Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 1

How many zeroes are there in 60!?

Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 1

To find the number of trailing zeros in 60!, we can use the formula that counts how many times 5 is a factor in the numbers from 1 to 60. This is because the number of trailing zeros in a factorial is determined by the number of pairs of factors of 2 and 5, and there are always more factors of 2 than 5.

1. Identify the formula: The number of trailing zeros in n! can be calculated using the formula:

- Since 125>60, we stop here.

3. Add the results:
Total trailing zeros=12+2+0=14

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 3

f(x) = 13x
g(x) = |x|
h(x) = x2

What is the sum of all possible values of x for which hog(x) + fog(x) = 30?


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 3

As per the given condition,
hog(x) + fog(x) = 30
x2 + 13|x| - 30 = 0
(For x > 0, |x| = x)
When x = +ve,
x2 + 13x - 30 = 0
(x + 15)(x - 2) = 0
x = 2, x = -15 (rejected as x > 0)
When x = -ve,
x2 - 13x - 30 = 0
(x + 2)(x - 15) = 0
x = -2, x = 15 (rejected because x < 0)
Sum = -2 + 2 = 0

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 6

A is standing on the foremost point of a train moving at 270 km/hr in a straight line. He starts moving in the direction opposite to that of the train at 3 m/s. At the same time B standing on the rearmost part of the train starts moving in the direction of the train at 4 m/s. A person standing outside notices that when A moves 1800 m, B is 2100 m away from A. Find the length of the train.

Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 6

The speed of the train = 270 km/hr = 75 m/s The time after which the difference in position of A is 1800 m = 1800/(75 - 3) = 25 seconds Now, in these 25 seconds,

  • A walks 25 x 3 = 75 m towards rearmost part of the train.
  • B walks 25 x 4 = 100 m towards foremost point of the train.

At his stage, there is distance of 2100 m between them.

∴ The length of the train = 75 + 2100+100 = 2275 m

Hence, option 4.

Let, x and y be positive real numbers such that log2(x2 - y2) - log2(x + y) = 1 and log3x + log3y = 1. Then the value of y is


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 13

log2(x2 - y2) - log2(x + y) = 1

x - y = 2 ....(1)
log3x + log3y = 1
log3(x . y) = 1
xy = 31 = 3
Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2):
(2 + y)y = 3
y2 + 2y - 3 = 0
y = 1, -3
y = -3 rejected
So, the value of y is 1.

A petrol distributor adulterates petrol with kerosene and naphthalene. There are two containers of different capacities which contain this adulterated petrol. Container 1 contains 30% petrol and container 2 contains 45% petrol. If both these mixtures are mixed in a larger container in such a ratio that kerosene in it is 25% and naphthalene is 40%. Find the capacity of container 2(in litre) if the capacity of container 1 is 8 litres.

Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 14

The correct option is Option B.

Let the capacity of Container 1 be ‘a’ litres and that of Container 2 be ‘6’ litres.

∴ Petrol in container 1 = 0.3a 

Petrol in container 2 = 0.456

Similarly, petrol in the new container = 0.35(a + b)

∴ 035 a + 0.45 b = 0.35(a + b)

∴ a = 2b

Since a = 8, b = 4.

Hence, the capacity of container 2 is 8 litres.

Hence, the answer is 4

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 16

Oyo Cab service offers free ride to customers for a certain distance and then charges at a constant rate per kilometer. Biswas uses the cab to go to a nearby shopping complex and Amit goes to mall on the cab. The combined bill of Biswas and Amit amounts to Rs. 110. If the distance covered by Biswas on the cab had doubled, he would have paid Rs. 200 as charges to the cab driver, whereas in case of Amit, if the distance had doubled the charges would have been 50% less than the charges paid by Biswas in case of increased distance. What would be the amount paid by Biswas, if he travelled thrice the distance travelled by him initially?


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 16

Let free cab service is for a fixed distance for z km.
Let per kilometer charge = Rs. y
Let the distance covered by Biswas and Amit is 'a' km and 'b' km, respectively.
So,
(a + b - 2z )y = 110 ...(1)
(2a - z)y = 200 …(2)
(2b - z )y = 100 …(3)
(3) + (2) - (1)
We get
(a + b) y = 190
Also, if we add (1) and (3)
(a + b - z ) y = 150 ..(4)
Simplifying (1) and (4), we get
19z = 4a + 4b.. (5)
Also,
2a - 4b = - z …(6)
From (1) and (4)zy = 40
Also,
a = 3z
Biswas initially paid (3a - z)y, if he travelled thrice the distance travelled initially by him which is 8zy = Rs. 320

The average age of a village X at the start of the year 2008 is 30 years. Every year starting from 2009, migrants - amounting to 20% of the population of village X in 2008 - move to village X. The average age at entry, for every batch of migrants is 5 years less than that of the village X at the start of 2008. Find the average age of the village X just after the third batch of migrants enter it.

Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 17

Let the current population of the village be x.

The population of the village just after the third batch of migrants entre village X = x + 3(0.2x) = 1.6x

The total sum of the ages of the migrants just after the third batch of migrants entre village X = 0.2x x 27 + 0.2x x 26 + 0.2x x 25 = 15.6x

The average age of the village after 3 years = (33x + 15.6x )/1.6x = 30.375 years

Hence, option 4.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, 15 workers had to leave the project. The remaining workers completed the remaining 30% of the construction in 10 days by working 12 hours a day. If the total work required for the project is considered one unit, key in the value of N?


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 21

Let the unit of work done by 1 man in 1 hour and 1 day be 1 MDH unit (Man, Day, Hour).
According to question,
Work done by N workers working 8 hours per day in 20 days = N × 8 × 20 MDH units.
Since this work is equal to 70% of the total work,
i.e. 70% of the total work = 160N MDH units
Therefore, total work = 
So, remaining 30% of the total work = 
This work is completed by (N - 15) workers working 12 hours in 10 days = (N - 15) (10)(12) = 120(N - 15)

So, 

 

 

So, N = 35

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 22

Bus A left station S1 at 11 am for station S2. Another bus B having speed 75% of speed of A, left station S2 for station S1 at 12 pm. Two buses met each other at station S3, where the distance between S1 and S3 is 60% of that between S1 and S2. Find the time taken (in hours) by bus A for its journey from S1 to S2


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 6 - Question 22


Given: Speed of bus B = 75% of speed of A = 3/4 of speed of A
i.e. Ratio of speeds of A and B = 4 : 3
Let their speeds be 4V and 3V.

Also, the distance between S1 and S3 is 60% of that between S1 and S2.
i.e. S1S3 = 60/100 of S1S2 = 3/5 of S1S2
So, S1S3 = 3d, S2S3 = 2d and S1S= 5d

Now, time taken by bus A to reach S3 = 3d/4v hours ---(1)
Time taken by bus B to reach S3 = 2d/3v hours ---(2)

We need to find the time taken by A to travel from S1 to S2, i.e. 5d/4v.

Now, bus B started one hour later than bus A.

i.e. The time taken by bus A to reach S3 is one hour more than the time taken by bus B to reach S3.
i.e. 

Let d/v = k


=> k = 12

So,  hours
