MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 16

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

Veer has a monthly income of Rs. 60000 out of which every month he saves some amount. He distributes some amount of money among his three sister and one brother. Out of remaining amount of his income, he spends 40% on other things and rest of the amount is saved by him.

Veer saves what percent of his salary on every month?

Statement I: Veer’s other expenditure is Rs. 20000.

Statement II: Each sister receive Rs. 4000 and brother receive Rs. 5000.

Statement III: Veer saves Rs. 15000 more than the amount received by his one sister.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 16

Statement I:

Other expenditure = Rs. 20000

Savings Rs. 30000

 Percentage

Thus, this statement is alone sufficient to give the answer.

Statement II:

Share of three sister = 3 x 4000 = Rs. 12000

Share of brother = Rs. 5000

Savings = 60% of (60000 - 12000 - 5000) = Rs. 25800

Percentage

Thus, this statement is alone sufficient to give the answer.

Statement III:

Savings = 15000 + share of each sister

60000 = share of three sister + share of brother + other

expenditure + 15000 + share of each sister

45000 = 4 x share of each sister + share of brother + other expenditure

Given data is not sufficient to determine the answer.

Thus, this statement is not sufficient alone.

On putting the values of  and ,

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 19

The total cost of a chair and table is Rs. 600 and the ratio of cost of one chair and table is 7 : 5. Find the cost of chair.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 19

Given, cost of a chair and table is Rs. 600 and the ratio of cost of one chair and table is 7 : 5. 
Let the cost of one chair be a and one table be b. 
∴ a/b = 7/5
⇒ a = 7b/5
Now, a + b = 600 
⇒ (7b/5 + b) = 600
⇒ 12b = 3000
⇒ b = Rs. 250
∴ a =  Rs. 350

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 20

A is 30% more efficient than B and C is 20% more efficient than B. Working together, they can finish a work in 5 days. In how many days will A alone complete 3/5th of the total work?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 20

Given,

A is 30% more efficient than B.

C is 20% more efficient than B.

Total Work = Efficiency x Time

Let the efficiency of B be 100.

Efficiency ratio,

A : B = 130 : 100

B : C = 100 : 120

From equation (1) and (2), we get,

A : B : C = 130 : 100 : 120

A : B : C = 13 : 10 : 12

Total Work = Efficiency x Time

Total Work = (13 + 10 + 12) x 5 = 35 x 5 = 175 

Time

Time

Time A = 105/13 day

∴ 'A' alone complete 3/5 th of the total work in 105/13 days.

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 21

The cost price and the marked price of an item are Rs. 720 and Rs. 900 respectively. When it is sold at a discount of x%, the profit is . What is the value of x?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 21

Given,
Cost Price = Rs. 720
Marked Price = Rs. 900
Concept used:


Calculation:
According to the question,


⇒ 900 × (100 - x) = 720 × (100 + 5x/3)
⇒ 90000 - 900x = 72000 + 1200x
⇒ 90000 - 900x = 72000 + 1200x
⇒ 2100x = 18000
⇒ x = 18000/2100
⇒ x = 60/7

∴ The vale of x is .

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 22

Heena and Karan together complete a work in 12 days, if Heena works alone, she completes it in 18 days. Karan alone can complete it in how many days? 

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 22

Given:

Number of days taken, if Heena and Karan work together = 12 days

Heena alone completes the work in 18 days.

Let the number of days taken by Karan to complete work be x.

Work done in 1 days by Heena = (1/18) 

Work done in 1 day by Karan = (1/x)

Work done in 1 day when both work together = (1/12) 

According to question:

⇒ 

⇒ x = 36 days

∴ Karan completes the work in 36 days.

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 23

The sum of all the solutions of the equation cos x. cos(π/3 + x).cos(π/3 - x) = 1/4, x ∈ [0, 6π] is:

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 23

Given: cos x ⋅ cos x(π/3 + x) ⋅ cos(π/3 - x) = 1/4, x ∈ [0, 6π]
4 × [cos x ⋅ cos(π/3 + x) ⋅ cos(π/3 - x)] = 1
2 cos x [2 cos(π/3 + x) ⋅ cos(π/3 - x)] = 1
or, 2 cos x [cos(π/3 + x + π/3 - x) + cos(π/3 + x - π/3 + x)] = 1
or, 2 cos x [cos 2π/3 + cos 2x] = 1
or, 2 cos x [-1/2 + cos 2x] = 1
or, - cos x + cos 3x + cos x = 1
or, cos 3x = 1 = cos 0
or, 3x = 2nπ ± 0 where n = 0, 1, 2, 3......
or, x = 2nπ/3
x = 2π/3, 4π/3, 6π/3, 8π/3, 10π/3, 12π/3, 14π/3, 16π/3, 18π/3
Sum of all values = 2π[1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9]/3
= 2π×45/3
= 30π

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 27
The number of neutrons inside the nucleus of the element Uranium 235 is-
Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 27

Uranium-235 has 92 protons, so the proton number of 235U is 92. It has 92 protons plus 143 neutrons inside its nucleus, so it's total nucleon number is 235.

Uranium-235 (235U) is an isotope of Uranium forming up about 0.72 percent of natural Uranium. Unlike that of predominant isotope Uranium238, it is much fissile, i.e., it may sustain a fission chain reaction. This is the only fissile isotope that is primordial and is found in relatively sufficient quantities in nature. Uranium-235 possesses a half-life of 703.8 million years. It was first discovered in 1935 by Arthur Jeffrey Dempster. Its fission cross-section for slow thermal neutrons is almost about 584.994 barns. For quick neutrons, it is on the order of 1 barn. Mostly but not all neutron absorptions result in fission; a minority even results in neutron capture making uranium-236.

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 28
Which one of the following is NOT an electromagnetic wave?
Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 28

Sound waves are examples of the mechanical waves, while the light waves, Radio waves, and Microwaves are examples of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are formed by the vibration of an electric charge. This vibration makes a wave that has both an electric and also a magnetic component. Sound waves are the longitudinal waves that require a medium to travel, and it can't travel through the vacuum. Light generally refers to the visible light, which is electromagnetic radiation that is seen to the human eye and is even responsible for the sense of sight.

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 29

Electron affinity of noble gases is-

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 29

Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion.

Electron affinity of noble gases is almost zero. Noble gases have completely filled valence shells and stable octets. They do not accept electrons easily as they have no deficiency, also adding electrons produces repulsion between the electrons.

MAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 30

According to Passport Affordability Rankings, which country's passport is the most affordable?
