Ans: (d)

y = z (Angle made by the same arc on the same side of the circle are equal)

x = 2y (Angle made by an arc at centre is double of the angle made by the same arc on the same side of the circle)

So,

x- (y+ z) = 0

Ans: (a)

⦟ADC = 180 - ⦟ABC (ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral)

⦟ADC = 180 - ⦟ABC = 180 – 88 = 920

⦟BQC = 180 - ⦟ADC - ⦟A (sum of all angles of a triangle is 1800)

⦟BQC = 180 – 92 – 72 = 160

Q3. If ABC is a quarter circle of radius 1 cm and a circle is inscribed in it, find the radius of the smaller circle inscribed.

– 1+2√2
1/2
– 1+ √2
1 – √2

Ans: [D]

OB = 1 – radius of inscribed circle

1695355288555

Dimensions will be as shown in the figure;

r² + r² = (1-r)²

2r² = 1 + r² – 2r

r² + 2r – 1 = 0

On solving; r = (√2 – 1) cm

Q4. How many isosceles triangles (having integral length) are possible if the sum of two of its sides is 10?

Ans: (B)

Case 1: Sum of two equal sides = 10

Sides of the triangle should be 5, 5, a

Also, a < (5+ 5)

⇒ a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] ? 9 possible triangles are there.

Case 2: Sum of two unequal sides = 10

Sides of the triangle should be a, a, 10- a

a + a > 10- a and a < 10

3a > 10

a > 10/3 but less than 10; So, a can be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

If a =5 then other sides will also be 5 and 5. This case is already taken in Case1.

Here, five such triangles are possible.

Therefore, the answer is 9+ 5 = 14.

Q5. An equilateral triangle of side 6 cm, has its corners cut away to form a hexagon with all sides equal. Then the length of each side of the hexagon, in cms, is

2√2
1/2
2
√2

Ans: [c]

1695355288794

A regular Hexagon PQRSTUV is formed as shown in the figure.

Interior angle of a regular hexagon = 1200

So, ⦟ ATS = ⦟AST = 180- 120 = 600

This makes triangle ATS an equilateral triangle

⇒ AT = TS = AS

Also, TS = TU = UP

From this we can say, sides of Triangle ABC is cut in such a way that

Side of regular Hexagon = Side of triangle /3 = 6/3 = 2 cm.

Q6. D, E, and F are the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively of an equilateral triangle ABC. Determine the ratio of the perimeter and area of triangle DEF.

1: 4
1: 2
2: 3
4√3: 1

Ans: [D]

Let the side of triangle ABC = 2 cm.

Then, side of triangle DEF = 1 cm; Area = 34 cm2; Perimeter = 1x 3 = 3 cm.

Perimeter(DEF)Area (DEF)= 3 3/4 = 4√3: 1

Q7. One card is picked from the deck of cards which turned out to be red. What is the probability of it being a face card?

3/13
3/26
1/13
2/13

Ans: [a]

Total Outcome = 26 (Red Cards)

Possible outcomes = 6 (face cards of red colour)

Probability = 6/26 = 3/13

CAT Online Practice Paper Part B: LRDI (Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation) CAT previous year question paper

Data Sufficiency (Q1-Q3):

Direction:

Statement I alone is sufficient to answer this question but statement II is not sufficient to answer this question.
Statement II alone is sufficient to answer this question but statement I is not sufficient to answer this question.
None is sufficient to answer this question.
Both statements together are sufficient to answer this question

Q1. On which day Sumit goes to Delhi?

Statement I: According to Sumit’s sister Sumit goes to Delhi after Tuesday and before Sunday but he did not go to Delhi on Thursday.

Statement II: According to Sumit’s father Sumit goes to Delhi after Monday and before Saturday.

Ans: [C]

Statement I:

Using the given information we can say that Sumit goes on to trip on one of the days Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. Hence, data in statement I alone is not sufficient.

Statement II:

Using the given information we can say that Sumit can go on to trip on any of the days among Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Hence, data in statement II alone is also not sufficient.

Combining statements I and II:

From Statement I, we figured out that Sumit goes on to trip on one of the days Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

From Statement II, we figured out that Sumit can go on to trip on any of the days among Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

After, compiling the above information we can say that Sumit goes to Delhi on either Wednesday or Friday.

