MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 14

Direction: Given below are two quantities named I and II. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose among the possible answers.

Quantity I: 6 kmph

Quantity II: A boat sails in still water at 5.5 km/h, but takes thrice as long to sail upstream than downstream. Find the speed of the stream.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 14

Quantity I: 6 kmph

Quantity II:

Speed of boat = 5.5 km/h

Let the speed of the stream be x km/h

⇒ Downstream speed = (5.5 + x)

⇒ Upstream speed = (5.5 – x)

According to the question,

(5.5 + x) = 3 × (5.5 – x)

⇒ 5.5 + x = 16.5 – 3x

⇒ 5.5 – 16.5 = -3x – x

⇒ 11 = 4x

⇒ x = 2.75

Speed of stream = 2.75 kmph

∴ Quantity I ˃ Quantity II

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 15

Direction: The following question is accompanied by two statements I and II. You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the questions.

Find the time taken by 8 men, 4 women and 6 kids together to complete the piece of work.

Statement I: 6 men and 4 women together can complete the work in 12 days and 1 man and 8 women together can complete the work in 17 days.

Statement II: The ratio of efficiencies of a woman and a kid is 5 : 2.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 15

Statement I:

6 men and 4 women together can complete the work in 12 days and 1 man and 8 women together can complete the work in 17 days.

Suppose the efficiencies of man and woman are ‘m’ and ‘w’ respectively.

So,

(6 × m + 4 × w) × 12 = (1 × m + 8 × w) × 17

⇒ 72m + 48w = 17m + 136w

⇒ 55m = 88w

⇒ m : w = 8 : 5

So, ratio of efficiencies of a man and a woman = 8 : 5

Combining statement II:

Ratio of efficiencies of a woman and a kid = 5 : 2

Ratio of efficiencies of a man, a woman and a kid = 8 : 5 : 2

Suppose the work done by men, women and kid be 8x, 5x and 2x respectively

Now,

Suppose the time taken by 8 men, 4 women and 6 kids together is T days

(6 × 8x + 4 × 5x) × 12 = (8 × 8x + 4 × 5x + 6 × 2x) × T

⇒ (48x + 20x) × 12 = (64x + 20x + 12x) × T

⇒ 68x × 12 = 96x × T

⇒ T = 8.5

Time taken by 8 men, 4 women and 6 kids together = 8.5 days

∴ Statements I and II together are required to answer the question.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 16

House R uses electricity in only two types of appliance i.e., food and electronic, the ratio of the number of units of electricity consumed by food appliances to the electronic appliance in the month of June is 2 : 3, while the ratio of the units of electricity consumed by food appliance to electronic appliance in the month of July is 3 : 2. Find the total number of units of electricity consumed by food appliance in house R in both the month together. 

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 16

The number of units of electricity consumed by house R in June = 320

The ratio of the number of units of electricity consumed by food appliances to an electronic appliance in the month of June = 2 : 3

The  number of units of electricity consumed by food appliances in the month of June 

The number of units of electricity consumed by house R in July = 550

The ratio of the units of electricity consumed by food appliances to electronic appliances in the month of July = 3 : 2

The  number of units of electricity consumed by food appliances in the month of July 

The total number of units of electricity consumed by food appliances in house R = 128 + 330 = 458

∴ The total number of units of electricity consumed by food appliances in house R is 458 units.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 17

In house S, the number of units of electricity used in the month of August is the average of the number of units of electricity used in the month of June and July. The initial 150 units of electricity used in August is charged at the rate of Rs. 3 per unit and the remaining units are charged at the rate of Rs. x per unit. If the total bill paid in August is Rs. 1745, then find the value of x.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 17

The number of units of electricity consumed by house S in June = 250 

The number of units of electricity consumed by house S in July = 420 

The number of units of electricity used in the month of August is the average of the number of units of electricity used in the month of June and July.

The number of units electricity consumed by house S in August  units

The initial 150 units of electricity used in August is charged at the rate of Rs. 3 per unit.

The remaining units are charged at the rate of Rs. x per unit.

The total bill paid in August = Rs. 1745
∴ 150 × 3 + ( 335 − 150 ) × x = 1745
⇒ 450 + 185 x = 1745
⇒ 185 x = 1295
⇒ x = 7
∴ The value of x is Rs. 7.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 18

Calculate total profit or loss earned in October 2020 and December 2020. 

