- CAT sample paper Part- C consists of 1 RC with 6 questions and 4 questions on Error detection.

CAT Mock Test Part-A: Quantitative Aptitude for CAT Practice Questions (Quant Questions for CAT Exam 2024 Practice)

CAT previous year question 1. The number of ways of arranging 8 persons in a row is

(permutation and combination previous year questions)

(a) 8! (b) 7! (c) 8 (d) 4

Ans: (a)

The number of ways of arranging n persons in a row is n!

CAT previous year question 2. How many 4-digit odd numbers can be formed using [0, 2, 3, 5] such that all digits to be used altogether?

(a) 256 (b) 12 (c) 8 (d) 32

Ans: (c)

Since all digits to be used together, repetition is not allowed.

For number to be odd; Unit place is either 3 or 5; So, number of ways of filling unit place is 2.

Left most place can not be 0, so number of ways to fill left most place is 2 (Since 1 digit is already used at unit place and 0 cannot be taken.)

Remaining two places can be filled in 2 x1 ways.

Therefore, total numbers to be formed = 2 x 2 x 2x 1= 8

CAT previous year question 3. How many three- digit numbers can be formed using digits {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} such that each digit can be repeated any number of times.

(a) 36 (b) 125 (c) 216 (d) 300

Solution: [c]

Each can be filled in 6 different ways.

So, total numbers formed = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216

CAT previous year question 4. Anshuman runs 5/3 times as fast as Mukesh. In a race, if Anshuman gives a lead of 50m to Mukesh, find the distance from the starting point where both of them will meet. [TITA]

Solution:

Let after time T, they will meet. Distance covered by Mukesh is 50 m less than that by Anshuman.

SA/SM = DA/DM

5/3 = DA/ DM

If DA = 5x, then DM = 3x.

So. 5x – 3x = 50

Therefore x = 25

Distance from starting point = Distance by Anshuman = 25 x 5 = 125 m.

CAT previous year question 5. Jack and Sam are running in opposite direction around a circular track of length 220π meters. Speed of Jack is 37.5% of the speed of Sam. Find distance between two meeting points. It is given that they start simultaneously from a common starting point.

(a) 50π (b) 75π (c) 100π (d) 25π

Ans: [d]

Since speed of Jack: Speed of Sam = 3: 8.

Therefore, the no. of distinct meeting points is (3+8 = 11).

Therefore, total length of the track is divided in 11 equal parts.

So, distance between two meeting points = 220π/11 = 20π

CAT previous year question 6. In a race of 270m, if A gives B a start of 30 metres, then A wins the race by 10 seconds. Alternatively, if A gives B a start of 60 meters the race ends in a dead heat. How long does A take to run 270m? (Time and Distance previous year questions pdf)

(a) 100 sec (b) 80 sec (c) 90 sec (d) 70 sec

Ans: [c]

A gives B a start of 30 meters and still wins the race by 10 seconds.

Alternatively, if A gives B a start of 60 metres, then the race ends in a dead heat.

Therefore, the additional 30 meters start given to B compensates for the 10 seconds.

i.e., B runs 30 meters in 10 seconds.

Hence, B will take 90 seconds to run 270 metres.

We know that A gives B a start of 60 metres. A will complete 270m in the time in which B completes 210 m i.e. 70 seconds.

CAT previous year question 7. Saket is climbing on a moving escalator that is going up and takes 20 steps to reach the top. Ashish on the other hand is coming down on the same escalator. For every 5 steps that Ashish takes, Saket takes only 4 steps. Both of them take the same amount of time to reach the other end. Find the total number of steps in the escalator?

(a) 10 (b) 40 (c) 90 (d) 30

Ans: [b]

Let us assume their speeds are 5 steps per second and 3 steps per second respectively, and the speed of the escalator is ‘x’

Since both of them take the same time for the same distance, their effective speed is the same.

=> 5 – x = 3 + x

=> x = 1

Speed of Saket: Speed of escalator = 3: 1

When Saket takes 30 steps, the escalator takes 10 steps.

Total number of steps = 30 + 10 = 40 steps.

  4. 33.75%

CAT previous year question 5. By what percentage is the Interest paid in the first half of the year more/less than the Interest paid in the second half of the year?

  1. 25% more

  2. 20% more

  3. 20% less

  4. 25% less

The numbers given are degree that the sector makes at the center. Since 360 degrees = 100%, to change degrees to percentages, we will have to divide by 3.6. One need not do this calculation unless absolutely must. Read through the explanation to see how one can avoid this.

Assume the income in first half year as 360x and in second half year as 360y.

CAT Previous Year Questions with Solutions

1. c

24x = 30y i.e.

1730952294393. This will be the ratio of the income in the two half years.

2. c

The ratio of the expenses in the two half years will be 60 : 40 i.e. 3 : 2. Thus,

1730952294478

The closest option is 2 : 1

3. b

Once could use (18x + 15y) = 4.66% (360x + 360y) to find the ratio of x and y and then proceed to find the ratio (24x + 30y)/(360x + 360y).

An easier way is to realise use Alligation to find the ratio x/y.

4.66% is

1696932931851

i.e. 14/3%.

This in degree terms is

1696932932704

= 16.8 degrees.

Thus, the weighted average of 18 and 15 is 16.8. Hence the weights are in the ratio 1.8 : 1.2 i.e. 3 : 2

Now we want to find the weighted average of 24 degrees and 30 degrees with weights being 3 : 2. The average is thus (72 + 60)/5 i.e. 132/5 degrees i.e. 26.4 degrees. In percentage terms this will be 264/36 i.e. 22/3 = 7.33%

For questions 4 & 5:

360x = 120 i.e. x = 1/3 and 360y = 144 i.e. y = 2/5.