Hence, data in statements I and II together are not sufficient.

Q2. How is Sonal definitely related to Pramila?

Statement I: Sonal's mother is the sister of Pramila's father.

Statement II: Pramila is the daughter of Sonal's grandfather's only son.

Ans: [C]

Statement I: Sonal's mother is the sister of Pramila's father.

Here, we can observe that a direct relationship between Sonal and Pramila can't be established as Sonal's gender is not known. Clearly, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II: Pramila is the daughter of Sonal's grandfather's only son.

Here, a direct relationship between Sonal and Pramila can't be established as it's not given as Sonal's paternal or maternal grandfather is being referred to here. Because of this, the statement stays ambiguous.

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Combining Statements, I and II:

Statement I: Sonal's mother is the sister of Pramila's father.

Statement II: Pramila is the daughter of Sonal's grandfather's only son.

Even if we combine the two statements above, we do not get the gender of Sonal and therefore statements I and II together are not sufficient to reach the answer.

Q3. Five persons – Arun, Bimal, Chaman, Deepak and Eshan, each earn a different amount of money. Who among these persons earns the second highest?

Statement I: Only Chaman earns more than Bimal.

Statement II: Deepak and Eshan earn less than Arun.

Ans: [A]

Statement I: Only Chaman earns more than Bimal.

After using the above references, we have

Order of Earnings:

Chaman > Bimal > ____ > ____ > ____

Here, we can say that Bimal earns the second highest.

Clearly, Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II: Deepak and Eshan earn less than Arun.

After using the above references, we have

Order of Earnings:

Arun > Deepak/Eshan

Here, we have no sure information about the earnings of any of these persons.

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Here, the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Direction: (Q4- Q6)

India, Pakistan, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan and China are to take part in the Asian Hockey Championship. In the first round, each team plays each of the other teams exactly once. At this stage, two points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss. After all the matches are played, the top two teams, in terms of the points scored, advance to the finals. In case two or more teams end up with the same number of points, the team with a better goal difference is placed higher.

Q4. The total number of matches in the tournament is

Ans: [D]

The total number of matches in the tournament = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 (finals) = 16

Q5. What is the minimum number of points with which a team can advance to the finals?

Ans: [C]

The minimum number of points would be required when one of the teams scores the maximum points and the remaining teams equally share all the remaining points. Total points available = 15 × 2 = 30; Maximum points for a team = 5 × 2 = 10. The remaining 20 points can be shared by all five teams, and one of those teams with four points would advance to the finals on the basis of the goal difference.

Q6. What is the maximum number of points that can be scored by a team, which failed to advance to the finals?

Ans: [A]

The worst-case scenario for a team happens when three teams score the highest points and one of those teams is eliminated. Points scored by the last three teams (points only among themselves) = 6; remaining points = 24. These points can be shared by the teams, and one of the teams with 8 points could be eliminated on the basis of goal difference.

Direction: (Q7- Q9)

128 players take part in a Grand Slam tennis tournament. The tournament is scheduled to be held in seven rounds and in each round, in a match between two players, the winner advances to the next round and the loser is eliminated. There are no draws or byes in the tournament. The players who take part in the tournament are seeded from 1 to 128, with seed 1 being the top seed, seed 2 next and so on. The matches are scheduled in such a way that in any round, assuming there are no upsets, the highest-seeded player plays against the lowest-seeded player at that point, the next highest-seeded player always plays against the next lowest-seeded player and so on. An upset is said to happen when a lower-seeded player beats a higher-seeded player. The schedule of matches in the next round remains unchanged in case of an upset in a round, with the only difference being that the player who caused the upset advances to the next round and takes the designated place of the player he upset.

Q7. In case of no upsets in the tournament, in which round would the player seeded 10 faces a player seeded higher than him?

2nd round
3rd round
4th round
5th round

Ans: [C]

A player seeded 10, assuming no upsets is expected to reach the last 16 stages, i.e., the fourth round. In this round, he would face the player seeded 7 and would be eliminated.

Q8. How many players in the tournament won exactly one match?

15
24
30
None of these

Ans: [D]

The players who won exactly one match are those who won the first round but lost in the second round, i.e., 64 – 32 = 32 players.

