CAT Sample Papers: CAT questions with answers and Solutions

Part-A (Quantitative Aptitude - CAT Sample Paper Solution)

Ans 1: (d)

Let roots be α and β;

Sum of roots; α + β = -a

Product of roots; αβ = b

Also, α – β = 4

(α + β)2 = (α – β)2 + 4αβ

So, (-a)2 = 42 + 4b

⇒ a2 = 42 + 4b

⇒ a2 = 4(4 + b)

Ans 2: (b)

Sum of roots = c2 (Using sum of roots = -b/a)

Product of roots = 3(2c - 1)

According to question

c2 = 1/3 (3(2c - 1)) = 2c - 1

⇒ c2 - 2c + 1 = 0

⇒ (c -1)2 = 0

⇒ c = 1

Ans 3: 7

Let the fraction be ‘x’

It's reciprocal will be 1/x

So, x – 1/x = 48/7

⇒ x2 – 1 = 48x/7

⇒ 7x2 – 48x – 7 = 0

⇒ 7x2 – 49x + x – 7 = 0

⇒ 7x (x – 7) + (x – 7) = 0

⇒ (x – 7) (7x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = 7 or x = -1/7

So, x = 7 will be the answer.

Ans 4: (a)

3x = 1+ 7y

For integral solutions, (1 +7y) should be a multiple of 3.

y= 2, x = 5

y = 5, x = 12

y = 11, x = 26

y = 14, x = 33

y = 17, x = 40

y = 20, x = 47

y = 23, x = 54, where x is greater than 50. So the total solutions are 6.

Ans 5: (d)

Let correct questions be x, wrong questions are y and non-attempted are z.

So, x + y + z = 62

and 3x -y + 0 = 50 (according to question)

The minimum value of x for which 3x – y = 50 is 17.

The maximum value of x is when z = 0.

If z = 0, x + y = 62 or y = 62 – x

So, 3x – (62 – x) = 50

So, x = 28.

Therefore, No. of valid values for x will be from 17 to 28 = 12.

Ans 6: (b)

Profit = 10(7 +8y/5) – 6y2

To find the minimum profit

10(7 +8y/5) – 6y2 ≥ 0

Or, 70 + 16y – 6y2 ≥ 0

Or, 6y2 – 16y -70 ≤ 0

On solving, we get

Or, y ≥ 5 or y ≤ -7/3

So, the minimum value of y is 5.

Ans 7: (b)

Factor of x2 – 2x + 3 are (x-3) and (x + 1)

So, x =3 and x = -1 will also satisfy x4 – ax2 + b = 0

At x = 3, 34 – a x 32 + b = 0 ⇒ 81 - 9a + b = 0

At x = -1, (-1) 4-a (-1) 2+b = 0 ⇒ 1 – a + b = 0

On solving the above equations, a = 10, b = 9.

Ans 8: (c)

Profit = 720 – CP

Loss = CP – 540

According to the conditions;

Loss = 2 x Profit

CP – 540 = 2 (720 – CP)

So, CP = Rs 660.

Part-B (LRDI - CAT Sample Paper Solution)

Ans 1: (b)

Except for boundary cubes, all other cubes will satisfy this condition.
Total cubes will be 80 and boundary cubes will be 32 so the rest cubes will be 80 – 32 = 48.

Ans 2: (a)

Since the block is divided into 10 equal cubes of side 1 cm (from 10 cm side), and 8 equal cubes of side 1 cm(from 8 cm side). So, the total number of small cubes = 10 × 8 = 80.

Ans 3: (a)

only corner cubes will have three surface paints and this cuboid has only four corner faces. so, the answer will be 4.

Ans 4: (b)

Only a single side-colored yellow cube will be left out. So, the answer will be
6 + 6 = 12 cubes.

Ans 5: (a)

B is the grandmother of F

Ans 6: (b)

C is the daughter of B. All are true except (2).

Ans 7: (c)

The distance between E and C is 12 m.
The distance between E and C cannot be determined since we don’t know the distance between C and H.

Ans 8: (c)

From the given information, draw a family tree and distance diagram as shown:

1695787179254

1695787179731

Part-C (VARC - CAT Sample Paper Solution)

Ans 1: (b)

‘Was’ is associated with the past tense. In discussing hypothetical situations, the subjunctive mood is used.
The correct usage is ‘If I were…I would….’

