Answer the following question based on the information given below.

In an MBA entrance exam, questions are classified into two sections - Quants and Verbal. The number of questions in Quants is less than 100 while that in Verbal is not less than 75. Within each section, the questions are classified into Easy or Difficult based on the number of concepts involved. An easy question requires not more than 1 concept, while a difficult question requires 2 or more concepts to solve.Further, a question could be lengthy (atleast 3 minutes to solve) or non- lengthy (less thanl minute to solve).

Based on the following data, answer the subsequent questions.

1. The number of difficult, non-lengthy questions in Verbal is 10 less than half the number of easy, non-lengthy questions in Quants.

2. The ratio of number of easy, lengthy questions in Quants to number of difficult, lengthy questions in Verbal is 5:3.

3. The number of non-lengthy, difficult questions in Quants is 5 less than thrice the number of lengthy, easy questions in Verbal.

4. The number of lengthy questions in Verbal is 35 less than the number of easy questions in Quant.

5. The number of non-lengthy questions in Quants is 30 more than the number of difficult questions in Verbal.

6. The number of easy, non lengthy question in Verbal is thrice the number of lengthy, difficult questions in Quant.

7. Each sub-section had atleast 5 questions.

 

Q.What is the number of easy, but lengthy questions in the Verbal section?

Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 1

Represent Quant-lengthy-easy as Q-L-E, Verbal-non-lengthy-difficult as V-NL-D and so on.
Let Q-L-E = 5x, Q-NL-E = 2z, Q-L-D = K and V-L-E = y

V-L-D = 3x (from 2), V-NL-D = z - 10 (from 1), V-NL-E = 3K (from 6) and Q-NL-D = 3y - 5 (from 3)

Now, the questions in Quants and Verbal can be classified as easy/difficult or lengthy/non-lengthy as shown below.


The number of non-lengthy questions in Quants is 30 more than the number of difficult questions in Verbal.

2z + 3y - 5 = (3x + z — 10) + 30

3y + z - 3x = 15 ...(i)

The number of lengthy questions in Verbal section is 35 less than the number of easy questions in Quant.

y + 3x = (5x + 2z) - 35

2x - y + 2z = 35 ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii)

7y - 8x = 15

(x,y) = (6, 9) or (13, 17) or (20, 25) etc.

Corresponding value for z = 16 or 13 or 10 etc..
Since each sub-section has at least 5 qestions, the number of non-lengthy, difficult question in the verbal section
(z - 10) > 5.
z > 15
z = 16
Thus, (x,y ,z) = (6, 9, 16) Also,the number of question in Quants is less than 100 while that in verbal is not less than 75.
Number o f questions in Quants = 5x + 2z + (3y - 5 ) + K = M + K < 100

If Rohan was born on 29th March 1990 on Thursday, on what day on the week will his 25th birthday fall?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 9

Rohan’s 25th birthday will be on 29th March 2015.
Now, the first 2000 completed years comprise 5 sets of 400 years each. Since there are 0 odd days in 400 years, there are 0 odd days in the first 2000 years as well.
The 14 completed years from 2000 to 2014 have 3 leap years (2004, 2008 and 2012) and 11 non-leap years.
Since a non-leap year has 1 odd day and a leap year has 2 odd days,

Total odd days in these 14 years = 11(1) + 3(2) = 17 = 7(2) + 3 i.e. 3 odd days.

Total number of days in 2015 (upto 29th March) = 31 + 28 + 29 = 88 days (as 2015 is not a leap year).
Number of odd days in this period = 7(12) + 4 i.e. 4 odd days.
So, total odd days till Rohan’s birthday = 3 + 4 = 7 i.e. 0 odd days.
Hence, Rohan’s 25th birthday will fall on a Sunday.
Hence, option 3.

An Ant is at (2, 4) and wants to go to (9, 14) but in the process it has to carry food lying on the x-axis. Where should it touch the x-axis, so that it has to cover minimum distance in the entire journey?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 10

If we try to solve this problem by using distance formula, it will require a lot of calculations.
Let us approach this problem in a different way.

‘C’ is the mirror image of B(9, 14)

Now the path taken by the ant is APB, where P(x, 0).
We know that PE = PC

We can safely say that path taken by the ant is APC.
And we need to find minimum length of APC.
APC will be minimum if A, P, C lie on a same straight line,

i.e. AC = AP + PC

Equation of line AC is:

Q.‘Other nutrients’ in the body comprises minerals, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins in the ratio 2 : 4 : 1 : 3. What is the maximum possible difference (in stone) between the weight contributed by protein in skin and fats for a gymnast weighing 52 kg?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 12

Weight contributed by protein in skin = 0.08 x 0.15 x 52 = 0.624 kg

The difference between this value and the weight contributed by fat can be maximized when fat contributes the least to ‘other nutrients’.