Q9. Assuming no upsets, which player beat seed No.25?

Seed 8
Seed 6
Seed 1
Seed 14

Ans: [A]

The player seeded 25 would have lost to the player seeded 8.

Questions related to CAT

Have a question related to CAT ?

i uploaded certificate number instead of serial number of category in my cat application. will it affect my admission or exam(nullification of my admit card)??

Hello Student,
Uploading the certificate number instead of the serial number of your category certificate in the CAT application may not immediately nullify your admit card or affect your admission. However, discrepancies in the application form could cause issues later during the verification process, especially at the time of admission.

To avoid potential problems:
Contact CAT authorities: It's best to reach out to CAT helpdesk or authorities via their official helpline or email. Explain the error and ask for guidance on correcting it.
Check for correction windows : CAT sometimes provides a correction window after the application process closes, allowing applicants to fix errors like these.
Document the issue: Keep records of any communications with the authorities regarding this issue, in case it needs to be referenced later.

By addressing it early, you can reduce the risk of complications during the admission process.
Thankyou.

Iam an BC-d reserved candidate and an resident of telangana and had done my mbbs from AP Can I claim my local status in ap now and if I could then can I claim my bc-d status in AP now or will I be only eligible for open cat seats of AP ?

Hey there! Welcome to the Careers360 team. That's quite a specific situation you've got there - let me see if I can help break it down for you.

So, you're from Telangana, did your MBBS in AP, and now you're wondering about your status in AP, right? It's a bit of a tricky one, to be honest. The local status and reservation policies can get pretty complicated, especially when you're crossing state lines.

From what I understand, your local status in AP might be a bit dicey since you're originally from Telangana. As for the BC-D reservation, that's even trickier because each state has its own list and criteria.

Here's what I think, but take it with a grain of salt:

1. Your local status in AP: This might depend on how long you've been in AP and if you meet their residency requirements. You'd need to check the specific rules for AP.

2. BC-D status in AP: Even if you get local status, your BC-D certificate from Telangana might not directly apply in AP. Each state has its own backward classes list.

3. Open category: If neither of the above works out, you might indeed have to go for the open category seats in AP.

But listen, don't take my word as gospel. These rules can be super complex and change often. Your best bet would be to check with the AP medical education department or maybe the AP Public Service Commission. They'll have the most up-to-date info.

Also, why not chat with some of the seniors here at Careers360? They might have dealt with similar cases before and could have some insider tips. You can also have a look at our College Predictor for more details.

Let me know if you want to bounce around some ideas on how to get more concrete info on this. We could make it a little project - might be useful for other students too!

I have completed my degree this year and I filled the CAT 2024 form with the last marksheet's CGPA that I received but now I have received my final CGPA. Should I fill a new form with final cgpa or can I change my cgpa during admission calls?

Unfortunately, you cannot change your CGPA after submitting the CAT 2024 form. The information provided in the form is final and cannot be modified.

While some institutions might allow you to update your CGPA during the admission process, this is not always the case. It's best to assume that the information you provided in the CAT form will be the basis for your application.

If your final CGPA is significantly higher than what you initially reported, you might want to consider retaking the CAT exam in the future. This will give you a chance to improve your score and provide a more accurate representation of your academic abilities. However, this is a decision that should be made carefully, as it will require additional time and effort.

It's important to consult with the admissions offices of the institutions you're interested in to determine their specific requirements and policies regarding CGPA updates. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information.

My course bachelor in prosthetic and orthotic is of 4.5 years but in CAT exam only 4 Yr and 5 Yr option is available .... What should I fill in that ???

Hello Student,
For the CAT (Common Admission Test) exam form, when asked about your education status, you typically have two options:

1. Completed Graduation: This option is for students who have completed all requirements of their undergraduate degree, including passing the final exams and completing any mandatory internships or practical training.

2. Pursuing Graduation: This option is for students who are still in the process of completing their degree requirements, including pending internships, final projects, or exams.

Since you have passed your final exams but have not yet completed the mandatory internship, you should choose the option "Pursuing Graduation." This accurately reflects that your degree requirements are still in progress due to the incomplete internship.
Thankyou. I hope this information helped you

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.
