Part 1: Quantitative Aptitude For CAT 2024

Topic: Ratios in partnership

When two or more individuals formally agree to run a business or company and decide to share profits depending on the investment, it is called a Partnership.

Partnership depends on three main factors: Investment, time, and profit/loss

Important Concept/Formula Used in Ratio and Partnerships Problems
Problems on profit Sharing

  • PA: PB: PC = IA x TA: IB x TB: IC x TC

  • PA, PB, and PC are profit shares of A, B and C respectively.

  • IA, IB, and IC are investments made by A, B and C respectively.

  • TA, TB, and TC are the time of investment of A, B and C respectively.

CAT previous years' Questions on Ratio and Partnership

Q1. Peter started a business with 20, 000. John joined him 4 months later with 30, 000. After 2 more months, Peter withdrew 5,000 of his capital and 2 more months later, John brought in 20, 000 more. At the end of the year, what should be the ratio in which they should share the profits? [CAT exam]

Solutions:
Peter invested Rs 20000 and after 6 months (4 +2), he withdrew Rs 5000 and hence his investment remains Rs 15000.
John joins after 4 months i.e. for a total of 8 months with Rs 30, 000 for the initial 4 months and then invests Rs 20000 for the next 4 months.
Therefore, the share of profit of Peter and John will be in the ratio
P: J = (20000 x 6 + 15000 x 6): (30000 x 4 + 50000 x 4)
P: J = 21: 32

Q2. A profit of Rs 144000 has to be divided among three partners Akram, Bipin and Chintan if their investments are in the ratio 3:2:7. How much Rs. Chintan get [CAT exam]

  1. 84000

  2. 24000

  3. 36000

  4. 42000

CAT 2024 QA Preparation Tips for Ratio and Partnership

In the partnership math question, If the time of investment is the same for all the partners, then the profit ratio is equal to the ratio of their respective investments.
For Passive or sleeping partners, the share is only for their investment.
Share of Active (Working) partners is for both i.e. investment as well as work.

CAT's previous years' questions

Comprehension:

Fuel contamination levels at each of the 20 petrol pumps P1, P2, …, and P20 were recorded as either high, medium, or low.

Contamination levels at three pumps among P1 – P5 were recorded as high.

P6 was the only pump among P1 – P10 where the contamination level was recorded as low.

P7 and P8 were the only two consecutively numbered pumps where the same levels of contamination were recorded.

High contamination levels were not recorded at any of the pumps P16 – P20.

The number of pumps where high contamination levels were recorded was twice the number of pumps where low contamination levels were recorded. [CAT exam 2018]

Q1. Which of the following MUST be true?

  1. The contamination level at P10 was recorded as high.

  2. The contamination level at P13 was recorded as low.

  3. The contamination level at P20 was recorded as a medium.

  4. The contamination level at P12 was recorded as high.

Q2. What best can be said about the number of pumps at which the contamination levels were recorded as a medium?

  1. At most 9

  2. Exactly 8

  3. More than 4

  4. At least 8

Q3. If the contamination level at P11 was recorded as low, then which of the following MUST be true?

  1. The contamination level at P12 was recorded as high.

  2. The contamination level at P15 was recorded as a medium.

  3. The contamination level at P18 was recorded as low.

  4. The contamination level at P14 was recorded as a medium.

Q4. If the contamination level at P15 was recorded as a medium, then which of the following MUST be FALSE?

  1. Contamination levels at P11 and P16 were recorded as the same.

  2. Contamination level at P14 was recorded to be higher than that at P15.

  3. Contamination levels at P13 and P17 were recorded as the same.

  4. Contamination levels at P10 and P14 were recorded as the same.

Solution:

Tip 1: Write concrete information first

P6 was the only pump among P1 – P10 with a low contamination level.

Only P7 and P8 were the only two consecutively numbered pumps with the same levels of contamination.

Contamination levels at three pumps among P1– P5 were recorded as high i.e. P1, P3 and P5 have high Contamination levels whereas P2 and P4` will be with medium Contamination levels.

Tip 2: Draw all the possibilities

We get two possible cases for P1 to P10.

1696831669571

Tip 3: Eliminating the wrong possibilities

In Case I, Maximum number of H can be 8 (P1, P3, P5, P7, P8, P10, P12, P14) since high contamination cannot be in P16- P20

It is given that

H = 2L

8 = 2L

⇒ L = 4, therefore M must be 20- 8- 4 = 8

Thus H + L = 3L must be multiple of 3.

