Frustum of a Pyramid
Q1. CAT geometry mensuration questions on pyramids are given below:
The base of a regular pyramid is a square and each of the other four sides is an equilateral triangle, the length of each side being 20 cm. The vertical height of the pyramid, in cm, is [CAT 2019, Slot 2]
Ans: [1]
For better understanding, see the below diagram
Side of square = side of equilateral triangle = 20 cm.
Slant height (L) of pyramid = altitude or perpendicular bisector of the base of equilateral triangle
L = √(202+102) = 10√3 cm
So, from the diagram
L2 = h2 + 102
⇒ h2 = L2 - 102
⇒ h2 = 300 - 100
⇒ h = 10√2 cm
Q2. CAT menstruation questions on pyramids are given below:
A right circular cone, of height 12 ft, stands on its base which has a diameter of 8 ft. The tip of the cone is cut off with a plane which is parallel to the base and 9 ft from the base. With π = 22/7, the volume, in cubic ft, of the remaining part of the cone is: [CAT 2018, TITA]
Solutions for Pyramid questions for MBA entrance exams are given below:
Ans:
Volume of frustum = Volume of larger cone – Volume of smaller cone
Using the concept of similar triangle
(Radius of smaller cone)/(Radius of larger cone)= (height of smaller cone)/(height of larger cone)
⇒ Radius of smaller cone (3412)
⇒ Radius of smaller cone = 1 ft
So, Volume of frustum = π/3 (42 x 12 – 12 x 3) = 198 cubic ft

Tips and Tricks for Binary Logic CAT Questions through Previous Years Questions from the CAT/ MBA Entrance Exam
Q1. Binary Logic Examples with Questions and Answers are given below:
The EDI rounded up Riya, Aryan, and Shovik yesterday because one of them was suspected of keeping drugs. The 3 suspects gave the following statements after intensive questioning:
Riya: I’m innocent.
Aryan: I’m innocent.
Shovik: Aryan is the guilty one.
Who kept the drugs among the three persons, if only one of the statements will be true?

Last Date of Applications- 22nd April | 250+ Companies | Highest CTC 16 LPA | Average CTC 8 LPA | Ranked as Platinum Institute by AICTE for 6 years in a row
Solutions: [1]
Binary Logic Tip 1: Assume any of the given statements is truth and check the validity of the statement
Assume Shovik is a true-teller.
So, we can see that Shovik's statement of Shovik is correct. It also makes the statement given by Riya is also a truth and the statement made by Aryan is false.
So, 2 statements are correct which is a violation of the given condition.
Binary Logic Tip 2: Statement which was earlier assumed to a truth, consider it a false statement and check the validity of the statement
Statement of Shovik is considered a false statement.
It makes the statement of Aryan a true statement and the statement given by Riya is a false statement. Two statements are wrong in this case.
and the statement made by Aryan is false.
Therefore, Riya is the one who kept drugs.
Q2. CAT Binary Logic Questions and Answers are given below:
Mohan went to an Island on which there were three tribes of people. People from one of the tribes always spoke the truth. People from the second tribe always lied. People who belonged to the third tribe spoke the truth and lied alternately. The Island had only 3 fruits i.e. apple, mango and banana. Mohan found three people X, Y and Z asked them about their favourite fruits.
Their responses were as follows:
X: I like apples. Y likes mango
Y: Z likes mango. X likes bananas
Z: I like apples. X likes bananas
If it is known that X, Y and Z belonged to different tribes and each one of them liked a different fruit, then answer the following questions.
Who likes apples?
Solution: [b]
CAT Binary Logic Tip 1: Assume any of the persons is a truth teller and check the validity
Assume Y is a truth-teller (always speaks the truth).
Conclusion: Z likes mango; X likes bananas, so Y must like apples.
CAT Binary Logic Tip 2: let’s see if the statements by the other people validate or contradict our assumption.
X says I like apples (wrong) since we know that Y likes apples.
His second statement is that Y likes mangoes (wrong) since Y likes apples.
Since both statements of X are wrong, he must be a liar.
Now, see whether Z is an alternator or not:
Z’s first statement is wrong since Y likes apples.
Z’s second statement is that X likes bananas. This is true.
Hence our assumption is correct.
Final Conclusion:
Y (Likes Apple) is the truth-teller
Z (like mango) is the alternator
X (like bananas) is the liar.