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 18

Given:

Excavation cost of coal per kg:

October 2020 = Rs 5 per kg

December 2020 = Rs 6 per kg

Cost of coal Rs per kg:

October 2020 = Rs 14 per kg

December 2020 = Rs 16 per kg

Selling price of coal Rs per kg:

October 2020 = Rs 47 per kg

December 2020 = Rs 52 per kg

Coal manufactured:

October 2020 = 2500 kg

December 2020 = 4500 kg

Coal purchased:

October 2020 = 3000 kg

December 2020 = 3600 kg

Total cost in October 2020 = 2500 × (5 + 14)

⇒ Total cost in October 2020 = Rs 47,500

Total selling price in October 2020 = 47 × 2500

⇒ Total S.P. in October 2020 = 117500

Profit = 117500 - 47500

⇒ Profit = Rs 70,000

Total cost in December 2020 = 4500 × (16 + 6)

⇒ Total cost in December 2020 = 99,000

Total selling price in December 2020 = 3600 × 52

⇒ Total selling price in December 2020 = 187,200

Profit = 187,200 – 99,000

⇒ Profit = Rs 88,200

Total profit is 70,000 + 88,200

∴ Total profit is Rs 158,200.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 19

Direction: In the following question, three statements are given. You have to find which is/are necessary and sufficient to answer the following question.

An amount was distributed among Anirudh, Aravind, and aditya. what is the share of Adhitya in total amount.

I. The ratio of the shares of Anirudh and Aravind in the amount is 15 : 19

II. The ratio of shares of Aravind and Aditya in the amount  is 8 : 15

III. The difference between the shares of Aditya and Anirudh in the amount is Rs. 6,600.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 19

From the above, we don't know the total amount 

From I ratio of Anirudh and Aravind = 15 : 19

From II ratio of Aravind and Aditya  = 8 : 15 

From the above two statements 

The ratio of Anirudh, Aravind, and Aditya = 120 : 152 : 285

From III the difference between Aditya and Anirudh = 6,600

⇒ 285x - 120x = 6,600

⇒ 165x = 6,600

⇒  x = 40

Then aditya total amount = 40 × 285 = 11,400

∴ We require all statements.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 20

Direction: In the following question, three statements are given. You have to find which is/are necessary and sufficient to answer the following question.

Find the ratio of speeds of the lion, dog, and fox.

Statement I∶ For every 10 jumps of the lion, the dog takes 7 jumps and the fox takes 12 jumps.

Statement II∶ The lion, the dog, and the fox cover distances of 4 m, 12 m, and 3 m respectively in one jump.

Statement III∶ The distance covered by the dog in 5 jumps, the distance covered by the lion in 15 jumps, and the distance covered by the fox in 20 jumps are equal.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 20

Statement II∶

The lion, dog and fox cover distances of 4 m, 12 m, and 3 m respectively in 1 jump.

Statement III∶

Given that the distance covered by the dog in 5 jumps, distance covered by the lion in 15 jumps and distance covered by fox in 20 jumps are equal;

Suppose the distance covered by all three is 60 m (LCM of 5, 15 and 20)

∴ Distance covered by lion in one jump = 60/15 = 4 m

Distance covered by dog in 1 jump = 60/5 = 12 m

Distance covered by fox in 1 jump = 60/20 = 3 m

Here, we can see that statement II and III give the same information.

∴ Combining either statement II or III with the statement I, we can get the answer.

∴ Either statement II or statement III and statement I together are sufficient to answer the question.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 21

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

What is the ratio of the age of A to that B?

I. Sum of the age of A, B and C is 15. C is the eldest whereas A is the youngest. Age of A is more than 3 years. No two of three are of the same age.

II. Difference between the age of B and C is 2. Sum of age of A and C is 12

III. Different between age of A and D is equal to the different between the ages of D and C.

Age of D is 30. Age of A > D > B.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 21

From I:

Let the age of A, B and C be a, b, and c respectively.

a + b + c = 15

c > b > a and a > 3

If a = 4, b = 5 and c = 6, the sum of the age of A, B and C is 15. No other case is possible,

So, the ratio of age of A and B will be 4 : 5.

So statement I alone is sufficient.

From II:

Let the age of A, B and C be a, b, and c respectively.

b – c = 2 and a + c = 12

b – c + a + c = 2 + 12

⇒ b + a = 14

But we cannot determine the ratio of age of A and B.

So, Statement II alone is not sufficient.

From III:

Let the age of A, B and D be a, b, and d respectively.

a – d = d - c

⇒ a + c = 2d

⇒ a + c = 2 × 30

⇒ a + c = 30

But we cannot determine the ratio of age of A and B.

