What can we infer from the author's use of the word "Reform" in the first line of the third paragraph?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 5

The correct answer is to assert that the reform in the United States has not been fundamental.

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 15

Find the difference between the maximum score and the minimum score obtained by Class A and Class B respectively.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 15

Given,

Maximum Score obtained by Class A = 60.

Minimum Score obtained by Class B = 55.

Difference = 60 – 55 = 5

∴ The difference between the maximum score and the minimum score obtained by Class A and Class B respectively is 5.

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 16

What is the approximate difference between the percentage of students admitted to a discipline in respective colleges showing the lowest admission to B.Sc. and the highest admission in B.A.?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 16

Lowest admission in BSc was in college IV i.e., 290 out of total 400 seats.

⇒ The percentage of students admitted in BSc. = × 100 ≈ 72%

Highest admission in B.A was in college I i.e., 486 out of total 500 seats.

⇒ The percentage of students admitted in B.A. = × 100 ≈ 97%

∴ Approximate difference = 97 - 72 = 25%

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 17

Direction: Given below are two quantities named A and B. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. 

Quantity A: The speed of a cycle decreases by 3 km/hr after every one hour. If the distance traveled in the first one hour was 10 km then the total distance traveled in 4 hours is –

Quantity B: A cycle can travel at an average speed of 6 km/hr, and complete the journey on time. If the average speed of the cycle becomes 4 km/hr then it completes the journey 12 minutes late. Find the distance of the journey.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 17

Quantity A:

Total distance travelled by cycle in 4 hours is –

Distance covered by cycle in the first hour = 10 km

Distance travelled in second hour = 7 km

Distance travelled in third hour = 4 km

Distance travelled in forth hour = 1 km

Total distance covered by cycle in 4 hours = 10 + 7 + 4 + 1 = 22

Total distance travelled by cycle in 4 hours is 22 km.

Quantity B:

Difference between the time travelled by cycle = 12 min =  h  h

Let the length of journey be a km.

Then,

Total journey is 2.4 kms.
From above solution,
Relation between Quantity A > Quantity B is established.

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 18

Direction: In the following question, two statements are numbered as I and II. On solving these statements, we get quantities I and II respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option.

a,b, c, and d are four positive numbers. The average of a, b and c is 7, and the average of b, c, and d is 10. If a is 4 and c is 10.

Quantity I: Find the sum of b and d.

Quantity II: Find the sum of a and c.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 18

Given:

= 7

⇒ 4 + b + 10 = 21

⇒ b = 21 – 14 = 7

= 10

⇒ 7 + 10 + d = 30

⇒ d = 30 – 17

⇒ d = 13

Quantity I: (b + d) = 7 + 13

= 20

Quantity II: (a + c) = 4 + 10

= 14

∴ Quantity I ˃ Quantity II.

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 19

Direction: Read the following statements and find out whether they are sufficient or not to answer the given question.

Find average speed of entire journey.

I) A train travel at 20 km/hr for first two hours. Then it travels at 40 km/hr for the next 9/5 hours. Then train completed 8/11 part of its journey.

II) Train completed the remaining journey in next 6/5 hours.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 19

Formula used: 

Speed

Average speed

Statement I:

Distance covered in first two hours = 20 x 2 = 40 km

Distance covered in next  hours  km

So, 8/11 part of its journey = 72 km 

Total Distance  km

∴ The statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II:

Remaining time = 6/5 hours

Total time and total distance we get. 

∴ Statement II alone is not sufficient. 

∴ Statement I and Statement II together are sufficient, but neither of the two alone is sufficient to answer the question. 

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 20

Direction: Question below contains a statement followed by Quantity I, Quantity II and Quantity III. You have to study the information along with the question and compare the value derived from Quantity I, Quantity II and Quantity III.

