARD and SIDBI, the Union Budget and the Economic Survey, GDP, inflation and national income, and government schemes for financial inclusion, insurance and pensions. A few questions ask plain static GK: headquarters and heads, currencies and capitals, and dates in banking history. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for banking exams, written as short facts and tables so that a topic can be revised in one sitting. Read a topic, then solve its quiz and the SBI previous-year questions on this site to see what you retained.

SBI GK Questions with Answers

Q443.Computer AwarenessMedium

Which of the following statements about MS-DOS and Linux is correct?

  1. A.Both are case sensitive in command and file names
  2. B.MS-DOS is multi-user while Linux is single-user
  3. C.Linux is case sensitive and multi-user while MS-DOS is neither
  4. D.Both use the backslash as the separator in a path
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Linux is case sensitive and multi-user while MS-DOS is neither

Linux treats upper and lower case as different, so a file named Report is not the same as report, and it is built as a multi-user, multitasking system in which several accounts can work at once with separate permissions and a login.

Q444.Computer AwarenessHard

In the Linux shell, which symbol adds the output of a command to the end of an existing file without erasing its contents?

  1. A.A single greater-than sign
  2. B.Two greater-than signs
  3. C.The vertical bar
  4. D.A single less-than sign
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Two greater-than signs

Writing a command followed by two greater-than signs and a file name appends the output to the end of that file and keeps whatever was already in it, which is how log files are built up.

Q446.Computer AwarenessMedium

The MS-DOS rule that a file name may have up to eight characters with an extension of up to three is called

  1. A.The 3.8 rule
  2. B.The 8.3 convention
  3. C.The long file name convention
  4. D.The FAT32 convention
Show answer
Correct answer: B. The 8.3 convention

The name is read as eight dot three: up to eight characters for the name, a dot, and up to three for the extension, as in LETTER.TXT or AUTOEXEC.BAT, with spaces and certain punctuation marks not allowed.

Q449.Computer AwarenessMedium

In Linux, the command chmod 777 on a file gives which set of permissions?

  1. A.Read and write to the owner only
  2. B.Read, write and execute to the owner, the group and others
  3. C.Read and execute to everyone, write to nobody
  4. D.Execute to the owner, read to the group, nothing to others
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Read, write and execute to the owner, the group and others

In the numeric form of chmod each of the three digits stands for one set of users, in the order owner, group and others, and each digit is the sum of read as 4, write as 2 and execute as 1.
