IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 1

Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below:

A, B, C. D and E are five brothers. They have assets in the form of flats and cash only. Together they have 9 flats and each brother has at least 1 flat. Value (in terms of rupees) of all flats is equal and constant. Cash with each brother is an integral multiple of Rs. 10 lakhs. The amount of cash with B is just enough to buy one more flat, all the other brothers have cashless than that of B. E has got the maximum number of flats. A number of flats with A is equal to the sum of the number of flats with B and C. Amount of cash with B is double of that with D, but D has got assets worth Rs. 20 lakhs more than that of B.

What is the value of 1 flat?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 1
E has got the maximum number of flats and number of flats with A is equal to the sum of a number of flats with B and C. As there are 9 flats, so possible solutions are when E, A, B, C and D have 3, 2, 1, 1 and 2 or 4, 2, 1. 1 and 1 flats respectively.

Case I:B and D have one flat and two flats respectively.

Let the value of a flat be Rs. x. So, the amount of cash with B = x.

So total assets of B = 2x

Total assets of As D has got assets worth 20 lakhs more than that of B

Case II:

B and D have one flat each.

Let value of a flat be Rs. x. So, amount of cash with B = x

⇒ Total assets of B = 2x

Total assets of

As D has got assets worth 20 lakhs more than B

Here the value of x is coming as negative. So this case is not possible.

We can collate the final distribution of assets in the following table:

In above table B's flat is 40 lacks so,value of 1 flat is Rs 40 lacks.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 2

Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below:

Value (in terms of rupees) of all flats is equal and constant. Cash with each brother is an integral multiple of Rs. 10 lakhs. The amount of cash with B is just enough to buy one more flat, all the other brothers have cashless than that of B. E has got the maximum number of flats. A number of flats with A is equal to the sum of the number of flats with B and C. Amount of cash with B is double of that with D, but D has got assets worth Rs. 20 lakhs more than that of B.

What is the ratio of the maximum possible value of assets of E to the minimum possible value of assets of C?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 2
E has got the maximum number of flats and number of flats with A is equal to the sum of a number of flats with B and C. As there are 9 flats, so possible solutions are when E, A, B, C and D have 3, 2, 1, 1 and 2 or 4, 2, 1. 1 and 1 flats respectively.

Case I:B and D have one flat and two flats respectively.

Let the value of a flat be Rs. x. So, the amount of cash with B = x.

So total assets of B = 2x

Total assets of As D has got assets worth 20 lakhs more than that of B

Case II:

B and D have one flat each.

Let value of a flat be Rs. x. So, amount of cash with B = x

⇒ Total assets of B = 2x

Total assets of

As D has got assets worth 20 lakhs more than B

Here the value of x is coming as negative. So this case is not possible.

We can collate the final distribution of assets in the following table:

A number of flats with A is equal to the sum of the number of flats with B and C. Amount of cash with B is double of that with D, but D has got assets worth Rs. 20 lakhs more than that of B.

For how many brothers is it possible to find out the exact value of their total assets?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 3
E has got the maximum number of flats and number of flats with A is equal to the sum of a number of flats with B and C. As there are 9 flats, so possible solutions are when E, A, B, C and D have 3, 2, 1, 1 and 2 or 4, 2, 1. 1 and 1 flats respectively.

Case I:B and D have one flat and two flats respectively.

Let the value of a flat be Rs. x. So, the amount of cash with B = x.

So total assets of B = 2x

Total assets of As D has got assets worth 20 lakhs more than that of B

Case II:

B and D have one flat each.

Let value of a flat be Rs. x. So, amount of cash with B = x

⇒ Total assets of B = 2x

Total assets of

As D has got assets worth 20 lakhs more than B

Here the value of x is coming as negative. So this case is not possible.

We can collate the final distribution of assets in the following table:

According to the table B and D buy 1 and 2 flat respectively.

So, Only for B and D, it is possible to find the exact value of their total assets.​

Only 2 brothers find out the exact value of their total assets.

Hence the correct option is B.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 4

All natural numbers that give remainders 1 and 2 when divided by 6 and 5, respectively, are written in ascending order, side by side from left to right. What is the 99th digit from the left?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 4
Natural numbers which when divided by 5 give a remainder 2 are given by 5K + 2 [‘k’ is a whole number].

Natural numbers which when divided by 6 give a remainder 1 are given by 6m +1 [‘m’ is a whole number].

5k + 2 = 6m + 1 or 6m - 5k = 1.

All such natural numbers are 7, 37, 67, 97,127

Numbers when written one beside the other

7, 37, 67, 97, 127, 157, 187, 217, 247, 277, 307, 337.......so on.

Observe the series.

The first 4 numbers give first 7 digits. After these 4 numbers, 3 digit numbers follow. The 3 digit numbers from an A.P. with common difference 30.

