Answers And Solutions Part-A (Quantitative Aptitude)
CAT entrance exam question papers with answers:
Ans 1: (a)
Let the Price of sugar cane per unit is 100x and 100y units of sugarcane are consumed initially.
Expenditure = Cost of sugarcane + Labour cost = (100x)(100y) + 15% of (100x)(100y)
= 10000xy + 1500xy = 11500xy
After an increase in the price of sugarcane and labour costs;
Expenditure = 125xz + 20% of 125xz = 150xz; where z is new consumption of sugarcane
Since Expenditure remains the same. So,
11500xy = 150xz
So, z = 1150y/15 = 230y/3
Reduction in usage of sugarcane = 100y – 230y/3 = 70y/3
Percentage reduction in usage of sugarcane = (70y/3) x 100/100y = 23.33%
Ans 2: (d)
Let C = 100x
A = 110x
B = 114x
A is less than B by (4x × 100/114x)% i.e. 3.5%
Ans 3: (b)
There will be a net loss = 152/100% loss = 2.25 % loss.
So,
SPCP=97.75100
Here, Total SP = 977.5 x 2 = 1955
So,
1955 CP=97.75100
On solving, Total CP = 2000
So, there will be a loss of Rs 45.
Ans 4: (a)
SP per unit = CP per unit = 1 (say)
Total SP Total CP=Quantity for which shopkeeper receives the amount x SP per unit quantity for which shopkeeper pays the amount x CP per unit
Total SPTotal CP=500 x 1550 x 1 = 1011
He got a loss of 1 on 11 i.e. 9.09% loss.
Ans 5: (c)
Profit = 30% more than loss
If loss = 100x; CP = 385 + 100x
then, Profit = 130x; CP = 500 - 130x
So, 385 + 100x = 500 - 130x
⇒ 115 = 230x
⇒ x = 0.5
So, CP = 385 + 100 x 0.5 = Rs 435
Selling Price to get profit of 20% = 435+0.2 x 435= Rs 522
Ans 6: (b)
In 6 months, interest = 4.25% of Sum = 34
So, Sum = 34 x 100/4.25 = Rs 800
Ans 7: (d)
Let Principal = 100x
Interest in 15 yrs = 600x (Since the amount becomes 7 times of principal)
Interest in 20 yrs = (600x/15) x 20 = 800x
So, the amount becomes 9 times itself in 20 years.
Ans 8: (c)
Due amount after down payment- 20000 – 12 % of 20000 for 4 years – 20000 – 12% of 20000 for 3 years- – 20000 – 12% of 20000 for 2 years - – 20000 – 12% of 20000 for 1 year – 20000 = 0
⇒ Due amount – 100000 – 12% of 20000 (4 + 3+ 2+1) = 0
⇒ Due amount = 100000 + 12% of 20000 (4 + 3+ 2+1) = 124000
Therefore, Cost of Electric Car = 615000 +124000 = Rs 739000
*For concept read the article for Day 11
Ans 9: (b)
First, calculate CI- SI for 3 years at 10% per annum = P(R/100)2(3+ R/100)
= 2400 (10/100)2(3+ 10/100)
= Rs 74.4
Additional SI at (10.25- 10) % for 3 years = 0.25 % of 2400 for 3 years = Rs 18
Net Difference between CI and SI for 3 years = Rs (74.4 – 18) = Rs 56.4
Answers And Solutions Part B (LRDI)
Ans 1: (b)
25% of Maharashtra’s oil-seed production = 10% of (30% of India’s oil-seed production).
Thus, Maharashtra’s oilseed production = 3/25 of India’s oilseed production. Thus, the required percentage = 12%
Ans 2: (c)
Since mustard is 1/5th of the total oilseed production of Maharashtra, hence total oilseed production of Maharashtra = 7.5 mn tons. Thus, the required percentage = 7.5/80 i.e. 9.375%
Ans 3: (b)
Total production of sunflower in entire India = 12.5% of 80 = 10. This production is divided between Maharashtra and the Rest of India in the ratio of 1: 4 i.e. Maharashtra produces 2 mn tons of sunflower. Hence it produces = 13.33 tons of oilseed. Thus, the Rest of India produces 80 – 13.33 = 66.66 tons of oilseeds of which the sunflower is 8 mn tons. Thus, the required percentage is 8/66.66 i.e. 8 × 3/2 = 12%
Solutions (Q.4 to Q.7)
As, the total sum = 30, and least sum (1, 2, 3) = 6, and the highest sum is (2, 3, 4) = 9, the sum of the ranks must be 6, 7, 8, and 9. From the given information, we have
Robin | Titu | Pankaj | Shushant | |
Maths | 1 | |||
Analytical | 3 | |||
English | 4 | |||
Total | 9 |
Case 1:
Considering Sushant’s Rank Maths, analytical, and English are 2, 4, and 3 respectively.
