MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 8

Camp J is 20 km south of camp K. Camp L is 45 km north of camp M. Camp N is 10 km south of camp O. Camp K is 15 km west of camp L. Camp M is 40 km east of camp N. Camp O is 20 km east of camp P. What is the shortest distance between the camps J and M?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 8

Drawing the figure according to the given information:

           

Shortest distance between camp J and camp M = JM

Assume a point X on LM such that JX is parallel to KL and JX = KL 

Triangle JXM is a right angle triangle.

Applying Pythagoras theorem-

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

(JM)2 = (JX)2 + (XM)2

Now, JX = KL = 15 km 

And XM = LM - LX = 45 km - 20 km = 25 km

So, (JM)2 = 152 + 252

(JM)2 = 225 + 625 = 850

JM = 
So, is the correct answer.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 9

Direction : Two statements I and II are given. These statement may be either independent causes or may be effects of independent causes or a common cause. One of these statements may be the effect of the other statements. Read both the statements and decide which of the following answer choice correctly depicts the relationship between these two statements. Mark answer :

I. It is the aim of the city's civic authority to get the air pollution reduced by 20% in the next two month.

II. The number of asthma cases in the city is constantly increasing.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 9

According to the statements, 

The increase in number of asthma cases must have alerted the authorities to take action to control air pollution that triggers the diseases. Thus, statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 10

Direction: For the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) below, choose the correct alternative from the following.

Assertion (A): Soft water readily forms lather with soap.

Reason (R): Hard water does not contain minerals.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 11

If A is coded as 11 and BOOK is coded as 83, then how will SEAT be coded as?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 11

Given,

A = 11

BOOK = 83

The code of the letters/words is formed by first adding the position values of all the letters in the words and then adding the resultant to ten times the tens digit of the resultant (if the resultant has only one digit then unit digit in that case).

A(1) + 1 x 10 = 11

B(2) + O(15) + O(15) + K(11) = 43  (In this case the tens digit is 4.)

⇒ 43 + 4 x 10 = 43 + 40 = 83

Similarly,

S(19) + E(5) + A(1) + T(20) = 45 (In this case the tens digit is 4.)

 ⇒ 45 + 4 x 10 = 45 + 40 = 85

Thus, 85 is the code for the word SEAT.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 12

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 14

What is the frequency (%) in the class interval of 30 - 35 years?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 14

From the table,
Just count the number of people who have age in between 30 - 35 years = 7
frequency (%) = 7/20 x 100 = 35%

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 15

How many students play Kabaddi?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 15

From the paragraph,

Total no. of students in class = 320

The ratio of girls to boys = 7 : 9

So, the no. of boys = 320 × 9/16 = 180

Then, the no. of girls = 320 – 180 = 140

25% of the boys play golf, handball and kabaddi only.

So, the no. of boys play golf, handball and kabaddi only = 180 × 25/100 = 45

10% of the boys play kabaddi and wrestling only.

So, the no. of boys play kabaddi and wrestling only = 180 × 10/100 = 18

The ratio of number of girls to boys playing kabaddi and wrestling only is 5 : 3, respectively.

Then, the no. of girls play kabaddi and wrestling only = 18 × 5/3 = 30

∴ The no. of students play kabaddi = 45 + 18 + 30 = 93

Hence, the correct option is (C).

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 16

Direction: Read the following statements and find out whether they are sufficient or not to answer the given question.
What is the rate of simple interest?
I. The amount was invested for 8 years.
II. The simple interest is half the investment.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 16

Given:}
Time = 8 years
Formula used: Simple interest
 
Statement I:
Time = 8 years
Statement II:
Let the principal = X then simple interest = X/2

From statement I and II:


From statement I and II we can find the value of rate of interest.
∴ Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 17

Direction: Each of the questions below consists of a question and three statements numbered I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements and give answer:

A metal block of density ‘D’ and mass ‘M’, in the form of a cuboid, is beaten into a thin square sheet of thickness ‘t’, and rolled to form a cylinder of the same thickness. Find the inner radius of the cylinder –

Statement I: Cuboid has dimensions 10cm × 5 cm × 12 cm

Statement II: Thickness ‘t’ = 1.5cm 

Statement III: Mass of block, M = 216kg

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 17

If we have the dimensions, from Statement I,

Volume of cuboid = 10 × 5 × 12 = 600 cm3

If thickness is ' t ' and let side of square sheet be S, then,

600 = (S2) × (t)

If t = 1.5 cm is taken from Statement II,

600/1.5 = (S2) = 400

⇒ S = 20 cm

Height of cylinder = S = 20 cm [As square sheet is rolled so the side of the cylinder will be equal to side of square]

Outer circumference = S = 20 cm = 2πr 

Or, r = 10/π ≈ 3.185 

Thickness taken, t = 1.5 cm

So inner radius = 3.185 - 1.5 = 1.685 cm

Whereas Statement III has no significance anywhere.

