What was the day on February 9, 1979?
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 14
  • We know that in 1600 years, there will be 0 odd days. And in the next 300 years, there will be 1 odd day.
  • From 1901 to 1978 we have 19 leap years and 59 non-leap years.
  • So, the total number of odd days up to 31st Dec. 1978 is 19 x 2 + 59 = 97. On dividing 97 by 7 we get 6 as the remainder, which is the total number of odd days in these years.
  • So, till 31st Dec. 1978 we have 1 + 6 = 7 odd days, which forms one complete week. Now, in 1979, we have 3 odd days in January, and 2 odd days in the month of February (up to 9th Feb).
  • So, the total odd days are 3 + 2 = 5.
  • Hence, 9th February 1979 was a Friday.

Five tests, one each on five different subjects - Physics, History, Biology, English and Maths, were conducted on a single day. 20% of the students were absent on that particular day and hence were not able to take the tests. All the present students took each of the five tests. As the school policy, the absent students were assumed to have failed in the tests.

Q. Find the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls who passed in the History test.
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 15

Let the number of students who were present and absent for the tests be 20x and 5x, respectively.
Therefore, the number of boys and that of girls who were present for the tests were 8x and 12x, respectively.
The number of boys and that of girls who were absent for the tests were 4x and x, respectively.
The total number of boys and girls in the class was (8x + 4x = 12x) and (12x + x = 13x), respectively.

Directions: The question is based on the following table and information.

1. In 1984-85, the value of exports of manufactured articles exceeds the value of exports of raw materials by 100%.
2. In 1985-86, the ratio of % of exports of raw material to that of exports of manufactured articles is 3 : 4.
3. Exports of food in 1985-86 exceeds the 1984-85 figure by Rs. 1006 crore.

Percentage of Total Value of Exports in India

Q. The change in value of exports of manufactured articles from 1984-85 to 1985-86 is
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 21

Value of food exports in 1985-86 = 0.23 × Rs. 25,800 crore = Rs. 5934 crore
Let the value of exports of raw material be 3y and that of manufactured articles be 4y.
So, 7y + Rs. 5934 crore = Rs. 25,800 crore
Or, y = Rs. 2838 crore
Thus, value of exports of manufactured articles in 1985-86 = 4 × Rs. 2838 crore = Rs. 11,352 crore
Value of food exports in 1984-85 = Rs. 5934 crore - Rs. 1006 crore = Rs. 4928 crore
Now, let the value of raw material exports in 1984-85 be z.
Thus, value of exports of manufactured articles in 1984-1985 be 2z.
Now, Rs. 4928 crore + 3z = Rs. 22,400 crore
Or, z = Rs. 5824 crore
Value of exports of manufactured articles in 1984-85 = 2z = 2 × Rs. 5824 crore = Rs. 11,648 crore
Thus, required value = Rs. (11648 - 11352) crore = Rs. 296 crore
Hence, option 1 is correct.

Let total sales be ‘x’

The commission that Sailesh will get is x – 265000

He gets 6% on sales upto 100000 and 5% on sales greater than that.

Calculating his commission on total sales:

0.06*100000 + 0.05(x-100000)

Equating,

0.05x + 1000 = x – 265000

0.95x = 266000

Rohan purchased some pens, pencils and erasers for his young brothers and sisters for the ensuing examinations. He had to buy atleast 11 pieces of each item in a manner that the number of pens purchased is more than the number of pencils, which is more than the number of erasers. He purchased a total of 38 pieces. If the number of pencils cannot be equally divided among his 4 brothers and sisters, how many pens did he purchase?
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 25
  • Different possibilities for the number of pencils = 12 or 13.
  • Since it cannot be divided into his 4 brothers and sisters, it has to be 13.
  • The number of erasers should be less than the number of pencils and greater than or equal to 11. So the number of erasers can be 11 or 12.
  • If the number of erasers is 12, then the number of pens = 38 - 13 - 12 = 13, which is not possible as the number of pens should be more than the number of pencils.
  • So the number of erasers = 11 and therefore the number of pens = 14

After striking the floor, a rubber ball rebounds to 4/5th of the height from which it has fallen. Find the total distance that it travels before coming to rest if it has been gently dropped from a height of 120 metres.
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 26

► So, starting from a height of 120m, the object will rebound to 4/5th of its original height after striking the floor each and every time.
► This means after the first drop the ball will rebound and will fall with that rebound metres, and so on.

► We get a series from these observations

Total distance travelled = 120 + 96 + 96 + 76.8 + 76.8 + 61.4 + 61.4 + ….

⇒ 120 + 2*(96 + 76.8 + 61.4 …)

⇒ 120 + 2*(96 + 96*(4/5) + 96(4/5)2 + …)

► Now, inside those brackets, it is a Geometric Progression or a GP with the first term a = 96 and the common ratio r = 4/5 = 0.8

► As it is an infinite GP, the sum of all it's terms is equal to a / (1-r)

So, the sum of distances covered = 120 + 2*96 / (1 - 0.8)
⇒ 120 + 960 = 1080m.