Titu cannot be 4th in maths as he is 4th in English. Similarly, Pankaj cannot be 3rd in maths. So Titu is 4th and Pankaj is 3rd in maths.
In Similar ways, Robin’s Rank in Analytical is 2nd and Titu’s Rank is 1st. Robin’s Rank cannot be calculated in English as it cannot take 1, 2, 3 and 4 according to given conditions.
Robin | Titu | Pankaj | Shushant | |
Maths | 1 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
Analytical | 2 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
English | 4 | 3 | ||
Total | 9 |
Therefore, this possibility is wrong.
Case 2:
Considering Sushant’s Rank Maths, analytical, and English are 3, 4, and 2 respectively.
Using the given conditions, the final table will look like
Robin | Titu | Pankaj | Shushant | |
Maths | 1 | 2 | 4 | 3 |
Analytical | 2 | 1 | 3 | 4 |
English | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2 |
Total | 9 |
The ranks of Robin and Sushant cannot be the same in Analytical and English respectively. Therefore, this possibility is also wrong.
Case 3:
Considering Sushant’s Rank Maths, analytical, and English are 4, 2, and 3 respectively.
∴ In Analytical, Robin got the fourth rank as it cannot take 1st rank. Pankaj’s rank must be 2 in Maths. Robin’s rank in English must be 2
∴ Shushant’s ranks in English and Maths are 3 and 4 respectively.
∴ Titu got the third rank in Maths.
All conditions are true.
Robin | Titu | Pankaj | Shushant | |
Maths | 1 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
Analytical | 4 | 1 | 3 | 2 |
English | 2 | 4 | 1 | 3 |
Total | 7 | 8 | 6 | 9 |
Ans 4: Titu got the third rank in Maths. Choice (A)
Ans 5: The sum of the ranks of Pankaj is 6. Choice (C)
Ans 6: Robin got the second rank in English. Choice (B)
Ans 7: The sum of the ranks of Robin is 7. Choice (B)
Answers And Solutions Part-C (VARC)
Ans 1: (b)
The original sentence suggests a chronological order of events, with the guests arriving first and then sitting in the garden and thus, the previous action has relevance to the following action. Therefore, have arrived is more appropriate than the simple past tense "arrived".
So, the correct sentence is: Our guests have arrived; they are sitting in the garden.
Ans 2: (c)
The use of "is going to leave" indicates a future action and is suitable for describing the imminent departure of the bus. The original sentence is in the present tense ("is now full") and suggests that the bus will leave in the near future. The phrase "is going to leave" is a suitable choice, as it maintains the present tense and indicates a planned action in the future.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The bus is now full of passengers; it is going to leave soon.
Ans 3: (d)
The original sentence is in the future tense, indicating a future action. In this context, the use of "will talk" implies that the person will discuss films in the future. "Talks about" is the correct choice, as it maintains the present tense and indicates a habitual or ongoing action. It reflects the idea that he consistently talks about films, making it a suitable replacement for the original sentence. Therefore, the correct sentence is: He talks about nothing but films.
Ans 4: (b)
The original sentence contains a grammatical error.
To correct it, the phrase "blind by a dust storm" should be changed to a participle phrase, which functions as an adjective to describe the subject, and the participle form of blind is blinded.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Blinded by a dust storm, they fell into disorder.
Ans 5: (c)
The sentence is already grammatically correct. There is no substitution needed, as the sentence maintains its tense consistently in the present tense, especially when expressing a general truth or commonly held belief.
Ans 6: (b)
In our given sentence, there is the simple present tense ("studies") to convey a habitual action or a general truth. It indicates that the boy regularly prepares for his examination.
Here, "is studying" is in the present progressive tense. It indicates an action that is happening right now and is still ongoing.
The use of the present progressive tense "is studying" suggests that the boy is actively engaged in studying at this moment for the specific purpose of preparing for his examination.
Therefore, "Don't disturb the boy; he is preparing for his examination."
Ans 7: (b)
The original sentence discusses an action that occurred in the past. So, the correct past tense should be used. "Wrote a letter" is the appropriate past tense form, making the sentence grammatically correct.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Biden wrote a letter to the Russian President to restrain from war."
Ans 8: (a)
The simple past tense denotes actions that occurred at a specific point in the past without emphasising their sequence in relation to other past events.
Hence, in this context, using the simple past tense "visited" is more appropriate and grammatically correct.
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "During my Goa tour, I visited beaches in Vasco, Baga, and Vagator."
Ans 9: (a)
The most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence is: I have been working here for the past ten years. The correct form of the sentence should be "have been" instead of "am been". The present perfect continuous tense denotes that the action started ten years back and is still going on.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I have been working here for the past ten years.
