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

In a lake, there are 10 steps labelled using alphabets from A to J. Starting from step A, every minute a frog jumps to the 4th step from where it started - that is from the step A it would go to the step E and from E it would go to the step I and from I it would go to C etc. Where would the frog be at the 60 th minute if it starts at step A?

Detailed Solution for SLAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 9
The steps are labelled using alphabets from A to J.

We have assigned numbers to the steps as follows:

Labelled with alphabets: A B C D E F G H I J

Labelled with numbers : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The frog takes total 60 minutes and takes 4 step length jumps every time.

Thus,

1st minute : 1 + 4 = 5th step (E)

2nd minute : 5 + 4 = 9th step (I)

3rd minute : 9 + 4 = 3rd step ©

4th minute : 3 + 4 = 7th step (G)

5th minute : 7 + 4 = 11 = 10+1 = 1st step (A)

The same process is repeated 12 x 5 times.

Then, the jumping positions are

1 5 9 3 7

1 5 9 3 7

1 5 9 3 7 and so on.

After 15 cycles, the frog will be in the 1st position i.e., at 5th minute, 10th minute, 15 minutes......... till 60th-minute frog will be in the 1st position. i.e., at the 60th minute, it will be at A.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

As per the given in the question,

The selling price of the article = Rs. 700

On 30% loss,

Rs. 8400 is divided among A, B, C, and D in such a way that the shares of A and B, B and C, and C and D are in the ratios of 2:3, 4:5, and 6:7 respectively. The share of A is:

Detailed Solution for SLAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 26
Now share of A and B is 2:3

A's share can not be exceeded from total number of share which is given Rs. 8400.

If consider Option (A)

Share of A= Rs. 1280

Share of A/Share of B = ⅔

∴ Share of B = (3/2) × A's Share

= 3/2 x 1280

= Rs. 1920

Similarly, B : C = 4 : 5

∴ Share of C = (2/4) × B's Share

= ¾ x 1920

= Rs. 2400

Similarly C:D=6:7

∴ Share of D = (7/6) × C's Share

= 7/6 x 2400

= Rs. 2800

Total number of Share = 1280 + 1920 + 2400

= Rs. 8400

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

Akhil invested a certain amount of money in a business for 10 months. After Two months, Amit invested Rs. 4000 more than Akhil in the same business. If Akhil and Amit received Rs. 38500 and Rs. 42000 respectively as their profit after 10 months, find Amit’s investment?

Detailed Solution for SLAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 27
Let Akhil's investment be Rs. 'x'

Amit's investment = Rs. (x + 4000)

Now,

Ratio of their investments = Ratio of their share of profit

(x × 10):[(x + 4000) × 8] = 38500 : 42000

⇒10x/(32000+8x) = 11/12

⇒ 120x = 352000 + 88x

⇒ 32x = 352000

⇒ x = Rs.11000

∴ Amit's investment = 4000+11000= Rs. 15000

Hence, the correct option is (C).

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

If x + y + z = 1, xy +yz + zx =−1 and xyz = −1, find the value of x3 + y3 + z3.

Detailed Solution for SLAT Mock Test - 8 (New Pattern) - Question 30
Given,

x + y + z = 1, xy + yz + zx = −1 and xyz = −1

⇒ x3 + y3+ z3− 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 − xy − yz − zx)

⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 −3(−1) = 1(x2 + z2 + z2)−(−1)

⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 + 3 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 1

⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 + 2 = x2 + y2 + z2

⇒ (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

⇒ 12 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(−1)

⇒ x2 + y2 + z2 = 1 + 2

⇒ x2 + y2 + z2 =3

⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 + 2 = 3

⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 =1

Hence, the correct option is (D).
