CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 1
Save

If the ages of P and R are added to twice the age of Q, the total becomes 59. If the ages Q and R are added to thrice the age of P, the total become 68. And, if the age of P is added to thrice the age of Q and twice the age of R, the total becomes 91. What is the age of P?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 1

Let the ages of P, Q and R be x, y and z years respectively.
Then x + 2y + z = 59 .....(1)
3x + y + z = 68 .....(2)
x + 3y + 2z = 91 .....(3)
Solving these equations, we get x = 12
Hence age of P is 12 years.

Which one of the following conditions must p, q and r satisfy so that the following system of linear simultaneous equations has at least one solution, such that p + q + r ≠ 0
x + 2y - 3z = p 
2x + 6y - 11z = q 
x - 2y + 7z = r

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 3

It is given that p + q + r ≠ 0
Multiply the first equation by 5, second by -2 and third by -1, the coefficients of x, y and z all add up to zero.
5x + 10y - 15z = 5p
-4x - 12y + 22z = -2q
-x + 2y - 7z = -r
Adding all three equations:
5p - 2q - r = 0

I. 2x2 - 7x + 3 = 0
II. 2y2 - 7y + 6 = 0
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 4

I. 2x2 - 7x + 3 = 0
⇒ 2x2 - 6x - x + 3 = 0
⇒ 2x (x - 3) - 1 (x - 3) = 0
⇒ (2x - 1) (x - 3) = 0
⇒ x = 1212 or 3
II. 2y2 - 7y + 6 = 0
⇒ 2y2 - 4y - 3y + 6 = 0
⇒ 2y (y - 2) - 3 (y - 2) = 0
⇒ (y - 2) (2y - 3) = 0
⇒ y = 2 or 3/2

Consider two different cloth-cutting processes. In the first one, n circular cloth pieces are cut from a square cloth piece of side a in the following steps : the original square of side a is divided into n smaller squares, not necessarily of the same size; then a circle of maximum possible area is cut from each of the smaller squares. In the second process, only one circle of maximum possible area is cut from the square of side a and the process ends there. The cloth pieces remaining after cutting the circles are scrapped in both the processes. The ratio of the total area of scrap cloth generated in the former to that in the latter is
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 7

The area of total scrap in second process of cutting the cloth = a2 - π (a/2)2 = 

Now by the First process of cutting the cloth:
Let us divide the big square in four equal squares of side a/2. Then the area of total scrap

 

So required ratio = 1:1
Again divide the big square in 7 small square as

In the given figure, AB is diameter of the circle and points C and D are on the circumference such that ∠CAD = 30°and ∠CBA = 70°. What is the measure of ∠ACD?
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 10

According to theorem the angle subtended by a diameter on the circumference of a circle is 90°

∠ACB = 90°

 

Angle subtended by chord AC on major segment = ∠ABC = 70°

 

Angle subtended on minor segment = 180–70 = 110° = ∠ADC

 

As sum of angles of triangle ADC = 180°

 

∠ACD = 180–30–110 = 40°

What is the distance in cm between two parallel chords of lengths 32 cm and 24 cm in a circle of radius 20 cm ?
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 11

For either right triangle OPA or OPB:
c² = a² + b²
(length of hypotenuse OA or OB)² = (length of OP)² + (length of AP or BP)²
(20 cm)² = (h₁)² + (16 cm)²
400 cm² = (h₁)² + 256 cm²
400 cm² ‒ 256 cm² = (h₁)² + 256 cm² ‒ 256 cm²
144 cm² = (h₁)²
(h₁)² = 144 cm² since equality is symmetric, i.e., if a = b, then b = a.
Now, taking the square root of both sides, we have:
h₁= ±√(144) cm
h₁= ±12 cm. Since we physically can’t have a negative distance, then:
h₁ = 12 cm.
Now, finding distance h₂ and then distance d:
For either right triangle OQC or OQD:
c² = a² + b²
(length of hypotenuse OC or OD)² = (length of OQ)² + (length of CQ or DQ)²
(20 cm)² = (h₂)² + (12 cm)²
400 cm² = (h₂)² + 144 cm²
400 cm² ‒ 144 cm² = (h₂)² + 144 cm² ‒ 144 cm²
256 cm² = (h₂)²
(h₂)² = 256 cm² since equality is symmetric, i.e., if a = b, then b = a.
Now, taking the square root of both sides, we have:
h₂= ±√(256) cm
h₂= ±16 cm. Since we physically can’t have a negative distance, then:
h₂ = 16 cm.
Lastly, finding the desired distance “d” between parallel chords AB and CD:
d = h₁ + h₂
= 12 cm + 16 cm
d = 28 cm

