CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 3

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.

The study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the past. We may repeat mistakes, but, at least, we have the opportunity to avoid them. Second, history teaches us what questions to ask about the present. Contrary to some people's view, the study of history is not the memorization of names, dates, and places. It is the thoughtful examination of the forces that have shaped the courses of human life. We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences about current events. History teaches us about likely outcomes.

Another benefit of the study of history is the broad range of human experience which is covered. War and peace are certainly covered as are national and international affairs. However, matters of culture (art, literature and music) are also included in historical study. Human nature is an important part of history: emotions like passion, greed, and insecurity have influenced the shaping of world affairs. Anyone who thinks that the study of history is boring has not really studied history.

Q. Which method of teaching history would the author of this passage support?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 3
The lines, 'We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences ...' and 'War and peace are certainly covered as are national and international affairs' indicate that option 1 is correct.
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 4

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 5

Directions: In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.

If you have a creative streak which you have never (1)/ pursued or interested in a new field, (2)/ gather your energy and move towards it. (3)/ No error (4)

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 5
To maintain parallelism with 'have a creative streak' the correct phrase should be 'have been interested in'. Thus, the correct sentence would be ''If you have a creative streak which you have never pursued or have been interested in a new field, gather your energy and move towards it.''
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 6

Directions: The sentence has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for the blanks which best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Survival of mankind _______ is in danger due to ______ of atomic weapons.

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 6
Here, the subject is 'survival of mankind' and for this, the use of 'itself' is correct. 'Itself' is used to emphasise the thing referred to (here, 'survival').

So, option (4) is correct.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 7

Directions: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer out of the four alternatives.

There may be some merit in this, but clearly, we need to look at the hawkers issue more broadly. For quite some time now, many middle-class citizens groups have urged strict action against hawkers, asking residents not to favour their business. The terms routinely used to refer to hawkers and vendors is "menace", with their everyday businesses described as "encroachments" on public space. This, despite the fact that an existing 2014 central law, the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, protects their presence as a part of the right to livelihood. The law specifies the number of licensed hawkers permitted and outlines the process to implement a fair street vending policy. Mumbai and other cities have failed to implement the law to date, with the Mumbai municipality having frozen hawker licenses since 1978. As a result, only a fraction of Mumbai's hawkers are licensed. Hawkers desire legal status — their illegality makes them vulnerable to extortion and harassment by a whole range of State and non-State actors.

Unfortunately, by looking upon the hawkers question as only a clearing of pavements issue, we have neglected to see their contribution in several other ways. Firstly, hawkers are not the only ones sullying our pavements. But they are far easier to target as villains than the middle-class who use pavements for car parking and shops/restaurants who unabashedly extend their shopfronts onto footpaths. Secondly, hawking is also an employment issue. It provides the urban poor a means to earn a legitimate livelihood, and in fact, many sell goods produced in small-scale or home-based industries.

Q. Why does the middle class think of hawking as a menace?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 7
The following sentence from the passage, 'The terms routinely used to refer to hawkers and vendors is "menace", with their everyday businesses described as "encroachments" on public space' authenticates this choice.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 8

Directions: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer out of the four alternatives.

There may be some merit in this, but clearly, we need to look at the hawkers issue more broadly. For quite some time now, many middle-class citizens groups have urged strict action against hawkers, asking residents not to favour their business.

Secondly, hawking is also an employment issue. It provides the urban poor a means to earn a legitimate livelihood, and in fact, many sell goods produced in small-scale or home-based industries.

Q. What makes the middle class too guilty of the same crime they blame hawkers?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 8
The following sentences, '... hawkers are not the only ones sullying our pavements. But they are far easier to target as villains than the middle-class who use pavements for car parking and shops/restaurants who unabashedly extend their shopfronts onto footpaths' validates this choice. The middle class is guilty of the very same crime they blame on the hawkers, i.e. of encroachment of public spaces.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 9

Directions: Choose the option which improves the sentence given below. Option 1 repeats the original sentence. Choose option 1 if you think that no improvement is required.