 Weight contributed by fat = (1/10) x 0.15 x 52 = 0.78 kg

Maximum difference = 0.78 - 0.624 = 0.156 kg = (0.156/6.3) stone ~ 0.02 stone

Each student attempted all the questions. If the overall answer key of no two students was the same, what is the minimum number of students with a positive score?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 23

Each student attempted all the questions and no two students had the same answer key.
Since each question had 5 options, each question could have been answered in 5 different ways.
Since there were 5 such questions, total possible answer keys = 55 = 3125, which exceeds the number of students (i.e. 2500).
Hence, only 2500 of the possible 3125 answer keys will be used.
Minimum number of students getting a positive score = Total number of students - Maximum number of students who can get a zero or a negative score
Since every correct and incorrect answer gives +4 and -1 marks respectively, a student should answer 1 question correctly and 4 questions incorrectly to get a score of 0.
The question that is answered correctly can be selected in 5 different ways.
For any question that is answered incorrectly, the student can select one out of the four incorrect options in 4 different ways.
Since there are four questions answered incorrectly, total ways to get a score of0 = 5 x44 = 5 x 256= 1280 Hence, maximum number of students who can get a score of 0 = 1280

To get a negative score, a student should answer all the questions incorrectly.

As explained above, one question can be incorrectly answered in 4 ways.
Since all 5 questions are incorrectly answered, total ways to get a negative score = 45 = 1024. This is the maximum number of students who can get a negative score.
The minimum number of students getting a net positive score = 2500 - (1280+ 1024) = 196

Hence, option 2.

How many six-digit numbers are there such that the 3rd digit is the square of the 1st digit and the 4th digit is the square of the 2nd digit?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 25

Option (4).    1200 is the correct answer. 

Explanation:- 

We need to find the no. Which is of the form aba^2b^2cd ; where a,b,c and d can take any value from 0 to 9.

a and b cannot exceed 3 as the square of the two numbers then would exceed 9, which is not possible.

A can have 3 values ( 1,2 or 3) and b can have 4 values ( 0,1,2 or 3) c and d can have 10 values each. 

Thus the total count of numbers that satisfy the given conditions is :- 3*4*10*10 

=> 1200 es each.

Thus total count of numbers that satisfy the given conditions is 3 x 4 x 10 = 1200

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

The chart below shows the selling price (in Rs. 000s) of plywood, saw timber and logs. The price of logs is per cubic metre and while that of plywood and saw timber is per tonne. All prices are integral.

1 cubic metre of plywood = 1 cubic metre of saw timber = 800 kg 

 

Q.How many cubic metres of plywood would have to be sold in 2011 to yield the same revenue as generated from the sales of 220 tonnes of saw timber in 2014?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 26

Revenue generated from 220 tonnes of saw timber in 2014 = 220 x 19000 = Rs. 41.8 lakhs

Quantity of plywood sold (in tonnes) in 2011 to generate the same revenue = 4180000/5000 = 836
Since 800 kg of plywood corresponds to 1 cubic metre, (836 x 1000) kg of plywood corresponds to (836 x 1000)/800 cubic metre i.e. 1045 cubic metre

Hence, option 2.

The chart below shows the selling price (in Rs. 000s) of plywood, saw timber and logs. The price of logs is per cubic metre and while that of plywood and saw timber is per tonne. All prices are integral.

1 cubic metre of plywood = 1 cubic metre of saw timber = 800 kg 

 

Q.In which year is the total selling price of 1 cubic metre of each of the three products the least?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 27

For plywood and saw timber, 1 cubic metre = 800 kg = 0.8 tonne

If the selling price of 1 tonne of plywood or saw timber is Rs. jc, the selling price of 0.8 tonnes is Rs. (0.8x) For any year, total selling price per tonne = logs + 0.8(plywood) + 0.8(saw timber) = logs + 0.8(plywood + saw timber)

Since one of the options is ‘none of the above’, calculate the total selling price for each year.
By observation, all three products have their least selling price in 2008. Hence, the overall least selling price is also in 2008.
Hence, option 5.

1 cubic metre of plywood = 1 cubic metre of saw timber = 800 kg 

 

Q.In 2012, if plywood, saw timber and logs contributed to 20%, 30% and 50% of the total sales (by cubic metre), what was the average selling price (in Rs. 000s) per cubic metre?
Detailed Solution for NMAT Quantitative Skills MCQ Quiz - 1 - Question 29

Consider the solution to the earlier questions.
If selling price of plywood or saw timber = Rs. x per tonne, then selling price = Rs. (0.8x) per cubic metre.

In 2012, selling price per cubic metre (in 000s) for all three products is:

logs =18, plywood = 0.8 x 4 = 3.2 and saw timber = 0.8 x 13 = 10.4

Now, let 100 cubic metres be sold in all.
Total selling price = (20 x 3.2) + (30 x 10.4) + (50 x 18) = 64 + 312 + 900 = 1276
Average selling price (in Rs. 000s) per cubic metre = 1276/100 = 12.76  13

Hence, option 4.
