CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 1

LCM of first 100 natural numbers is N. What is the LCM of first 105 natural numbers?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 1

N is the LCM of first 100 natural numbers.
Now 101 is a prime number, so 101 and N do not have any common factors. Hence their LCM = 101 X N
102= 2 X 51, since 2 < 100 and 51 < 100, 102 divides N
103 is a prime number, no common factors between 103 and N
104= 52 X 2; since 2 < 100 and 52 < 100, 105 divides N 
105 = 21 X 5; since 5 < 100 and 21 < 100, 105 divides N 
Hence, LCM of first 105 natural number is N X 101 X 103

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 2

The total number of 3 digit numbers which have two or more consecutive digits identical is:

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 2

In each set of 100 numbers, there are 10 numbers whose tens digit and unit digit are same. Again in the same set there are 10 numbers whose hundreds and tens digits are same. But one number in each set of 100 numbers whose Hundreds, Tens and Unit digit are same as 111, 222, 333, 444 etc
Hence, there are exactly (10 + 10 - 1) = 19 numbers in each set of 100 numbers. Further there are 9 such sets of numbers
Therefore such total numbers = 19 × 9 = 171

Alternatively,
9 × 10 × 10 - 9 × 9 × 9 = 900 - 729 = 171

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 3

Find the last non zero digit of 96!

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 3

4*z(96/5)*z(6)

=4*z(19)*8

=8*(4*z(19/5)*z(9))

=8*(4*z(3)*8)

=8*(4*6*8)

=1536 i.e last digit is 6

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 4

Two players A and B are playing a game of putting ‘+’ and signs in between any two integers written from 1 to 100. A starts the game by putting a plus sign anywhere between any two integers. Once all the signs have been put, the result is calculated. If it is even then A wins and if it is odd then B wins, provided they are putting signs by taking turns one by one and either of them can put any sign anywhere between any two integers. Who will win at the end?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 4

Whatever is the sign between two consecutive integers starting from 1 to 100, it will be odd. So, we are getting 50 sets of odd numbers. Now, whatever calculation we do among 50 odd numbers, result will always be even. So, A will win always.

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 5

How many divisors of 105 will have at least one zero at its end?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 5

In order for a divisor (or any number) to have a zero at its end, it must have a 10 as a factor, i.e., a 2-and-5 pair. Notice that

10^5 = 2^5 x 5^5 = (2^4 x 5^4) x (2 x 5)

Therefore, any divisors of 2^4 x 5^4 will have a zero at its end when multiplied by 2 x 5. Since 2^4 x 5^4 has (4 + 1)(4 + 1) = 25 divisors, 10^5 has 25 divisors that have at least one zero at its end.

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 6

Find the remainder when 496 is divided by 6.

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 6

 496/6, We can write it in this form
(6 - 2)96/6
Now, Remainder will depend only the powers of -2. So,
(-2)96/6, It is same as
([-2]4)24/6, it is same as
(16)24/6
Now,
(16 * 16 * 16 * 16..... 24 times)/6
On dividing individually 16 we always get a remainder 4.
So,
(4 * 4 * 4 * 4............ 24 times)/6.
Hence, Required Remainder = 4.
NOTE: When 4 has even number of powers, it will always give remainder 4 on dividing by 6.

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 7

Tatto bought a notebook containing 96 pages leaves and numbered them which came to 192 pages. Tappo tore out the latter 25 leaves of the notebook and added the 50 numbers she found on those pages. Which of the following is not true?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 7

Information Given:

  • The notebook has 96 leaves, which means it has 192 pages (since each leaf has two pages).
  • The pages are numbered from 1 to 192.
  • Tappo tore out the last 25 leaves of the notebook. Since each leaf has 2 pages, she tore out 50 pages.

Step 1: Determine the page numbers torn out

The last 25 leaves correspond to the last 50 pages in the notebook. Since the total number of pages is 192, the page numbers torn out would be from 143 to 192.

