Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 2

Tap A can fill a tank in 16 hours. Another tap B is opened 2 hours after opening of tap A and it takes 4 more hours to fill the tank. How many minutes will tap B alone require to fill the entire tank?


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 2

Let's assume the capacity of the tank is 1.

As tap A fills the tank in 16 hours

So, tap A filling capacity per hour, ie. The volume of water tap A can fill in one hour. 

=> capacity of tank / hours tap A take to fill tank    =  1 / 16

Let  tap B filling capacity per hour = x

 As given; 

2 * ( tap A filling capacity per hour) + 4*

( tap A  and tap B together filling capacity per hour)   = capacity of tank 

=> 2 * 1/16 + 4(1/16 +x)  = 1

=> 2 + 4 + 64 x = 16

=>  64 x = 10

=>  x = 5/32

ie. The filling capacity of  tap B per hour

So, the time tap B will take to fill the tank;-

=> capacity of tank/ filling capacity of B per hour  =  32/5 hours 

=>  32/5 * 60  

=> 384 min

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 3

The number 35a246772 is in base 9. This number when written in base 10 is divisible by 8. Find the value of digit a.


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 3

(35a246772)9

= (3 x 98) + (5 x 97) + (a x 96) + ... + (2 x 90)

= [3 x (8 + 1)8] + [5 x (8 + 1)7] + [a x (8 + 1)6] + ... + [2 x (8 + 1)6]

When the above expression is expanded, only the last term of each binomial expression is not divisible by 8.
Thus, the number will be divisible when sum of its digits is divisible by 8. Sum of digits = 3 + 5 + <z + 2 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 2 = 36 + a The sum will be divisible by 8 when a = 4.

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 7

In the figure, ABCDEF is a regular hexagon and ABPQR is a regular pentagon. The side AB is common. Calculate AFR (in degrees).


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 7

Interior angle of an n-sided regular polygon = [(n - 2) × 180]/n

BAF = (6 - 2) × 180° ×  = 120°
∠BAR = (5 - 2) × 180° ×  = 108°
∠FAR + ∠BAF + ∠BAR = 360° (angles around the point)

 ∠FAR = 360° - 120° - 108° = 132°

As m(AF) and m(AR) are equal, angle opposite to the equal side is equal.

 ∠AFR =  = 24°
Therefore, 24 is the correct answer.

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 19

Area of an equilateral triangle is 8√3 cm2 . A circle passes through the incentre of the triangle such that one side of the triangle is chord to the circle such that the other two sides of the triangle are tangent to the circle. Find the area of the circle. 

Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 19

I is the incentre => mzBIC = 120°

m(arc BDC) = 240° ... (Inscribed angle theorem)

So, m(arc BIC) = 120° => mzBOC = 120° Therefore, mZlOC = mzOIC = 60°

Thus, ΔIOC is an equilateral triangle.
ΔIEC is 30°-60°-90° triangle.

Let IO = IC = OC = r
∴ EC = (r√3) / 2
∴ AC = (r√3)
∴ (√3 / 4) x (r√3)2 = 8√3
r2 = 32/3
πr2 = 32π/3 
Hence, option 2.

Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 20

A chocolate selling firm manufactures one chocolate for Rs. 20 and sells them in a box of chocolates at Rs. 960 per box such that each box contains 40 chocolates. If the firm now increases the quantity of chocolates per box by 15%, find the increase (in Rs.) in the selling price per box, so that the percent profit increases by 5 percent points.


Detailed Solution for Test: CAT Quantitative Aptitude- 8 - Question 20

The cost price per box = 40 x 20 = Rs. 800 The profit percentage = (160/800) x 100 = 20%

The required profit percentage = 25%

The number of chocolates now = 1.15 x 40 = 46

The cost price per box = 46 x 20 = Rs. 920 Selling price per box = 920 x 1.25 = Rs. 1150

Hence, the increase in the selling price per box = 1150- 960 = Rs. 190

Answer: 190