Ans 2: (c)

One of the problems is singular, as it refers to one of many problems. So, the right verb to be used with this subject is ‘is’, not ‘are’. The correct usage is “One of the problems……..is…

Ans 3: (b)

The expression ‘the number’ indicates a single arithmetical value. So, it is followed by a singular verb. On the other hand, the expression ‘a number’ serves as an indefinite pronoun meaning many. So, it is followed by a plural verb.

Ans 4: (d)

The first error is corrected by either saying ‘as you are a teacher’, or ‘being that you are a teacher’. The second error is in the use of ‘if’ after ‘hoping’. ‘Hoping’ is normally followed by a noun clause beginning with ‘that’(either explicitly stated or implied), or it is followed by ‘for’, or ‘to’.

Ans 5: (b)

use the 2nd form of the verb. Wanted in place of want.

Ans 6: (c)

Be fulfilled in place of fulfil

Ans 7: (a)

replace is with has been

Ans 8: (b)

have in place of “had”.

Ans 9: (c)

replace had with has

M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, one of the top four audit and accounting firms in the world with headquarters at London, UK, and with an operational presence in 153 countries, hires Management Trainees (MT) from all the premier management institutes of India thrice every year, in the months of January, May and September.

Each new group of Management Trainees (MT) have to go through a four month rigorous training schedule, after which they have to pass through a test consisting of a written assessment and a case-analysis. The top hundred ranked Management Trainees (MT) based on the performance in the test are confirmed as Management Executives (ME).

Directions for question:

Two friends Moloy and Niloy passed out from the Purulia Institute of Science and Technology with B.Tech degrees in Mechanical Engineering, but even after a year placement was hard to find. So they decided to take the challenge head-on, came down to Kolkata, rented a garage space on Park Street, and having an affinity towards making people enjoy good food, started their firm named 'B.Tech Bread-Omlette Wala'. 

They started with three items on the menu. One was the French Toast which could be prepared in 3 minutes. The second was the Egg Tortillas which took 15 minutes to prepare. Any one of Moloy and Niloy could prepare any one of them at a time. The third was the Egg Bhurji with French Fries. This however was prepared on an automated fryer which could prepare 3 servings at a time and took 5 minutes irrespective of the number of servings equal to or below 3. The fryer did not need anyone to attend to it, and the time to put in the raw ingredients could be neglected. So one could tend to the preparation of other items while the Egg Bhurji with French Fries were being prepared. 

They wanted to serve the orders as early as possible after the order was given. The individual items in any order were served as and when all the items were ready, and the order was then considered closed. None of the items on the menu were prepared in advance in anticipation of future orders. 

On the first day, 3 groups of customers came in and ordered at 6.00 pm, 6.10 pm, and 6.13 pm. The first order was for a plate of Egg Tortillas, two plates of French Toast, and three plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The second order was for a plate of French Toast and two plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The third order was for a plate of Egg Tortilla and a plate of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. 

On the backdrop of the above information answer the questions given :

Question: 

Assuming that the next customer's order could only be attended to when the previous customer's order was closed, at what time would the first customer's order be considered closed ?

 

Option: 1

6.15 pm

 

 


Option: 2

6.17 pm

 


Option: 3

6.18 pm

 


Option: 4

6.20 pm

Two friends Moloy and Niloy passed out from the Purulia Institute of Science and Technology with B.Tech degrees in Mechanical Engineering, but even after a year placement was hard to find. So they decided to take the challenge head-on, came down to Kolkata, rented a garage space on Park Street, and having an affinity towards making people enjoy good food, started their firm named 'B.Tech Bread-Omlette Wala'. 

They started with three items on the menu. One was the French Toast which could be prepared in 3 minutes. The second was the Egg Tortillas which took 15 minutes to prepare. Any one of Moloy and Niloy could prepare any one of them at a time. The third was the Egg Bhurji with French Fries. This however was prepared on an automated fryer which could prepare 3 servings at a time and took 5 minutes irrespective of the number of servings equal to or below 3. The fryer did not need anyone to attend to it, and the time to put in the raw ingredients could be neglected. So one could tend to the preparation of other items while the Egg Bhurji with French Fries were being prepared. 

They wanted to serve the orders as early as possible after the order was given. The individual items in any order were served as and when all the items were ready, and the order was then considered closed. None of the items on the menu were prepared in advance in anticipation of future orders. 

On the first day, 3 groups of customers came in and ordered at 6.00 pm, 6.10 pm, and 6.13 pm. The first order was for a plate of Egg Tortillas, two plates of French Toast, and three plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The second order was for a plate of French Toast and two plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The third order was for a plate of Egg Tortilla and a plate of Egg Bhurji with French Fries.
