CAT Exam: Sample Papers: Answers and Solutions

Part-A: Quantitative Aptitude

Answer 1: (B)

3y/2 = 7 + x

⇒ y = (14 + 2x)/3; for y to be integer (14 + 2x) should be divisible by 3

So, x = 2; y = 6

When x= 5, y = 8

When x = 8, y = 10

When x = 11, y = 12 and so on…

So, there is an AP in x with the first term being 2 and the common difference is 3.

nth term in x must be less than or equal to 210 i.e., 1024.

Therefore, 2 + (n-1)3 ≤ 1024

⇒ n ≤ (1022/3) +1

Therefore, n must be 341.

Hence, there can be 341 solutions.

Answer 2: (D)

If the function gets the maximum of 12 at x = 1

f(x) = a(x – 1)2 + 12

So, f (0) = a + 12 = 7 [Given]

⇒ a = –5

f(x) = –5(x – 1)2 + 12

So, f(-11) = –5(-12 – 1)2 + 12 = –845 + 12 = –833

Hence, the correct answer is –833.

Answer 3:

Let roots be (n - 1), n and (n + 1).

In a cubic equation, the coefficient of y divided by the coefficient of y3 represents the sum of the product of roots taken two at a time.

So, b = the sum of the product of roots taken two at a time

n(n - 1) + (n + 1)n + (n - 1) (n + 1) = b

⇒ n2 - n + n2 + n + n2 - 1 = b

⇒ 3n2 - 1 = b

The value of b will be minimal when the value of n2 is minimum.

i.e., n2 = 0

So, 3 × 0 - 1 = b

∴ b = -1

Hence, the correct answer is -1.

Answer 4: (D)

|x2 - 7x| > 5

⇒ x2 - 7x > 5 or x2 - 7x < -5

Case 1:

⇒ x2-7x > 5

⇒ x2 - 7x – 5 > 0

⇒ x > [(7±√69)/2], which gives two solutions x > 7 or x < 0 (for x to be integer).

Case 2:

⇒ x2 - 7x < -5

⇒ x2 - 7x + 5 < 0

⇒ x < [(7±√29)/2], which gives two solutions x < 7 or x > 0 (for x to be integer).

So, x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

There is no common solution in both cases.

Hence, the correct answer is 0.

Answer 5: (D)

For real roots; a2 – 4(3 – b) ≥ 0

⇒ a2 + 4b – 12 ≥ 0

⇒ a2 + 4b + b2 – b2 – 12 ≥ 0

⇒ a2 + b2 ≥ b2 – 4b + 12

⇒ a2 + b2 ≥ b2 – 4b + 4 + 8

⇒ a2 + b2 ≥ (b – 2)2 + 8

At b = 2, a2 + b2 has the minimum value. i.e., 8.

Hence, the correct answer is 8.

Answer 6: (A)

X = (100 – p) Y/100

Z = (100 + p) Y/100

X = (100 + 2.5p) Z/100

From 1st and 2nd relation, we get X = Z (100 – p) / (100 + p)

So, Z (100 – p) / (100 + p) = (100 + 2.5p) Z/100

⇒ 100(100 – p) = (100 + p) (100 + 2.5p)

⇒ – 100p = 100p – 250p + 2.5p2

⇒ 50p = 2.5p2

⇒ p = 20

Hence, the correct answer is 20.

Answer 7:

Area = ½ (base) (height) = ½ b (7b2 - 84) = 7b3/2 - 84b1/2

For Area to be minimum, find dA/db = 21/2 b2 – 42 = 0

⇒ b2 = 4

⇒ b = 2 or b = -2

Now find d2A/db2 = 21b

At b = 2; d2A/db2 = 42, which is greater than 0.

So, at b = 2, we get the minimum value of Area.

Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Answer 8: (C)

f(x) = max (2 × 7.5 + 1, 3 – 4 × 7.5) at x = 7.5

⇒ f(x) = max (16, -27) at x = 7.5

Hence, the correct answer is 16.

Answer 9: (B)

For x = 0; g(1) = 12/g(0)

Similarly g(2) = 12/g(1), which gives g(2) = g(0)

g(3) = g(1) and so on.

Therefore, g(11) = g(9) = g(7) = ……= g(1) = 12/g(0)

⇒ g (11) g (0) = 12

Hence, the correct answer is 12.

Part B - Logical Reasoning

Solution 1-3:

Males: Arun, Bittu, Cirag and Dheeraj

Females: Priya, Renu, Sharita and Varti

Cities: Madurai, Cutnee, Kurnool and Hapur

Regarding the couples, the wife always sits to the immediate right of her husband.

From (i), Bittu is not the husband of Priya.

From (ii), Dheeraj is from Hapur.