The possible arrangement will be

1696831669222

Also, 8 H can be at P1, P3, P5, P7, P88 P10, P13, P15, then

The possible arrangement will be

1696831669411

In case II, H can be 6 and L will be 3;

The number of pipes with medium contamination level = 11 which is not possible.

So, Case I is true with two possibilities.

Part 3: VARC (Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension) For CAT 2024

Topic: Reading Comprehension Part-4 (Solving through CAT Previous Years Questions)

CAT Previous Years Question on RC:

Comprehension:

Read the passage and answer the question based on it.

Creativity is at once our most precious resource and our most inexhaustible one. As anyone who has ever spent any time with children knows, every single human being is born creative; every human being is innately endowed with the ability to combine

and recombine data, perceptions, materials and ideas, and devise new ways of thinking and doing. What fosters creativity? More than anything else: the presence of other creative people. The big myth is that creativity is the province of great individual

geniuses. In fact, creativity is a social process. Our biggest creative breakthroughs come when people learn from, compete with, and collaborate with other people.

Cities are the true fonts of creativity... With their diverse populations, dense social networks, and public spaces where people can meet spontaneously and serendipitously, they spark and catalyze new ideas. With their infrastructure for finance, organization and trade, they allow those ideas to be swiftly actualized.

As for what staunches creativity, that's easy, if ironic. It's the very institutions that we build to manage, exploit and perpetuate the fruits of creativity — our big bureaucracies, and sad to say, too many of our schools. Creativity is disruptive; schools and organizations are regimented, standardized and stultifying.

The education expert Sir Ken Robinson points to a 1968 study reporting on a group of 1,600 children who were tested overtime for their ability to think in out-of-the-box ways. When the children were between 3 and 5 years old, 98 percent achieved

positive scores. When they were 8 to 10, only 32 percent passed the same test, and only 10 percent at 13 to 15. When 280,00025-year-olds took the test, just 2 percent passed. By the time we are adults, our creativity has been wrung out of us.

I once asked the great urbanist, Jane Jacobs, what makes some places more creative than others. She said, essentially, that the question was an easy one. All cities, she said, were filled with creative people; that's our default state as people. But some cities had more than their shares of leaders, people and institutions that blocked out that creativity. She called them "squelchers."

Creativity (or the lack of it) follows the same general contours of the great socio-economic divide - our rising inequality – that plagues us. According to my own estimates, roughly a third of us across the United States, and perhaps as much as half of us in our most creative cities - are able to do work which engages our creative faculties to some extent, whether as artists, musicians, writers, techies, innovators, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, journalists or educators - those of us who work with our minds. That leaves a group that I term "the other 66 percent," who toil in low-wage rote and rotten jobs — if they have jobs at all — in which their creativity is subjugated, ignored or wasted.

Creativity itself is not in danger. Its flourishing is all around us - in science and technology, arts and culture, in our rapidly revitalizing cities. But we still have a long way to go if we want to build a truly creative society that supports and rewards the creativity of each and every one of us.

Q1. In the author's view, cities promote human creativity for all the following reasons EXCEPT that they

  1. contain spaces that enable people to meet and share new ideas.

  2. expose people to different and novel ideas, because they are home to varied groups of people.

  3. provide the financial and institutional networks that enable ideas to become reality.

  4. provide access to cultural activities that promote new and creative ways of thinking.

Ans: D

CAT Tips and Tricks: Search each statement individually in the passage.

(A), (B) and (C) are mentioned in the second paragraph

A, refers to new ideas

B, refers to a diverse population

C, refers to the infrastructure of finance

Q2. The author uses 'ironic' in the third paragraph to point out that

  1. people need social contact rather than isolation to nurture their creativity

  1. institutions created to promote creativity eventually stifle it

  1. the larger the creative population in a city, the more likely it is to be stifled

  1. large bureaucracies and institutions are the inevitable outcome of successful cities

Ans: B

CAT Tips and Tricks: See only third paragraph (Search keywords) or eliminate the irrelevant options

Option A: did not discuss in the third paragraph

Option C: Contrary statement

Option D: Irrelevant

Option B: Explicitly mentioned in the paragraph

Q3. The central idea of this passage is that

  1. social interaction is necessary to nurture creativity

  1. creativity and ideas are gradually declining in all societies

  1. the creativity divide is widening in societies in line with socio-economic trends

  1. more people should work in jobs that engage their creative faculties

Ans: A

CAT Tips and Tricks: Go through options and search in the passage

Neither B nor C is mentioned in the passage whereas D is a recommendation of the passage.

