A shopkeeper professes to sell his articles at CP but gives only N grams in the place of 1000 gm. If his profit percentage is 100%, what is the value of N?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 8 - Question 9

B
(error÷1000-error)×100=1
0
(X/1000-x)×100= 100
100x = 100×(1000-x)

100x = 100000-100x

200x = 100000

X = 100000/200

X = 500

so error is 500 then N= 1000-500=500

How many cubes are there with at least 1 green face?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 8 - Question 11

There are 5 × 5 = 25 cubes on one face.
Now, there will be an edge comprising 5 cubes which shall be common to both the faces coloured green.
Thus, the number of cubes with at least one face green = (25 × 2) - 5 = 50 - 5 = 45.
Thus, answer option 4 is correct.

CAT Practice Test: Week 8 - Question 12

A cube is painted orange on two adjacent faces, white on two adjacent faces and green on the remaining faces. Now the cube is cut into 125 smaller cubes of equal size.

On the face, as shown in the figure, there are 9 cubes marked W1 with only one face coloured white. Similarly, there will be 9 cubes with only one face, each coloured white.
Now, on the edge common to both the faces coloured white, there shall be 3 cubes with two faces each coloured white as represented by W2.
Thus, total number of cubes = 9 × 2 + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21.
Hence, answer option 3 is correct.