Quantity I: The difference between present ages of Dheeru and Chandan is 4 years and the average of present ages of Bablu and Dheeru is 30 years. If Amit is 48 years older to Bablu and Dheeru is 36 years younger to Bablu, then what is the average of the present ages of Amit and Bablu?

Quantity II:  The ratio of present ages of K, L and M is 18 : 14 : 13, respectively, then difference between the present ages of K and M is 25 years.  What is the average of the ages of K, L and M,

Quantity III: 70 Years

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 20

Quantity I:

Let the present ages of Amit, Bablu, Chandan and Dheeru be A, B, C and D respectively.

According to the given information,

C – D = 4     ---- (1)

⇒ B + D = 60      ---- (2)

A – B = 48       ---- (3)

B – D = 36      ---- (4)

Adding equation (2) and (4)

2B = 96

⇒ B = 48

Putting the value of B in Equation (3) we get

A = 96

Now,

So, the average of the present ages of Amit and Bablu is 72 years

Quantity II:

According to the given information,

∵ K : L : M = 18 : 14 : 13

Let the ages be 18x, 14x, and 13x respectively.

∵ K -  M = 25

⇒ 18x -  13x = 25

⇒ 5x = 25

⇒ x = 5

So, the present ages are:

K = 18x = 18 × 5 = 90 years; 

L = 14x = 14 × 5 = 70 years, 

M = 13x = 13 × 5 = 65 years

Average

= 75 Years

Therefore, Quantity II > Quantity I > Quantity III

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 21

Direction: Given below are two quantities named A and B. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities.

Quantity I: The difference between the Salaries of A and B is Rs. 5000. The expenditure of A and B is 85% and 70% of their respective salaries. Total savings of A and B is Rs. 5250. Find the average expenditure of A and B.

Quantity II: Rs. 9860

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 21

Quantity I:

Let the salary of A and B be Rs.A and Rs.B respectively.

⇒ A – B = 5000

⇒ A + 2B = 35000

Solving,

A = Rs. 15000 and B = Rs. 10000

Average expenditure of A and B =

= Rs. 9875

Quantity II: Rs. 9860

So, we can observe Quantity I > Quantity II.

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 22

If the length and height of a cuboid of volume 480 cm3 is 12 cm and 5 cm respectively, then what is the relation between the length and breadth of the cuboid?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 22

The volume of cuboid = length x breadth x height
⇒ 480 = 12 breadth x 5
⇒ Breadth = 480/60 = 8 cm
Now,

2 (length)=3 (breadth)

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 23

Tap A can fill a tank in 7 hours. After (1/7)th of the tank is filled, two more similar taps are opened. Find the total time taken by pipes to fill the tank completely.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 23

Given:

Tap A and 2 others tap fill a tank alone = 7 hours

Calculation:

Total capacity of a tank = 7 units

Tank is filled by tap A in 1 hour = 1 units

(1/7) th of a tank is filled by tap A = 7 × 1/7

⇒ 1 units

Remaining tank to be filled by 3 pipes = 7 units – 1 units

⇒ 6 units

Tank filled by 3 pipes in 1 hour = 3 units

Tank filled in 3 pipes in 2 hours = 6 units

∴ Total time is 3 hours required to fill a tank completely.

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 24
Speeds of a boat along the current and against the current are 12 km/hr and 6 km/hr respectively. What is the speed (in km/hr) of the current?
Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 24

Given,

Speed downstream = 12km/hr

Speed upstream = 6km/hr

Speed of the current 

= × (speed downstream - speed upstream)

Speed of the current 

=

∴ Speed of the current is 3km/hr.

MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 25

A person bought 15 pens at Rs. 10 each and sold 5 of them at Rs. 8 and the other 7 at Rs. 12 and the remaining at Rs. 16. What is the profit/loss percentage?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 25

Total cost price = 15 x 10 = 150 
Total selling price = 5 × 8 + 12 × 7 + 3 × 16
= 40 + 84 + 48 = 172


= 14.66%
