Q. What was the weight of Tinu?

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

According to the question:
Ranking of weights: Tilu > Tipu > Tinu > Minu > Chinu
Sum total of weights: Tilu + Tipu = 101 kg
Sum total of weights: Minu + Chinu = 90 kg
Also, according to the question:
4(Tilu + Tipu + Tinu + Minu + Chinu) = 90 + 92 + 93 + 94 + 95 + 96 + 97 + 98 + 100 + 101
4(101 + Tinu + 90) = 956
Tinu = (956/4) - (101 + 90) = 48
Weight of Tinu = 48 kg

5. The total number of balls with any two of the given 5 boys is non-prime.
6. Varun had more red balls than twice the number of balls with Karun.
7. Karun had less red balls than balls with Bhim, while Varun had more red balls than balls with Arun.
8. The number of red balls with Bhim was less than one third of the number of red balls with Shina.

Q. What was the total sum of red balls with Bhim and Varun?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 12 - Question 14

Since the number of balls with each boy had exactly 2 factors, none of the boys had more than 28 balls and no two boys had same number of balls, so we have 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23 as options.
Since the total number of red balls with all five boys is divisible by 2, so one of them has 2 red balls.
Also, the total number of balls with any two of the given 5 boys is non-prime.
Now,
2 + 3 = 5 (Prime)
2 + 5 = 7 (Prime)
2 + 11 = 13 (Prime)
2 + 17 = 19 (Prime)
So, no boy had 3, 5, 11 and 17 balls.
Now, we have 2, 7, 13, 19 and 23 as options.
Now, the following is given.
Varun had more red balls than twice the balls with Karun.
The number of red balls with Bhim was less than one third the number of red balls with Shina.
Karun had less red balls than balls with Bhim.
The only condition which satisfies all the above conditions is Karun and Bhim having 2 and 7 balls.
So, Shina had 23 balls and since Varun had more balls than balls with Arun, so both of them have 19 and 13 balls each.

2. In 1985-86, the ratio of % of exports of raw material to that of exports of manufactured articles is 3 : 4.
3. Exports of food in 1985-86 exceeds the 1984-85 figure by Rs. 1006 crore.

Percentage of Total Value of Exports in India

Q. The change in value of exports of manufactured articles from 1984-85 to 1985-86 is

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 12 - Question 18

Value of food exports in 1985-86 = 0.23 × Rs. 25,800 crore = Rs. 5934 crore
Let the value of exports of raw material be 3y and that of manufactured articles be 4y.
So, 7y + Rs. 5934 crore = Rs. 25,800 crore
Or, y = Rs. 2838 crore
Thus, value of exports of manufactured articles in 1985-86 = 4 × Rs. 2838 crore = Rs. 11,352 crore
Value of food exports in 1984-85 = Rs. 5934 crore - Rs. 1006 crore = Rs. 4928 crore
Now, let the value of raw material exports in 1984-85 be z.
Thus, value of exports of manufactured articles in 1984-1985 be 2z.
Now, Rs. 4928 crore + 3z = Rs. 22,400 crore
Or, z = Rs. 5824 crore
Value of exports of manufactured articles in 1984-85 = 2z = 2 × Rs. 5824 crore = Rs. 11,648 crore
Thus, required value = Rs. (11648 - 11352) crore = Rs. 296 crore
Hence, option 1 is correct.

CAT Practice Test: Week 12 - Question 19

Directions: The question is based on the following table and information.

1. In 1984-85, the value of exports of manufactured articles exceeds the value of exports of raw materials by 100%.
2. In 1985-86, the ratio of % of exports of raw material to that of exports of manufactured articles is 3 : 4.
3. Exports of food in 1985-86 exceeds the 1984-85 figure by Rs. 1006 crore.

Percentage of Total Value of Exports in India

Q. During 1984-85, how much more raw material was exported as compared to food in terms of value?

Detailed Solution for CAT Practice Test: Week 12 - Question 19

Food related exports in (1984-85) = food related exports in (1985-86) - Rs. 1006 crore = Rs. 0.23 × 25,800 crore - Rs. 1006 crore = Rs. 4928 crore
In 1984-85, exports of raw materials + exports of manufactured goods = Rs. (22400 - 4928) crore = Rs. 17,472 crore
And exports in manufactured goods = 2 × (exports of raw materials)
Exports of raw materials in 1984-85 = Rs. (17472/3) crore = Rs. 5824 crore
Difference between exports of raw materials and food exports = Rs. (5824 - 4928) crore = Rs. 896 crore
Hence, option (2) is correct.