First three digit number = 127

The 30th 3-digit number is = 127 + (30 -1) × 30

= 997

=> The first 34 numbers (= 4 + 30) give 97 digits (= 7 + 3 × 30)

The next number in this A.P is 997 + 30 = 1027

=> the 99th digit is 0.

Hence answer is an option (d).

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 5

A combo pack having a bulb and a tube light costs Rs. 52. If the cost of the bulb drops by 20% and the cost of the tube light escalates by 50%. the pack would cost Rs. 50. Find the price of a tube light?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 5
cost of a tubelight = t and cost of a bulb = b.

t + b = 52

cost of bulb drops by 20% and cost of tubelight increases by 50%

⇒1.5t + 0.8b = 50

Solving the two equations in t and b

t + b = 52.......(i)

1.5t + 0.8b = 50.......(ii)

Multiplying (i) equation by 4 and (ii) equation by 5

4t + 4b = 2087.5t + 4b = 250

Subtracting

3.5 t = 42

⇒ t = 12

Thus, the cost of a tube light = Rs. 12

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 6

How many sets of three distinct factors of the number N = 26 x 34 x 52 can be made such that the factors in each set have a highest common factor of 1 with respect to every other factor in that set?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 6
N = 26 × 34 × 52

Case: [A]

when none of the elements is 1 ⇒ the three factors must be some powers of 2, 3, 5 respectively.

⇒ total number of such sets = 6 × 4 × 2 = 48

Case: [B]

when one of the elements is 1

⇒ the other two factors could be of the form (2a), (3b) − number of sets = 6 × 4 = 24

(26), (52) − number of sets = 6 × 2 = 12

(34),(52) − number of sets = 4 × 2 = 8

(26 × 34 × 52) − number of sets = 6 × 4 × 2 = 48

(26 × 52 × 34) − number of sets = 6 × 2 × 4 = 48

(34 × 52 × 26) − number of sets = 4 × 2 × 6 = 48

∴ total number of such sets = 188

combining both the cases, total sets possible

= 188 + 48 = 236

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 7

Find all the values of p, such that 6 lies some where between the roots of the equation

x2 + 2(p - 3)x + 9 = 0. (‘x’ is a real number).

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 7

Both the roots will be real as 6 lies between the roots

(i) b2 − 4ac > 0

= 4(p − 3)2 − 4 × 9 > 0P(P − 6) > 0

p > 6 or p < />

(ii), since x = 6 lies between the two roots.

so, (6)2 + 2(p − 3)6 + 9 < />

Hence the correct option is A.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 8

Sum to n terms of the series

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 8

Hence the correct option is D.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 9

A manufacturing company conducted workshops on three techniques namely designing, formatting and testing for its executives. The number of executives who attended the workshop on designing is twice and thrice of the number of executives who attended the workshops on formatting and testing respectively. 42 executives attended the workshop on formatting. The aggregate number of executives who attended the workshops on exactly two techniques is at most 25% of the aggregate number of executives who attended the workshops on exactly one technique. Workshops on any combination of exactly two techniques were attended by more than 1 executive.

If the minimum possible executives attended the workshop on all three techniques, then find the minimum possible number of executives who attended the workshop on designing only.

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 9
Minimum possible number of executives who attended the workshop on all three techniques = 0.

Since we have to minimise the number of executives who attended the workshop on only designing, we have to maximise the number of executives who attended the workshop on designing, formatting and testing.

A minimum number of employees who attended the workshop on formatting and testing = 2.

A + 2B = 154.

Maximum possible value of B = 25 (Since maximum possible value of B = 0.25A)

The minimum possible value of the number of executives who attended the workshop on only designing.

= 84-(25 - 2) = 61.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 10

How many integers “a” are there such that 9x2 + 3ax + (a + 5) > 0 for all values of x ?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 10
If 9x2 + 3ax + (a + 5) > 0 for all values of x, then the discriminant of this quadratic expression must be negative.

⇒ (3a)2 -4(9) (a + 5) < 0 or a2 - 4a - 20 < 0 or R (a - 2)2 < 24

⇒ -2.89

⇒ a = -2, -1,0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

⇒ there are 9 such integral values.

Hence (c) is the correct option.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 11

a, b and c are positive real numbers such that a + b + c = p, where 'p' is a constant. Find the maximum value of (p - a) (p - b)(p - c).

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 11
(p − a), (p − b) and (p − c) all are positive numbers.

∴ AM ≥ GM

Hence (b) is the correct answer.

Alternative Method:

(p − a) + (p − b) + (p − c) = 2p(constant)

⇒ (p − a)⋅(p − b)⋅(p − c) will be maximum when

p − a = p − b = p − c = 2p/3

Maximum value of the product

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 12

What is the remainder when 36001 + 76000 is divided by 13?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 12
36001 = 3 ⋅ (36000) = 3 ⋅ (36)1000 = 3 ⋅ (729)1000 = 3(728 + 1)1000

728 is divisible by 13, so the remainder is 3.

76000 = (74)1500 = (2401)1500 = (2392 + 9)1500

2392 is divisible by 13, so we have to find the remainder when 91500 is divided by 13.