But none of the statement alone can answer the question individually.

So, answer is using statement I and II together is sufficient

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 18

Two pipes can fill a tank in 12 hours and 15 hours respectively. If both the pipes are opened for 4 hours then first pipe is closed then find the time taken by the second pipe to fill the remaining tank.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 18

Given,

Two pipes can fill a tank in 12 hours and 15 hours respectively.

Total work = Time × Efficiency

Suppose total capacity of tank = 60 units (LCM of 12 and 15)

So, efficiency of first pipe = 60/12 = 5 units

Efficiency of second pipe = 60/15 = 4 units

So, tank filled in 4 hours = (5 + 4) × 4 = 36 units

Remaining tank to be filled = 60 – 36 = 24 units

So, the remaining 24 units of work will be filled by the second pipe in 24/4 = 6 hours.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 19

A sold a horse to B for Rs. 3600 by losing 10%. B sold it to C at a price which would have given A a profit of 12%. B's gain is:

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 19

Given,
For A,
Cost price of horse = (3600 X 100/90) = Rs. 4000
For B,
Selling price of horse = Rs. (4000 X 112/100) = Rs. 4480
B's profit  = 4480 - 3600 Rs. 880

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 20

In an examination, 20% of the total number of students failed in English, 15% of the total number of students failed in Maths, and 5% of the total number of students failed in both. What is the percentage of students who passed in both the subjects?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 20

Given:

Total number of students failed in English (x) = 20%

Total number of students failed in Maths (y) = 15%

Total number of students failed in both (z) = 5%

Formula Used:

Percentage of students passed in both = [100 – (x + y – z)]

According to the formula:

∴ Percentage of students passed in both = [100 – (x + y – z)]

= [100 – (20 + 15 – 5)]

= [100 – 30]

= 70%

∴ 70% students passed in both subjects.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 21

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 22

The market price of a cooler is Rs. 1600. The shopkeeper allows a discount of 10% and gains 20%. Find the cost price of the cooler.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 22

Given,

Market price of cooler = 1600 

Profit % = 20%, Discount = 10%

As we know,

Profit 

Selling price = 90% of 1600 = Rs. 1440

Profit % = 20% = 1/5 

Let, the cost price be Rs. x.

⇒ 20x = 144000 - 100x

⇒ 120x = 144000

⇒ x = 1200

∴ Cost price of the cooler is Rs. 1200.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 23

The equation 2x2 – 3y2 – 6 = 0 represents:

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 23

Given: 2x2 – 3y2 – 6 = 0

Now by dividing the given equation by 6 on both the sides, we get

As we know that, the equation of a hyperbola with the centre at origin and foci on x-+axis is given by: 

Therefore, the given equation represents a hyperbola.

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 24

Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 5 and 6 hrs respectively. Pipe C can empty it in 12 hrs. If all the three pipes are opened together, then the tank will be filled in:

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 24

Given:

Time taken by pipe A to fill the tank = 5 hours 

Time taken by pipe B to fill the tank = 6 hours 

Time taken by Pipe C to empty the tank = 12 hours

Let the quantity of water to be filled = p 

Quantity of water A fills in one hour = p/5

Quantity of water B fills in one hour = p/6 

Quantity of water C empties in one hour = p/12 

So, part of p filled in one hour = p/5 + p/6 - p/12 = 17p/60

∴ p can be filled in = 60/17 hours =  hours

MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 26

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

1. Eutrophication is the natural ageing of a lake by nutrient enrichment of its water.

2. The prime contaminants are nitrates and phosphates, which act as plant nutrients.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 2 - Question 26

Eutrophication is the natural ageing of a lake by nutrient enrichment of its water. Therefore, statement 1 is correct.

  • In a young lake, the water is cold and clear, supporting little life.
  • With time, streams draining into the lake introduce nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which encourage the growth of aquatic organisms.
  • As the lake’s fertility increases, plant and animal life burgeons, and organic remains begin to be deposited on the lake bottom.
  • Over the centuries, as silt and organic debris pile up, the lake grows shallower and warmer, with warm-water organisms supplanting those that thrive in a cold environment.

The prime contaminants are nitrates and phosphates, which act as plant nutrients. Therefore statement 2 is correct.

They overstimulate the growth of algae, causing unsightly scum and unpleasant odours, and robbing the water of dissolved oxygen vital to other aquatic life.
