CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 1

The number of squares in a board having 10 rows and 9 columns is

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 1

Number of squares in a board having m rows and n columns (m ≥ n) = m × n + (m - 1) × (n - 1) + (m - 2) × (n - 2) ... (m - n + 1) × 1
Here, m = 10 and n = 9
Number of squares = 10 × 9 + 9 × 8 + 8 × 7 + 7 × 6 + 6 × 5 + 5 × 4 + 4 × 3 + 3 × 2 + 2 × 1
= 90 + 72 + 56 + 42 + 30 + 20 + 12 + 6 + 2 = 330

CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 3

In how many ways will a particular person be found among those six if six persons are to be selected out of ten?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 3

We require that the particular person is found in every group of 6 people out of a total of 10. As this person is common to all groups of 6, we will have to consider the number of ways of choosing the remaining 5 persons out of the other 9. This can be done in 9C5 ways = 126 ways.

CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 4

A 7-character code is such that only even digits occur at even places and only odd digits occur at odd places, e.g. 1436789. How many such codes can be made from digits 1-9, if repetition of digits is allowed?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 4

Odd digits: 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9
Even digits: 2, 4, 6, and 8
Number of ways to fill an odd place = 5
Number of ways to fill an even place = 4

Therefore,
Total number of cases = (5)4 × (4)3

CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 5

Five boxes are numbered from 1 to 5. A ball is to be placed in each box and balls of three different colours Red, Blue and Green are available. After this, a code is generated as *****, where the first * represents the first letter of colour of the ball in that box, and so on so forth (e.g. RBBGR and RBBRG are two different codes). How many different codes will result?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 5

For every box, we have three different possibilities of colours.
Therefore, total number of possibilities = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 6

If 10P5 × 4P3 = 6P5 × X × 2, then X is

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 6

10P5 × 4P3 = 6P5 × X × 2
10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × X × 2
9 × 8 × 7 = X then X = 9P3

CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 7

What is the difference between total number of arrangements when 10 members are arranged in a row and in a circle?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 7

Total number of arrangements when n members are arranged in a row = n!
Total number of arrangements when n members are arranged in a circle = (n - 1)!
Difference = n! - (n - 1)!
Difference = 10! - 9!

CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 8

How many numbers lying between 600 and 700 can be formed with the digits 0-9, where 7 occurs at exactly one of the positions (repetition is allowed)?  

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: September 29 - Question 8

Let 7 occur in the units place. So, the units digit can be placed in 1 way. The tens digit can be placed by the rest of 9 numbers. The hundreds digit can be placed by 6 only, i.e. one way.
As the numbers are between 600 and 700, number of ways = 1 × 9 × 1 = 9
Now, let 7 occur in the tens place. The units place can be filled by any of the numbers from 0-9 except 7.
The hundreds place can be filled in one way (by only 6). So, total 9 ways. 7 can't occur in the hundreds place.
∴ Total number of ways in which numbers can be formed = 9 + 9 = 18
