GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 1

A man travels at a speed of 30 km/hr, which results in him arriving at his destination 10 minutes late. Conversely, if he increases his speed to 42 km/hr, he arrives 10 minutes early. Determine the distance he has traveled ______.

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 1

Let the distance traveled = xkm
∴ Time taken in traveling at 30 km/hr = x / 30 hr
Time taken in traveling at 42 km/hr = x / 42 hr

2x = 70
∴ x = 35km.

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 2

Rational individuals manage to live _____ their financial capabilities. (Use appropriate Preposition)

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 2

- The correct preposition is "within."
- Living within one's means means spending less or only as much as one earns.
- "Within" indicates a boundary, suggesting the person does not exceed their financial limit.
- Other options like "in," "on," or "with" do not convey the idea of staying inside financial limits.
- Therefore, sensible people live "within" their means to maintain financial stability.

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 3

A vehicle has the option to use two kinds of fuels, A and B. When using fuel A, it can cover 200 km with 10 litres in a duration of 5 hours. Fuel B offers an additional average of 2 km per litre compared to A, although the speed decreases by 25%. It is possible to utilize a combination of both fuels, where the speed and efficiency are directly proportional to the quantities of fuels blended. Given that 1 litre of fuel A is priced at Rs.20 and 1 litre of fuel B costs Rs.25, what is the minimum expenditure required for the car to travel 212 km using 10 litres of fuel within a time frame of less than 6 hours and 25 minutes?

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 3

Note that using A alone it cannot cover the distance with the fuel and using B alone it cannot meet the time constraint.

He has to cover 21.2 km per litre of petrol.

He can do that by mixing B and A in a ratio of

Note that the same ratio gives the required speed.

= Rs. 230.

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 4

What is the total value of the following expression  ?

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 4

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 5

Consider an integer x defined by the following criteria:
(i) x is the total of two or more distinct odd numbers; and
(ii) x < 100
How many unique values can 'x' assume?

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 5

If x is odd, x - 4 is odd and 4=1+3.
Hence x = 1+3+ (x - 4)
∴ 1, 3 and (x - 4) are distinct if x greater than or equal to 9. Between 9 and 99 there are 46 odd numbers.
If x is even, x=1+(x - 1).
1 and (x-1) are distinct if x is greater than or equal to 4. Between 4 and 100, there are 49 even numbers.
∴ total =95.
Alternately, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 cannot be computed.

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 6

In a particular club, every member either consistently tells the truth or always lies. The total number of members is more than three but fewer than fifty. All members are arranged around a circular table. Each member asserts that the individual on their right is a liar. The president of the club, who is also a member, states that the total number of members is a prime number. The member seated to the left of the president claims that the number of members is a multiple of three, while the member on the president’s right asserts that the number of members is a multiple of seven. Therefore, the total number of members must be _______.

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 6

Suppose the club has an odd number of members, say 5. If the first member is lying, the next one says the truth, the next lies, the fourth speaks the truth and the fifth lies. This is not possible, as the first is also a liar. Thus the club can have only even number of members. Hence the president is lying. This proves that M1 and M2 speak the truth.

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 10

A sector has a gross density of 250 pph and a net density of 450 pph. How many times does the net residential area compare to the gross area of the sector?

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 6 (Planning) - Question 10

Residential (Net) Density = Total Population/ Residential Area

Gross Density = Total Population/ Gross Area

⇒ Gross Density/ Residential Density = Residential Area/ Gross Area

⇒ 250/ 450 = Residential Area/ Gross Area

⇒ Residential Area = 5/9 of Gross Area