From (iii), Renu is not from Cutnee.

From (iv), Cirag is not from Kurnool and is not the husband of Sharita.

From (v), Arun is not married to Renu and Renu is not from Madurai.

Possibility Table

HUSBAND

WIFE

CITY

Bittu

Priya

Hapur

Dheeraj

Sharita, Reno, Priya, Varita

Hapur

Chirag

Sharita, Renu, Priya or Varita

Hapur, Kurnool, Mudrai or Cutnee

Arun

Renu

Hapur, Cutnee, Madurai or Kurnool

So, according to the table, there were two possibilities for Chirag's wife either Priya or Varita so we will consider these cases one by one.

Case I: If we consider Priya as Chirag’s wife and Priya can’t be from Madurai so they must be from Cutnee.

So, the arrangement could look like this:

------ Sharita Chirag --- Priya Bittu---Renu Arun-------

Now after this arrangement only one man and one woman is left so we can consider the woman as Arun’s wife and the man as Sharita’s Husband

Dheeraj ------ Sharita Chirag --- Priya Bittu---Renu Arun-------Varti

This arrangement fulfils all the conditions, so it is not required to consider any other case.

Answer 1: Dheeraj is married to Sharita. [Which is option (A)]

Answer 2: Chirag and Priya are from Cutnee. [Which is option (C)]

Answer 3: Chirag and his wife are seated second in the row. [Which is option (C)]

Solution 4 to 7:

1695034328923

1695034328732

Answer 4: By assuming a 4 × 4 × 4 cube is also not painted with pink colour, the number of cubes with no faces painted is = (6 – 2)3 = 64. Of these 64 smaller cubes now, in the second, third and fourth layers leftmost 9 cubes are painted pink, on the bottom surface four smaller cubes are painted pink and on the fourth layer back six smaller cubes are painted.

Hence, the total number of cubes with no face painted = 64 – 19 = 45

Answer 5: The number of cubes which are three faces painted before removing 64 smaller cubes = 8 and after painting with pink colour to those 64 smaller cubes seven new cubes will have three faces painted.

Hence, the total number of cubes with three faces painted = 8 + 7 = 15

Answer 6: The number of smaller cubes painted on two faces in the larger cube after removing 4 × 4 × 4 is illustrated as shown below.

9 edges with four smaller cubes with two faces painted = 9 × 4 = 36; 3 edges with one cube with two faces painted = 3 × 1 = 3

In the pink cube, there are 24 cubes on 12 edges which are painted on two faces.

Hence, the number of cubes with two faces painted = 36 + 3 + 24 = 63

Answer 7: The number of cubes with one face painted in the larger cube = 3 × 16 + 3 × 7 = 69. Number of cubes with one face painted in the 4 × 4 cube = 6 × 4 = 24

Hence, the total number of smaller cubes with one face painted = 69 + 24 = 93

The student cannot join the postgraduate MA program directly in the second year of the MA after completing the MBA.


Universities generally expect students to begin the first year of a masters' program even though they had qualifications at the level of a bachelor's degree. The university's curriculum along with the courses are planned to give an in-depth knowledge of the subjects.


But you could opt for:


Postgraduate Studies:


Research Career: In case research interests you, then you can pursue a Ph.D. in your specific interest.

Specialized Master's Programs: Find any specific master's course that supports the career goal.

Professional Certifications:


Make a professional certification in CFA, CA, or FRM to enhance the professional skills and better opportunities in the career field.

Job Entry via MBA

After gaining an MBA from a renowned institution, it's possible to get entry into the corporate world where the diversity in the career field is assured.

In the end, it would depend on what you would like and what you are particularly interested in. It will be better if you take a suggestion from your academic advisor or career counselor.

Hello Pratik,

If your family income exceeds 8 LPA, it will affect your eligibility for the NC-OBC category under the CAT reservation rules. The NC-OBC category requires that the family income should be below 8 LPA to qualify. If you anticipate that your income will exceed this threshold, you should update your status and notify the CAT authorities .

Here's what you can do:

  1. Email the CAT authorities : Inform them about the potential change in your income status and request to be considered under the General category, if applicable. You should do this before the examination or any further processing, as your eligibility for the OBC category depends on the income criteria.

  2. Documents and Proof : Make sure you have a valid OBC certificate and any relevant documentation regarding your family income, in case they require verification. Also, be aware that if your income exceeds 8 LPA, you might need to apply under the General category, as the OBC-NC reservation is no longer applicable.

  3. General Category Consideration : If your application is accepted as General, you will be evaluated based on the General category criteria, including cutoffs and ranking.

To summarize, notifying the CAT authorities is the correct approach to avoid discrepancies later, and if your income is above the threshold, you will be treated as a General candidate for the admissions process.
