Reading Comprehension
IT’S LIKE READING Dostoevsky on a bad summer day. There are so many tormented souls out there caught in a morality play. Its emotional intensity is only matched by the inevitability of the x xx it raises about country, religion, power, and retribution. It’s big, shapeless, chaotic, and in the end, a rewarding experience of the imagination. But then, you’re not reading Great Russian. You’re living in, dare I say, a creative phase of politics. Rich in ideas and arguments, intense in its interplay of passions, nuanced in its undertones of morality and ethics, and ambitious in its pursuit of freedom, politics today, as a genre in creativity, is as good as the original works in other realms of the human mind, be it fiction or philosophy.
A sign of the times could be the profusion of political titles in publishing. They are mostly built on the themes of populism, outsiderhood, globalisation and resentment. Hardly a week passes without a full-length review in the book pages on yet another tome on a world gone astray, a world that’s being led to an incendiary denouement by revolutionaries and revisionists. The moment deserves such interventions because, by common intellectual consensus, in the evolution of post-World War II politics, we are at the next history-shifting stage after 1989, Europe’s annus mirabilis.
Then, the stage was an extension of literature: what was imagined in a controlled society sought freedom as the Lie unravelled. In Russia once imagined by Gogol, and lately reclaimed by Solzhenitsyn, the sight of the last general secretary of the Soviet Union letting the empire crack and go away needed another prophet, another novelist. Elsewhere, in a vassal state, revolution earned an adjective as romantic as ‘velvet’, and in the vanguard of its freedom struggle were writers and singers. In the end, the philosopher would be king. It was a time when an idea that promised man an alternative more liberating than religion proved to be history’s biggest ghost story.
Today, it’s the idea of freedom, as it has always been, that propels politics. It’s a different cast. No figures larger than their historical size. No one is pretending to be the last arbiter of our destiny. And no one is talking in a language that would be taught generation after generation. The disappearance of grandeur from the arena even prompted some pundits a while ago to wail over the death of politics. This moment in politics has an overwhelming sense of ordinariness about it. The new salvation theologians are all ordinary guys, tapping into the fears of people who have lost their balance in a world moving at a pace they cannot cope with. They can easily be categorised into types.
Q6. What does the author mean by the phrase “a creative phase of politics”?
(I) Politics today, as a genre in creativity, is as good as the original works in other realms of the human mind, be it fiction or philosophy.
(II) Politics today, on moral and creative grounds, is big, shapeless, chaotic, and in the end, a rewarding experience of the imagination.
(III) Politics today is rich in ideas and arguments, fervent in its interplay of passions and nuanced in its undertones of morality and ethics.
Only (I) is correct
Only (II) is correct
Both (I) and (II) are correct
Both (I) and (III) are correct
All are correct
Q7. Which of the following statements summarizes Paragraph 04 in the best possible manner?
Modern politics has evolved after the death of primeval politics and it finds no relevance in its classical glory as the idea of freedom and the sense of ordinariness have substituted the core ideologies.
In an unequal world, the old bipolarity of politics has ceased to work, for the Left and the Right have not only lost the social space, they have lost the argument to a new set of liberators for whom it is not ideology that matters but ideas that feed on resentment.
The importance and culture of politics have diminished since the arrival of ordinary people in the arena that witnessed the death of ancient political ideologies.
As history choreographs a heady piece of politics, a certain amount of pessimism has taken over the fears of people who have lost their balance in a world moving at a pace they cannot cope with.
None of the above.

CAT Question Paper with solutions Part-1: CAT Test Series 2024 (Quantitative Aptitude)
Answer 1: (B)
log49 (7log2 (2 + log3 (1 + 2log2x))) = ½
⇒ 7log2 (2 + log3(1 + 2log2x)) = 491/2= 7
⇒ log2(2 + log3 (1 + 2log2x)) = 1
⇒ 2 + log3 (1 + 2log2x) = 2
⇒ log3 (1 + 2log2x) = 0
⇒ (1 + 2log2x) = 30 = 1
⇒ 2log2x = 0
⇒ log2x = 0
⇒ x = 1
Answer 2: (C)
log10(x2 + 3x + 21) = (2 − log104)
⇒ log10(x2 + 3x + 21) = (log10 102 − log10 4)
⇒ log10(x2 + 3x + 21) = (log10 100 − log104)
⇒ log10(x2 + 3x + 21) = (log10 100/4)
⇒ log10(x2 + 3x + 21) = (log1025)
⇒ x2 + 3x + 21 = 25
⇒ x2 + 3x - 4 = 0
⇒ (x + 4) (x - 1) = 0
⇒ x = - 4 or 1.
Hence, the correct answer is 1.
Answer 3: (C)
log5 4, log5 (3x – 1), log5 (3x +7) are in Arithmetic progression(AP).
Let the average age of children be x and there are n children in the family.
Let the age of the mother be y.
So, nx + y = (n + 1) 20 - - - - - - -(1)
Also, nx + y + 50 = (n + 2) 30 - - - - - - (2)
Subtracting 1st equation from the 2nd, we get,
50 = 30n + 60 – 20n – 20
⇒ 50 = 10n + 40
⇒ n = 1
Hence, there is only 1 child in the family.
Answer 5: [A]
Total weight of 30 + n persons = 30x 30 + m x n = 900 + mn
Average = (900 + mn)/ (30+ n)
Use hit and trial
m = 31; n = 6; Average = 1086/36 = 30.166
m = 32; n = 5; Average = 1060/35 = 30.285
m = 33; n = 4; Average = 1086/34 = 30.352
m = 34; n = 3; Average = 1002/33 = 30.363
m = 35; n = 2; Average = 970/32 = 30.312
m = 36; n = 1; Average = 936/31 = 30.193
So, the maximum possible average weight can be 30.363 kgs.
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: (A)
Let the initial Price = 100
Price after 1st year after 40% increase = 140
Price after 2nd year after 30% increase = 140 × (130/100) = 182
∴ Net increase in Price = 182 - 100 = 82
Average change per year = 82 / 2 = 41
Hence, the correct answer is 41.
Answer 8: (D)
A can type 60/4 = 15 sheets in 1 hour
B can type 60/5 = 12 sheets in 1 hour
C can type 60/6 = 10 sheets in 1 hour
Total sheets typed in 1 hour = 15 + 12 + 10 = 37
So, Average sheets per person = 37/3
Hence, the correct answer is 37/3.

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). The rest are given the opportunity of undergoing the training for four months one more time along with the next batch of Management Trainees (MT) and then passing through the subsequent test consisting of the written assessment and case-analysis. The Management Trainee (MT) who fails to get confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) the second time is fired.
The scatter-graph below depicts the number of Management Trainees (MT) at Deloitte taking the tests from January 2020 till May 2022, and the vis-à-vis hired Management Trainees (MT) at Deloitte who were fired :
It is also known that for the month of September 2019 at Deloitte, 96 hired Management Trainees (MT) failed to be confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) the first time, and that 36 hired Management Trainees (MT) were fired.

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 ?

Question:
Suppose Moloy and Niloy had decided to process multiple orders at the same time, however strictly prioritising a first come first serve basis, when would the second customer's order be considered closed ?
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.