Thus, statement III alone is not sufficient.

∴ Only statement I alone is sufficient.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 22

A pipe can fill a tank with water in 20 hours but due to leakage at the tank in it's bottom, it takes 40 hours to fill the tank. In what time the leakage will empty the fully filled tank.

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 22

Given,

Tank filled in 20 hours

Tank filled in 40 hours due to leakage.

Let the tank empty in x hours due to leakage.

Tank filled in 1 hour without leakage = (1/20)
Tank empty in 1 hour = (1/x)
Tank filled in 1 hour with leakage = 1/40
According to question
Tank filled in 1 hour with leakage = Tank filled in 1 hour - Tank empty in 1 hour due to leakage

∴ The tank will empty in 40 hours.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 23

A 145 m long train crosses a 655 m long bridge in 36 seconds. What is the speed of the train?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 23

Total distance covered by train = Length of bridge + length of train = 655 + 145 

 = 800 m 

= 0.8 km

Time taken = 36 seconds 

= 36/3600 hours 

= 1/100 hours

∴  Speed of train

= 80 km/h

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 24

The value of 16 (sin6θ + cos6θ) - 24 (sin4θ + cos4θ) is equal to:

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 24

Formula used:
a3 + b3 = (a + b)- 3ab(a + b)
a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 - 2ab
Our given equation is 16 (sin6θ + cos6θ) - 24 (sin4θ + cos4θ)
= 16 {(sin2θ + cos2θ)3 - 3 sin2θ cos2θ (sin2θ + cos2θ)} - 24 { (sin2θ + cos2θ)2 - 2 sin2θ cos2θ}
= 16 (1 - 3 sin2θ cos2θ) - 24 (1 - 2 sin2θ cos2θ)
= 16 - 24 - 48 sin2θ cos2θ + 48 sin2θ cos2θ
= 16 - 24
= -8 
∴ The required value of the given expression is -8.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 25

By selling cloth at Rs. 9 per meter, a shopkeeper loses 10%. Find the rate at which it should be sold so as to earn a profit of 15%?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 25

According to the question:

By selling cloth at Rs. 9 per meter, a shopkeeper loses 10% 

Therefore, Selling Price = 90% of Cost Price

⇒ Cost Price

⇒ Cost Price = 10 Rs. per meter 

To earn a profit of 15% , 

Selling Price = 115% of 10 
⇒ Selling Price = 11.50 Rs. per meter

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 26

Two taps X and Y can fill a Bucket in 36 minutes and 45 minutes respectively. Another tap Z can empty the bucket in 30 minutes. After seven minutes of opening X and Y, Z is also opened then find the total time in which the bucket will be filled?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 26

Given,

Two tap X and Y can fill a Bucket in 36 minutes and 45 minutes respectively.

Another tap Z can empty the bucket in 30 minutes.

After seven minutes of opening X and Y, Z is also opened

If a tap can fill a tank in x hours, then the tank filled by the tap in 1-hour = 1/x of the total tank.

Part of the bucket filled by tap X and Y in 1 minute = 1/36 + 1/45 

= 9/180

= 1/20

Part of the Bucket filled by these pipes in 7 minutes = 7/20 

Remaining unfilled part = 1 - 7/20

= 13/20

When all three taps are opened

Time taken in filling 13/20 part = 13/20 × 60 = 39 minutes

Required time = 39 + 7 = 46 minutes

∴ The bucket will be filled up in 46 minutes.

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 27

Rate

= 12%

MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 28

Populations of two villages X and Y are in the ratio of 34 ∶ 43 respectively. If the population of village Y increases by 125000 and the population of village X remains unchanged the respective ratio of their populations becomes 17 ∶ 24. What is the population of village Y?

Detailed Solution for MAT Mock Test - 9 - Question 28

Given,
Ratio of Populations of villages X and Y = X ∶ Y = 34 ∶ 43
Ratio of Populations of villages X and Y if the population of village Y increase by 125000 = X ∶ (Y + 125000) = 17 ∶ 24
X ∶ Y = 34 ∶ 43
⇒X/Y = 34/43
⇒ Y = 43X/34
Now,
X ∶ (Y + 125000) = 17 ∶ 24

⇒ 24X = 43X/2 + 2125000
⇒ X = 850000
The population of village Y = 43 X 850000/34 = 1075000
∴ The population of village Y = 1075000