They called at us yesterday to discuss cash credit account.

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 9
'Called at' is used for a place, and 'called on' or 'called upon' is used for persons. Hence, option (4) is the answer.
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 10

Directions: In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.

She was so much overwhelmed with her (1)/ sons' devotion and affection that she (2)/ did distributed all her wealth and property among them. (3)/ No error (4)

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 10
The word 'did' is redundant. Correct phrase should be 'she distributed'.
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 11

Directions: Select the option that fills the blank most suitably.

We are all animated with the spirit of an industry which is ________ and unrestrained, because each person works for himself.

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 11
The clue word in this sentence is "and", thus the blank must be replaced by a word that means similar to ''unrestrained''. "Unfettered" in (1) means free from restraint of any kind, hence the answer.
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 12

Directions: In the question, the word at the top is used in different ways. Choose the option in which the usage of the word is INCORRECT or INAPPROPRIATE.

ABANDONED

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 12
'Abandon' means 'to give up, desert - at a point of time, not in a period of time'. In sentence (4) the word "ignored" should replace "abandoned."
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 13

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.

The study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the past. We may repeat mistakes, but, at least, we have the opportunity to avoid them. Second, history teaches us what questions to ask about the present. Contrary to some people's view, the study of history is not the memorization of names, dates, and places. It is the thoughtful examination of the forces that have shaped the courses of human life. We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences about current events.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 14

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.

The study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the past. We may repeat mistakes, but, at least, we have the opportunity to avoid them.

Anyone who thinks that the study of history is boring has not really studied history.

Q. What is the main idea of this passage?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 14
Among the given options, option 4 is closest to the main idea conveyed in the passage. The passage talks about the multiple benefits of history. It can help us learn from the past, draw inferences about the present and get to know about various human experiences. All other options can be negated as they are narrow, they talk about only one of the aspects mentioned in the passage.
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 15

Directions: In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.

They even tried to smuggle bits of jazz into (1)/ serious music as that the composer could (2)/ somehow survive. (3)/ No error (4)

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 15
Replace 'as that' with 'so that'. 'So that' tells us for what purpose something is done. An action/plan (smuggle bits of jazz) is followed by 'so that' + a clause that expresses purpose or goal (composer could somehow survive).
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 16

Directions: Identify the option which should replace the underlined part in the following sentence to make it meaningful and grammatically correct.

Natural gas is the main feed stock for fertiliser industry, the price of natural gas supplied to fertiliser industry does not seem to reflect its true cost.

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 16
The use of the noun 'natural gas' gets repeated in the original sentence. Hence, possessive pronoun 'its' is used in place of 'natural gas'. To avoid repitition, the phrase 'the price of natural gas supplied to fertiliser industry' is replaced by 'its supply price'. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 17

Directions: The question consists of a CAPITALISED word followed by four possible illustrations of the meaning. Choose the one, which is the most suitable illustration.

EXPLOIT

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 17

So, option 4 is the correct answer.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 18

Directions: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer out of the four alternatives.

There may be some merit in this, but clearly, we need to look at the hawkers issue more broadly. For quite some time now, many middle-class citizens groups have urged strict action against hawkers, asking residents not to favour their business. The terms routinely used to refer to hawkers and vendors is "menace", with their everyday businesses described as "encroachments" on public space.

Secondly, hawking is also an employment issue. It provides the urban poor a means to earn a legitimate livelihood, and in fact, many sell goods produced in small-scale or home-based industries.

Q. Why do only a small number of Mumbai's hawkers have licenses?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 18
The answer can be found from the lines, 'Mumbai and other cities have failed to implement the law to date, with the Mumbai municipality having frozen hawker licenses since 1978. As a result, only a fraction of Mumbai's hawkers are licensed.'

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 19

Directions: The sentence has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for the blanks which best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

I can _______ for his honesty though the circumstances appear to _______ him in the bribery case.

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 19
'Though' sets up a contrast. Due to adverse circumstances, an honest person seems to have been implicated in a bribery case. 'Vouch' is 'to attest or affirm'. So, the answer is option (3).