4. d

Expense in first half = 228/3 = 76, Net profit in first half = 60/3 = 20

Expense in second half = 210 × 2/5 = 84, Net profit in second half = 85 × 2/5 = 34.

Thus, total profit = 54 and total expenses = 160. Thus, required percentage = 54/160 i.e. 33.75%

5. a

Interest paid in first half = 30/3 = 10. Interest paid in second half = 20 × 2/5 = 8.

Thus, required percentage 25% more.

Direction for Q6-Q10

CAT sample Paper with Solution (Q6-Q10):

1696932933037

from (2) and (3), there is no one who owned laptop and tablet only and ten households own all the three. (∴ g = 10)

From (1), exactly one (a + b + c) = 30 and exactly two (d + e + f) = 20. Hence, n = 15.

From (4), a = b = (g – 1) = 9.

Hence, c = 12 Since f = 0, d + e = 20.

If e = k, then d = 20 – k

From (8), the number of households owning tablet must be an even number since f = 0, c = 12 and g = 10, e should also be even.

Let us say e = 2k, then d = 20 – 2k [from (8)], the number of households owning laptops increased by 60%. Hence it should be a multiple of 5 in 2015.

Thus, the conditions that the number of households that own laptop should be a multiple of 5 and the number of households owning tablets is an even number is possible only when k 2 or 7. If k = 2, the value for 2015 would be as follows.

1696932933504

Families without any device will be 15, so total of tablet will be 26

From (5), (6) and (7) for 2016 g = 30, exactly one (a + b + c) = 30 and exactly two (d + e + f) = 15.

Hence, n = 0.

It is given that no one purchased more than one device. Hence, the entire 20 i.e., exactly two of 2015 shifted to g in 2016. From (a), all those who owned only smart phone (9) of 2015 purchased tablets. Hence, ‘e’ for 2016 is atleast 9. Hence ‘d’ for 2016 should be atleast 6, comes from a of 2015. But the number of households owning laptop should be 160% of 35 i.e., 56. It means 17 should be added from a, which is not possible. Thus k cannot be 2. k must be 7.

1696932933370

Families without any device will be 15, so total of tablet will be 36

1696932933232

2016

Arrow indicates movements of devices towards house hold

The maximum value x can take is 6 (because 6-x cannot be negative)

Ans 6. The number of people owning laptops or tablets = 75 – (9 + 15) = 51.

Ans 7. The increase/decrease in the number of smart phone owners is 17.

Ans 8. The increase in the households that own only smart phones is 2.

Ans 9. Only laptop and smart phone ~ tablet and smart phone in 2015 = 24 – 6 = 18 In 2016 = 39 + x – 6 + x = 33 + 2x. ⇒ minimum = 33 maximum = 45 it is definitely higher in 2016. Ans: (2016)

Ans 10. From the venn diagram, 6 – x + x = 6 ∴ 6 households.

Part-C (VARC)

Reading comprehension

Some people shy away from travelling alone, a few embrace it. So, what is it that makes it an attractive option? What are the advantages of going it alone? Well first things first, travelling solo can be very liberating. The itinerary you set and all the decisions you make are yours and yours alone. You don't need to worry about any other person or group. In other words, there's no need to compromise, there are no arguments, and no need to second-guess what other people want or need. Actually, you can be completely selfish. Travelling alone is also a great confidence builder. Yes, at times it can feel a bit lonely, but that is just one of many problems you will have to solve yourself, along with making your own arrangements, and setting your own goals.

Have you noticed that when you’re on your own, people are more willing to start a conversation with you? You're more likely to take the initiative as well, and before you know it, up pops an invitation for a meal, a side trip, a stay at someone’s home. For some odd reason people keep a slight distance from couples and groups, probably because they seem so self-contained and exclusive. Whereas the lone traveler looks ready to connect with their fellow human beings, and more likely to engage in pleasant conversation and simple exchanges about their travels. Putting it simply, lone travelers look interesting.

Here are two more exciting reasons why you should consider travelling solo: You will find you learn language faster when you don’t have someone else talking to you in your own language all the time. It’s funny, but we interact, are forced to interact much more frequently when we travel alone in a country that doesn’t speak our native tongue. If that doesn't convince you, there is the chance for adventure and even romance. When you’re on your own you’re free to meet someone who might turn out to be very important in your life. The most important factor to consider in your decision to make a trip alone is your own sense of independence. If you find that you have little tolerance for the idiosyncrasies of others, or you don't get how group dynamics work, you might be happier travelling alone. Of course, there may be things holding you back: Fear of the unknown, or maybe you have a spouse, relative, or friend who may be upset by your decision to take off by yourself, you will have to convince them of the value of travelling alone and allay any fears they might have, but with the technology at our fingertips, you can include them in the adventure.

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.

Hello,

Yes, you can also join IIMs two years after graduation, depending upon the justification in interviews and your performance in entrance exams. If you are not sure about CAT, try those other management exams less hard:

Common Management Admission Test: Easier than CAT; 4-5 months of continuous preparation will suffice.

MAT : Much easier and takes place thrice a year.

SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test): A bit easier than CAT, apt for Symbiosis Institutes.

Xavier Aptitude Test or XAT : Hence, easier than CAT but the unique decision-making section.

Use exams like CMAT and MAT as a challenge to be competitively prepared. This can be given about 4-5 months, along with a few rounds of mock tests and smart studying.

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.