Step 2: Calculate the sum of the torn-out pages

The sum of an arithmetic series (in this case, the page numbers) is given by:

For the torn-out pages from 143 to 192:

  • First term (aaa) = 143
  • Last term (lll) = 192
  • Number of terms (nnn) = 50

So, the sum is:

Step 3: Analyze each option

  1. Option 1: She could have found the sum of pages as 1990.

    • To find if this is possible, subtract 1990 from the total sum of all pages (1 to 192):

    • Since the remaining sum does not match with any realistic remaining pages, this option is not possible.
  1. Option 2: She could have found the sum of pages as 1275.

    • Subtracting 1275 from the total sum: Remaining sum=18528−1275=17253
    • The sum is possible and reasonable, so this option is possible.
  2. Option 3: She could have found the sum of pages as 1375.

    • Subtracting 1375 from the total sum: Remaining sum=18528−1375=17153
    • The sum is possible and reasonable, so this option is possible.

Conclusion:

Option 1: She could have found the sum of pages as 1990 is not true because the sum 1990 cannot realistically be the sum of the pages torn out in this context.

Answer: Option 1

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 8

There are 50 integers a1, a2,........, a50, not all of them necessarily different. Let the greatest integer of these 50 integers be referred to as G, and the smallest integer is referred to as L. The integers a1 through a24 form sequence S1, and the rest form sequence S2. Each member of S1 is less than or equal to each member of S2.
Every element of S1 is made greater than or equal to every element of S2 by adding to each element of S1 an integer x. Then, x cannot be less than:

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 8

The smallest integer of the series is 1 and greatest integer is 50. If each element of S1 is made greater of equal to every element of S2, then the smallest element 1 should be added to (50 - 1) = 49. Hence option (G-L) is the correct answer.

As this is a variable based question: the word "ANY" can be used.

Let the series of integers a1,a2,.......,a50 be 1,2,3,4,5,.......,50.

S1=1,2,3,4,.........24, S2=25,26,27,..........50.

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 9

Srini wrote his class 10th board examination this year. When the result came out he searched for his hall ticket to see his roll number but could not trace it. He could remember only the first three digits of the 6 digit number as 267. His father, however, remembered that the number was divisible by 11. His mother gave the information that the number was also divisible by 13. They tried to recollect the number when all of a sudden Srini told that the number was a multiple of 7. What was the unit digits of the number?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 9

His roll number is divisible by 1001 and the first three digits are 267. Hence the last three digits will also be 267.

CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 10

When 7179 and 9699 are divided by another natural number N , remainder obtained is same. How many values of N will be ending with one or more than one zeroes?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 10

When 7179 and 9699 are divided by another natural number N, remainder obtained is same.
 Let remainder is R, then (7179 — R) and (9699 — R) are multiples of N and {(9699 — R) — (7179 — R)} is multiple of N. Then 2520 is multiple of N or the largest value of N is 2520. Total factors of N which are multiples of 10 is 18.

The person wearing a red cap is eating pastries.
Amit does not eat ice cream and Cheryl is eating sandwiches. Bharati is wearing a yellow cap and Amit is wearing a blue cap. Eric is eating pizza and is not wearing a green cap.
Who is Wearing the white cap ?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 2 - Question 12

There are five people in the scenario. And each person is associated with two properties. For instance those are Colour of the caps, and the dish they are eating. Hence the tabulation method is easier to apply.


 

Hence, The properties can be tabular form as it is shows in the given information.

We know that a person wearing a red cap is eating pastries. So There is only one place possible in the table to fit this combination. Therefore the person will be Deepak.


We also know that Eric is not wearing a green cap. Hence, the one who is wearing a green cap should be Cheryl. Since Amith does not eat Ice Cream, it should be Bharati who is eating it. That leaves us with the fact that Amith should be eating burgers. As that’s the only dish left. And hence, Eric should be wearing a white cap.