Q4. Jane Jacobs believed that cities that are more creative

  1. have to struggle to retain their creativity

  1. have to 'squelch' unproductive people and promote creative ones

  1. have leaders and institutions that do not block creativity

  1. typically, do not start off as creative hubs

Ans: C

CAT Tips and Tricks: Go through options and search in the passage

Key Words: Jane, Jacob, Creative

Q5. The 1968 study is used here to show that

  1. as they get older, children usually learn to be more creative

  1. schooling today does not encourage creative thinking in children

  1. the more children learn, the less creative they become

  1. technology today prevents children from being creative.

Ans: B

Have a question related to CAT ?

A score of 64 marks in CAT would likely fall around the 85th percentile depending on the difficulty of the exam and the overall performance of candidates in this year.


So,it is highly unlikely that you will receive a call from any of the IIMs as the required percentile for an IIM call is typically much higher, usually ranging from 90% and above, especially for top IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta.


If you are looking for MBA programs, consider exploring other B-schools that may have lower cut-offs for admission.


Here are some B-schools that may have lower cutoffs for admission:


SOIL Institute of Management: Has a CAT cut-off of 75 percentile


T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), Manipal: Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+


Great Lakes Institute of Management (GLIM): Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+


MICA: Has an expected CAT cut-off of 85+


S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), Mumbai: Has a CAT cut-off of 85 percentile


Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management (SJMSOM), Mumbai: Has a CAT cut-off of 97.5 percentile


Others are IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, JBIMS, XIMB, and GIM.


Now coming to your academic background which often calculated as a weighted average based on the importance of each component different b school has different criteria for it.

Reservation criteria is same here as other MBA colleges set by government of india i.e

Scheduled Caste (SC): 15% of seats

Scheduled Tribe (ST): 7.5% of seats

Economically Weaker Section (EWS): 10% of seats

Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC): 27% of seats for candidates belonging to the “non-creamy” layer

The CAT cutoff percentiles for the 2024-26 PGDM-ABM batch at the ICAR-National Academy of Agricultural Research and Management (NAARM) are as follows:

General: 75.14

EWS: 38.00

NC-OBC: 44.16

SC: 72.980

Hello Varun,

Based on your CAT raw score and profile, here's a breakdown of your potential calls and your chances for different institutes:

1. GIM Goa, GLIM Chennai, IMT Ghaziabad, IMI Delhi:

  • GIM Goa : With a score of 55, GIM typically looks for candidates with a higher percentile. However, you may still get a call if your overall profile, including your academic background (93.8% in Class 12, work experience), is strong.

  • GLIM Chennai : GLIM has a competitive cutoff, but with a solid academic record and work experience, there may be a chance, especially if you belong to a diverse background.

  • IMT Ghaziabad : Your chances with a score of 55 are slim, as IMT usually looks for a higher percentile. However, if you have an impressive profile and high academic scores, there may still be a slim possibility.

  • IMI Delhi : Similar to IMT, IMI Delhi has high cutoffs and competitive selection criteria. However, work experience and other factors like diversity can sometimes offset a lower CAT score.

    2. IIM SAP (Special Admission Program) :

  • The IIM SAP is typically for candidates with significant work experience or other unique factors. Your 14 months of work experience could be beneficial, but your CAT score of 55 is on the lower side, making it unlikely to receive an IIM SAP call. However, if you have other outstanding features in your profile (e.g., exceptional academic performance, leadership qualities, etc.), you might still stand a chance.

    3. Other Possible Calls :

  • UPES Dehradun : Known for considering work experience and unique profiles, UPES could be a potential option for you.

  • Bimtech Noida : You could expect a call here, considering your work experience and overall profile.

  • XIMB Bhubaneswar : This institute also considers profiles with good work experience, and you may stand a chance despite your score.

Overall, you can expect a call from institutes that weigh work experience and academic performance heavily, but you should also be prepared for lower-tier institutes in terms of CAT score cutoffs. Ensure you target institutes that match your profile for better chances.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

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.

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.