Option 4 is incorrect as when one confirms someone's honesty, one can 'vouch' for it and not 'verify' for it. Also, 'verify' is not followed by the preposition 'for'. Thus, the option is eliminated.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 20

Directions: Select the meaning of the underlined idiom/phrase in the given sentence.

When they embraced a new religion, it is safe to say they did it for loaves and fishes.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 21

If (5x2 – 3y2) : xy = 11 : 2, then the positive value of x/y is:

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 21
5x2 - 3y2 = 11xy/2

10x2 - 6y2 = 11xy

Dividing both sides by y2,

Put x/y = k.

10k2 - 6 = 11k

10k2 - 11k - 6 = 0

After solving, we get

k = 3/2 or -⅖

So, k = x/y = 3/2

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 22

What are the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle, whose vertices are A(1, -5), B(-4, 0) and C(3, -4)?

A man spends ⅔ rd of his income. If his income increases by 14% and the expenditure increases by 20%, then the percentage increase in his savings will be

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 23
Let the income of the man be Rs. 100.

Expenditure of man = (⅔) x 100 = Rs. 200/3

Savings = 100 – (200/3)= Rs.100/3.

If the income is increased by 14%,

New income = 100 + 14 = Rs. 114

Expenditure increases by 20%,

New expenditure =

New expenditure = Rs. 80

New savings = 114 - 80 = Rs. 34

Percentage =

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 24

In a partnership business, A invests ⅙ th of the capital for ⅙ th of the total time, B invests ¼ th of the capital for ¼ th of the total time and C invests the rest of the capital for the whole time. Out of a profit of Rs. 19,400, B's share is

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 24
Total investment by A = 1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36

Total investment by B = 1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16

Total investment by C = 1 – (1/6 + 1/4) = 7/12th of the capital for the whole time

Ratio of profit sharing will be 1/36 : 1/16 : 7/12.

Simplified ratio = 4 : 9 : 84

Therefore, B's share = (9/97) × 19,400 = Rs. 1800

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 25

A man works 10 hours a day for 3 days to finish a piece of work. A boy finishes the same work in 5 days working 18 hours a day. How many boys are required to do the job in the same time as the man?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 25
One boy finishes the work in 90 hours (5 days working 18 hours a day).

One man finishes the work in 30 hours (10 hours a day for 3 days).

So, 3 boys are required to finish the work in 30 hours.

Alternative Method:

M × 10 × 3 = B × 5 × 18

or, 30M = 90B

or, M/B = 3/1

Hence, Efficiency ; M : B = 3 : 1

Thus, 3 boys are required to do the job in the same time as the man.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 26

At 6'o clock, what is the angle between the hands of a clock?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 26
At 6'o clock, the hands of clock divide the clock in two equal parts.

Hence, the angle between the hands of clock at 6'o clock

The total number of cars sold by company C in 2018 exceeds the average number of cars sold by company A during 2014-2018 by:

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 29
Total number of cars sold by company C in 2018 = 76,000

Total number of cars sold by company A during 2014-2018 = 52,000 + 61,000 + 72,000 + 52,000 + 63,000 = 3,00,000

Average number of cars sold by company A during 2014-2018 = 3,00,000/5 = 60,000

Required number = 76,000 - 60,000 = 16,000

Hence, answer option 3 is correct.

CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 30

The given table represents the sale (in thousands) of cars by four companies A, B, C and D in six years. Study the table and answer the question that follows.

What is the ratio of the total number of cars sold by companies A, B and D in 2017 to the total number of cars sold by all four companies in 2018?

Detailed Solution for CMAT Mock Test - 7 (New Pattern) - Question 30
Total number of cars sold by companies A, B and D in 2017 (in thousands) = 52 + 53 + 75 = 180

Total number of cars sold by all four companies in 2018 (in thousands) = 63 + 67 + 76 + 74 = 280

Ratio of the total number of cars sold by companies A, B and D in 2017 to the total number of cars sold by all four companies in 2018 = 180 : 280 = 9 : 14

Hence, answer option 3 is correct.