A man invests Rs. 3000 at the rate of 5% per annum. How much more should he invest at the rate of 8%, so that he can earn a total of 6% per annum?
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 13

Present rate of interest = 5% (Cheaper quantity)
New rate of interest = 8% (Dearer Quantity)
Mean rate of interest = 6%
Ratio of Dearer Value : Cheaper Value = m-c : d-m = 6-5 : 8-6 = 1 : 2
Dearer Value = Rs.3000/2 = Rs.1500

A zookeeper counted the heads of the animals in a zoo and found it to be 80. When he counted the legs of the animals he found it to be 260. If the zoo had either pigeons or horses, how many horses were there in the zoo?
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 15

Let the number of horses = x
Then the number of pigeons = 80 – x
Each pigeon has 2 legs and each horse has 4 legs
Therefore, total number of legs = 4x + 2(80 − x) = 260
⇒ 4x + 160 – 2x = 260
⇒ 2x = 100
⇒ x = 50

sequence2 ={a25,a26,.......................... ,a50} where a25>a26>.....................>a50
 and by given condition that each element of seq1 should be less than equal to seq2 element.
so smallest element of sequence 2 (which is a50) should be greater than equal to largest element of sequence 1(which is a24) 
so,possible sequences :

Q. Elements of S1 are in ascending order, and those of S2 are in descending order. a24 and a25 are interchanged then which of the following statements is true ?
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 17

sequence 1= {a1,a2 ,,, ......................... , a24} where a1<a2<a3<....................... <a24
sequence2 ={a25,a26,.......................... ,a50} where a25>a26>.....................>a50

OR 
1,2,3,.............................24               50,49,48,........................................,25
so if we exchange a24 and a25 seq 1 will be in ascending mode . but seq 2 will not be in descending order .

A merchant buys two articles for Rs.600. He sells one of them at a profit of 22% and the other at a loss of 8% and makes no profit or loss in the end. What is the selling price of the article that he sold at a loss?
Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test - 34 - Question 23

Let C1 be the cost price of the first article and C2 be the cost price of the second article
Let the first article be sold at a profit of 22%, while the second one be sold at a loss of 8%
We know, C1 + C2 = 600
The first article was sold at a profit of 22% = C1 + (22/100) C1 = 1.22C1
The second article was sold at a loss of 8%
Therefore, the selling price of the second article = C2 - (8/100)C2 = 0.92C2
The total selling price of the first and second article = 1.22C1 + 0.92C2
As the merchant did not make any profit or loss in the entire transaction, his combined selling price of article 1 and 2 is the same as the cost price of article 1 and 2
Therefore, 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = C1 + C2 = 600
As C1 + C2 = 600, C2 = 600 - C1. Substituting this in 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = 600, we get
1.22C1 + 0.92(600 - C1) = 600
or 1.22C1 - 0.92C1 = 600 - 0.92 × 600
or 0.3C1 = 0.08 × 600 = 48

or C1 = 48/(0.3) = 160

If C1 = 160, then C2 = 600 - 160 = 440
The item that is sold at loss is article 2
The selling price of article 2 = 0.92 × C2 = 0.92 × 440 = 404.80