91500 = (36)500 = (729)500 = (728 + 1)500

since 728 is divisible by 13, therefore the remainder is 1.

So the net remainder = 3 + 1 = 4

Pawan was designing a Mock test. He had 8 questions for this Mock test and he had to assign a total of 30 marks to the 8 questions in this Mock test. If the minimum marks assigned to a question is 2 and each question carries integral marks, then how many ways are possible for Pawan to distribute 30 marks in this Mock test?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 26
Any question can have a maximum of 16 marks

= q1 + q2 + q3 +……… q8 = 30

where range of marks for any question, say qi

2 ≤ qi ≤ 16

or 0 ≤ q1 − 2 ≤ 14

or 0 ≤ M1 ≤ 14 (where ,qi − 2 = Mi)

⇒ M1 + M2 + M3 +…… M8 = 14

∴ Number of non-negative integral solution for (i)

= 14 + 8 − 1C8−1 = 21C7

Hence the correct option is A.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 27

Let M be a three-digit number denoted by ‘ABC’ where A. B and C are numerals from 0 to 9. Let N be a number formed by reversing the digits of M. It is known that M - N + 396C is equal to 990. How many possible values of M are there which are greater than 300?

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 27
99A – 99C + 396C = 990

99A + 297C = 990

A + 3C = 10

C = 1, 2, 3 and A = 7, 4, 1.

For each value of A and C, B can take 10 values. Also, A has to be greater than or equal to 3. So, 4B2 and 7B1 will be the numbers. B can take any value from 0 to 9. So, 20 values in total.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 28

A manufacturing company conducted workshops on three techniques namely designing, formatting and testing for its executives. The number of executives who attended the workshop on designing is twice and thrice of the number of executives who attended the workshops on formatting and testing respectively. 42 executives attended the workshop on formatting. The aggregate number of executives who attended the workshops on exactly two techniques is at most 25% of the aggregate number of executives who attended the workshops on exactly one technique. Workshops on any combination of exactly two techniques were attended by more than 1 executive.

If the maximum possible executives attended the workshop on all three techniques, then find the maximum possible number of executives who attended the workshop on both designing and formatting but not testing.

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 28
Maximum possible number of executives who attended the training sessions on all the three techniques.

= 28 - (x3 + xs + x6)

= 28 - (0 + 2 + 2) = 24.

Now,

A + 2B = 154

⇒ A + 2B = 154 - 72 = 82.

Since the maximum value of B can be 0.25A, therefore the maximum possible value of B can be 13.

Therefore the maximum possible number of executives who attended the workshop on designing and formatting.

= 13 - (2 + 2) = 9.

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 29

25x2 + y2 = 34 and xy = 3, then value of (125x3 + y3) is:

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 29
Given: 25x2 + y2 = 34

We know that,

(x3 + y3) = (x + y) (x2 + y2 − xy)

(x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy

Now,

25x2 + y2 = 34

⇒ 25x2 + y2 + 10xy = 34 + 10xy

⇒ 25x2 + y2 + 10xy = 34 + 30

⇒ (5x + y)2 = 64

⇒ (5x + y) = 8

So,

(125x3 + y3)

= (5x + y)(25x2 + y2 − 5xy)

= (8)(34 − 15)

= 8 × 19

= 152

∴ The value of (125x3 + y3) is 152.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 30

A natural number is randomly selected from 100 to 360. Find the probability that it is divisible by exactly two of the three numbers 4, 6 and 8.

Detailed Solution for IPMAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 30
Total number of numbers = 360 − 100 + 1 = 261

LCM of 4,6 and 8 is equal to 24

Here, we will take 3 cases.

Case 1: Numbers divisible by 4 and 6 but not 8.

Case 2: Numbers divisible by 6 and 8 but not 4.

Case 3: Numbers divisible by 8 and 4 but not 6.

Case 1: Numbers of the form 12, (12 + 24),(12 + 2 × 24),…

From 100 to 360, the numbers are from (12 + 4 × 24) to (12 + 14 × 24) = (14 − 4 + 1) numbers = 11 numbers.

case 2:

Numbers divisible by 8 have to be divisible by 4

Hence, no number exists in this case.

case 3:

Numbers of the form 8, (8 + 24), (8 + 2 × 24),… and

16, (16 + 24), (16 + 2 × 24),…

From 100 to 360 , the numbers are from (8 + 4 × 24) to (8 + 14 × 24) and (16 + 4 × 24) to (16 + 14 × 24)

= (14 − 4 + 1) + (14 − 4 + 1) = 22

Required probability

Alternative Method:

LCM of 4,6 and 8 is equal to 24

Number of natural numbers that are divisible by 24

Number of natural numbers that are divisible by 8

= (45 − 12 − 11) = 22

Number of natural numbers that are divisible by 4

= (30 − 8 − 11) = 11

Required probability

Hence the correct option is A.