CAT Exam Important Topic: Strategy to Prepare “Para-jumbles” (Part-2) for CAT
Sample/ Practice Questions on Para Jumbles for CAT/MBA Entrance Exams:
Direction: The four sentences (labelled A, B, C, D) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer:
Q1: CAT Parajumbles Questions with Solutions are given below:
The study suggests that the disease did not spread with such intensity, but that it may have driven human migrations across Europe and Asia.
The oldest sample came from an individual who lived in southeast Russia about 5,000 years ago.
The ages of the skeletons correspond to a time of the mass exodus from today's Russia and Ukraine into western Europe and central Asia, suggesting that a pandemic could have driven these migrations.
In the analysis of fragments of DNA from 101 Bronze Age skeletons for sequences from Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes the disease, seven tested positive.
DNA from Bronze Age human skeletons indicate that the black plague could have emerged as early as 3,000 BCE, long before the epidemic that swept through Europe in the mid-1300s.
54123
51243
12345
12435
Ans. Option A
Explanation: CAT Parajumbles Trick: Try to find starting statement (About phrase) and conclusion statement (Last statement)
Sentence 5 can be the best opening sentence. Sentence 5 talks about a DNA study and Sentence 4 explains the findings of the study. So, sentence 4 follows sentence 5. Sentence 1 also relates to the study—its conclusion. So, sentence 1 follows sentence 4. Both sentence 2 and sentence 3 relate to the ages of the skeletons tested. Sentence 3 is more general and a better concluding sentence than sentence 2, so sentence 3 follows sentence 2.
Q2: CAT Para jumbles Questions with Solutions are given below:
1. But now we have another group: the unwitting enablers.
2. Democracy and high levels of inequality of the kind that has come to characterize the United States are simply incompatible.
3. Believing these people are working for a better world, they are, actually, at most, chipping away at the margins, making slight course corrections, ensuring the system goes on as it is, uninterrupted.
4. Very rich people will always use the money to maintain their political and economic power.
2314
1234
2413
2431
Ans. Option C
Explanation:
CAT Parajumbles Trick: Statement 1 cannot be an opening statement (since starting with ‘but’)
Sentence 2 can be the best opening sentence. Sentence 4 explains sentence 2 and so sentence 4 follows sentence 2. Sentence 4 talks of ‘very rich people as a group, while sentence 1 talks of ‘another group’, the unwitting enablers. Hence, sentence 1 follows sentence 4. The reference to ‘these people in 3 could only be to the unwitting enablers. So, 3 can be the concluding sentence.
Q3: CAT Questions on Para jumbles with Solutions are given below:
Complex computational elements of the CNS are organized according to a “nested” hierarchic criterion; the organization is not permanent and can change dynamically from moment to moment as they carry out a computational task.
Echolocation in bats exemplifies adaptation produced by natural selection; a function not produced by natural selection for its current use is exaptation -- feathers might have originally arisen in the context of selection for insulation.
From a structural standpoint, consistent with exaptation, the living organism is organized as a complex of “Russian Matryoshka Dolls” -- smaller structures are contained within larger ones in multiple layers.
The exaptation concept, and the Russian-doll organization concept of living beings deduced from studies on the evolution of the various apparatuses in mammals, can be applied to the most complex human organ: the central nervous system (CNS).
2431
2341
4321
2143
Ans. Option B
Explanation:
CAT Para jumbles Questions Trick: Statement 3 cannot be an opening statement (Starting with ‘From’, seems the statement must lie somewhere in the middle of a passage)
Sentence 4 talks of various concepts being applied to the central nervous system. Sentence 1 is about the central nervous system. 4, however, is not the opening sentence of the paragraph, as it talks of the 'exaptation' concept and 'Russian doll organisation' concept, the meaning of which is not clear from 4. 2 explains what exaptation is and 3 what Russsian doll organisation is. So, 2341 is the right order.

Although, it's very unlikely that you will secure a seat in top ABM with CAT 67 percentile. Here's is a breakdown to your question:
· CAT Percentile vs. Score: A CAT score of 67 typically translates to a percentile in the range of 90-95 percentile based on the provided data from previous years. While this is a decent score overall, it falls short of the cutoffs for most top-tier ABM programs.
· Cutoffs for Top ABM Institutes:
· Overall Good CAT Score: Generally, a CAT percentile of 90 and above is considered a good score for securing admission to decent MBA programs in India. For top-tier institutes, a percentile of 95 and above is often preferred.
· MBA Colleges Accepting 60-70 Percentile: While there are MBA colleges that accept CAT scores in the 60-70 percentile range, these are generally not the top-ranked or most sought-after ABM programs. The focus of those lists is on general MBA programs, not specifically ABM.
While securing a seat in ABM can be tough, you can research about other colleges, consider other examinations, to improve your application profile.

Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query
Okay, so you're a bit confused about what to put in those CAT, FMS, DSE, and IIFT forms regarding your 12th scores. Since you did CBSE, they usually only consider your final 12th standard marks.
Even though you did great in 11th, scoring 495 out of 500, for these entrance exam forms, they're specifically asking about your 12th board exam marks .You mentioned you got 400 out of 500 in 12th, which comes out to 80%.
Therefore, when filling out the forms for CAT, FMS, DSE, and IIFT, you should enter 80% as your 12th percentage. The aggregate of 11th and 12th isn't typically what they're looking for in these sections. They want to know how you performed in your final board exams. So, stick with the 80% from your 12th results. Good luck with your applications!
Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query:-
