Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 3

GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 4

If prices are reduced by 20% and sales are increased by 15%, what is the net effect on gross receipts?

Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 4
Let original price = p, and original sales = s.

Therefore, original gross receipts = ps. Let new price = 0.80p, and new sales = 1.15s.

Therefore, new gross receipts = 0.92ps. Gross receipts are only 92% of what they were.

GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 5

A teacher gave a sum to his class to find the average of 'n' number wiz 1, 2, 3, ... n. But when the teacher checked the solution, he found that during calculation, a student just missed a number for addition and thus his average of 'n' numbers was 15. The least value of n is

Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 5
Let the missing number be k.

The sum of series 1, 2, 3, …..n is n(n+1)/2

So, according to problem statement

n2 + n – 2k = 30n

n2 – 29n = 2k

n (n – 29) = 2k

So, at n ≤ 29, the above expression is invalid. Because at n ≤ 29, the value of k become either zero or negative.

So, least value of n is 30.

At n = 30, we have

30(30 – 29) = 2k

k = 15

GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 6

Directions: Select the missing number from the given responses.

Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 6
The pattern followed is

3 x 5 x 4 = 60

5 x 7 x 2 = 70

8 x 6 x ? = 144 = 144/48 = 3, which is the answer.

GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 7

Choose a number n uniformly at random from the set {1,2,…,100}. Choose one of the first seven days of the year 2014 at random and consider n consecutive days starting from the chosen day. What is the probability that among the chosen �� days, the number of Sundays is different from the number of Mondays?

Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 7

2014 starts with a Wednesday

1234567

WTFSSM T

So if Wednesday is day n = 1 then Sundays will come on days n = 5,12,19,…96, total 15 Sundays.

Similarly if we start with-

Thursday - 14 sundays 

Friday - 14 sundays 

Saturday - 15 sundays 

Sunday - 15 sundays 

Monday - 14 sundays 

Tuesday - 14 sundays

So, probability 

⇒ P = 2/7

GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 8

Let Y = {y1} be a sequence such that

Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 8

Let Y = (yn) be the sequence of real numbers given by


Clearly, Y is not a monotone sequence. However, if m > n, then


Since , it follows that if m > n, then


Therefore, it follows that (yn) is a Cauchy sequence. Hence it converges to a
limit y. At the present moment we cannot evaluate y directly; however, passing
to the limit (with respect to m) in the above inequality, we obtain

Hence we can calculate y to any desired accuracy by calculating the terms yn
for sufficiently large n. The reader should to this and show that y is approxi-
mately equal to 0.632 120559.

GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 9

The least number which when divided by 4,5,6 and 7 leaves 3 as remainder, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder is:

Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 9

The LCM of 4,5,6 and 7 = 420

so, the required number = 420k + 3

which is exactly divisible by 9 for some value of k

Now, 420K + 3 = 46 x 9k + 6k + 3

When k = 1, 6k + 3 = 9, which is divisible by 9

So, the required number = 420 x 1 + 3 = 423

GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 30

Find all the values of x so that the following matrix A is a singular matrix.


Detailed Solution for GATE Mathematics Mock Test - 1 - Question 30

Note that a matrix is singular if and only if its determinant is zero.

So we compute the determinant of the matrix A as follows.

Thus the determinant of A is zero if

det(A) = −2x+ 4x − 2=0,

equivalently,

x− 2x + 1 = (x − 1)= 0.

Thus, the determinant of the matrix A is zero if and only if x = 1.

Hence the matrix A is singular if and only if x = 1.
