CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 1

A group of friends have some money which was in an increasing GP. The total money with the first and the last friend was Rs 66 and the product of the money that the second friend had and that the last but one friend had was Rs 128. If the total money with all of them together was Rs 126, then how many friends were there?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 1

The sum of money with the first and the last friend = 66. This can be used as a hint. Let us assume the first friend was having Rs 2 and the last friend was having Rs 64. So, the money can be in the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. It satisfies the given conditions. Alternatively, this can be done by using the formula for tn of GP also.

CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 3

A GP consists of 1000 terms. The sum of the terms occupying the odd places is Pj and the sum of the terms occupying the even places is P2. Find the common ratio of this GP.

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

Take any small sample of 4 terms of any GP viz. 1, 2, 4 and 8. Its common ratio = 2 = (8+2)/(1 +4) And this will be true for any number of terms as long as we are taking total number of terms as even(in this question, it is given as 1000). However, if the total number of terms is given as odd, we cannot find the common ratio in this way, because the number of odd terms ≠ number of even terms.

CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 4

 If the roots of x3 - 12x2 + 39x - 28 = 0 are in an AP then their common difference is

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 4

Factorize the equation and we get ( x - 1 ) ( x - 4 ) ( x - 7 )

CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 5

If the nth term of AP is m and the nth term of the same AP is m, then (m + n)th term of AP is

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 5
  • Tn = m = a + (n - l ) d
  • Tm = n= a + (m - l ) d
  • subtracting them we get d=-1
  • and a=m+n-1
  • Add the two and solve through the options given.
  • then (m + n)th term of AP= a+(m+n-1)d
  • Putting values of a and d in the solution, we get
  •                                         =  m+n-1+(m+n-1)x-1
  •                                         = 0
CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 6

If a, b and c are positive integers, then find the product of (a + b) (b + c) (c + a).

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 6

Put a= l, b = 2 c = 3 and check through options.

CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 7

The mid-points of the adjacent sides of a square are joined. Again the mid-points of the adjacent sides of the newly formed figure are connected and this process is repeated again and again. Calculate the sum of the areas of all such figures given that the diagonal of outermost square is 6√2cm.

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 7

The side of the outermost square is 6 cm. Area of the square one in G.P with first term 36 and common ratio = 1/2

CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 8

There are three numbers in arithmetic progression. If the two larger numbers are both increased by one, then the resulting numbers are prime. The product of these two primes and the smallest of the original numbers is 598. Find the sum of the three numbers.

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 8

Let three numbers are 2,12,22
Two larger numbers are increased by 1 : 13,23
New three numbers : 2,13,23
Product of these numbers is equal to 598.
=> 2*13*23 = 598
Sum of the three numbers = 2+13+23 
= 36

I. 20, 19, 17, 14, x1 and II. 20, 16, 13, 11, x2

The pattern in I is - 1, - 2, - 3,......So, missing term, x1 = 14 - 4 = 10.

The pattern in II is - 4, - 3, - 2,......So, missing term, x2 = 11 - 1 = 10.

CAT Practice Test: Week 3 - Question 19
