Edited By Irshad Anwar | Updated on Sep 20, 2024 01:26 PM IST | #CAT

In previous article 5, we discussed the strategy on how to prepare the Factors and Trailing zeroes, table (DI), conjunction and interjection - Day 5 of CAT preparation on the basis of the CAT syllabus. We have covered a major part of the number system questions for CAT under the CAT syllabus which includes HCF and LCM questions for CAT. The remaining number system topics for CAT will be covered in the upcoming articles. HCF and LCM CAT questions are also considered a good major chunk of CAT quants section which the students should revise. We are back with the strategic plan for Day 6 to propel our preparation to crack CAT-2024. In this article, we will be discussing strategy for the following topics along with CAT number system questions based on HCF and LCM questions for CAT. The topics in number system for CAT are very vast and need constant practice.

CAT Number System, HCF & LCM Questions, LR & DI| Day 6
CAT Number System, HCF & LCM Questions, LR & DI| Day 6

Part-1: Quantitative Aptitude for CAT 2024

Topic: Number System questions for CAT (HCF and LCM CAT questions) Highest Common Factor (HCF and LCM / GCD):

HCF is the highest common divisor which divides two (or more) numbers completely.

For Example,

12 is HCF of 36 and 48.

17 is HCF of 340 and 357

3 x 22 is LCM of (3x 24 and 33 x 22)

The most common ways of finding HCF are

Prime Factorization Method:

Eg: To find HCF of 27 and 36

27 = 33

36 = 22 x 32

HCF = 32

Division Method:

Eg: To find HCF of 27 and 36

Divide 36 by 27; the remainder is 9

Divide 27 by 9; the remainder is 0.

(This process is repeated till the remainder is 0)

Least Common Multiple (LCM):

The least value which is divisible by two or more values completely, is LCM.

For Example:

72 is LCM of 8 and 9.

2184 is LCM of 8, 13 and 21.

33 x 24 is LCM of (3x 24 and 33 x 22)

The most common way of finding LCM is

Prime Factorization Method:

Eg: To find LCM of 27 and 36

27 = 33

36 = 22 x 32

LCM = 22 x 33

HCF and LCM questions, CAT Number System Questions From CAT Previous Year Papers/ HCF and LCM questions for CAT exam

The two previous year CAT questions on number system (HCF and LCM)are given below:

Q1. How many pairs of positive integers x, y exist such that HCF of x, y = 18 and product of x and y = 1620? [ CAT Question Paper]

  1. 2

  2. 8

  3. 1

  4. 3

Solution: C

Let the two numbers be 18a and 18b where a and b are co-prime numbers.

Also, 18a x 18b = 1620

So, a x b = 1620/ (18 x 18) = 5

Therefore, (a, b) = (1, 5); the only possible pair in a and b.

Q2. A red light flashes three times per minute and a green light flashes five times in 2 min at regular intervals. If both lights start flashing at the same time, how many times do they flash together in each hour? [CAT Question Paper ]

  1. 30

  2. 24

  3. 20

  4. 60

ICFAI Business School-IBSAT 2024

9 IBS Campuses | Scholarships Worth Rs 10 CR

Great Lakes - PGPM & PGDM 2025

Admissions Open | Globally Recognized by AACSB (US) & AMBA (UK) | 17.3 LPA Avg. CTC for PGPM 2024

Solution: A

Red light flashes after every 60/3=20 sec

Green light flashes after every 120/5=24 sec

Both lights will flash together if the multiples of flushing times are common

i.e. LCM (20,24) =120 sec = 2min

Thus, both lights will flash together at intervals of 120 sec= 2 minute

In 1 hour, both lights flash together 60/2 = 30 times.

Tips On CAT Preparation For Number System (HCF and LCM ):

  • The smallest number which when divided by a, b and c leaves a remainder R in each case then the number will be (L.C.M of a, b, c) + R.

  • The greatest number which divides a, b and c to leave the remainder R is H.C.F of (a – R), (b – R) and (c – R)

  • The greatest number which divide x, y, z to leave remainders a, b, c respectively is

  • H.C.F of (x – a), (y – b) and (z – c)

  • LCM of (a/b, c/d, e/f) = LCM (a, c, e)/ HCF (b, d, f)

  • HCF of (a/b, c/d, e/f) = HCF (a, c, e)/ LCM (b, d, f)

  • Practise different kinds of problems.

  • HCF of a and b × LCM of a and b = a × b

  • Apply the concepts to practise HCF and LCM questions.

  • Practise previous year CAT questions on number systems and LCM and HCF problems.

Part-2: Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation

Topic: Data Interpretation (Spider/ Radar Graph)

In previous articles-Day 5, strategies for DI based on Bar graph, Pie chart, Table graph and Line graph have been discussed. A different kind of DI on spiders will be discussed in this article for the CAT exam. Data interpretation is a must-come topic in the CAT Exam and other management entrance exams.

DI on Spider (Radar) Graph

It consists of equiangular spokes and each spoke represents one variable. These charts contain 0 at its centre.

1695127996344

This is a spider chart for 5 variables.

A=70

B=58

C=5

D=15

E=25

Blue line shows the value of a commodity on 5 different parameters.

Questions Based On Spider Graph From CAT Previous Year Papers

Five vendors are being considered for a service. The evaluation committee evaluated each vendor on six aspects – Cost, Customer Service, Features, Quality, Reach, and Reliability.

Each of these evaluations are on a scale of 0 (worst) to 100 (perfect). The evaluation scores on these aspects are shown in the radar chart. For example, Vendor 1 obtains a score of 52 on Reliability, Vendor 2 obtains a score of 45 on Features and Vendor 3 obtains a score of 90 on Cost. [CAT Question Paper 2019- slot 1]

1695127996804

Q1. On which aspect is the median score of the five vendors the least?

  1. Customer Service

  2. Cost

  3. Reliability

  4. Quality

Ans: (1)

The median is the mid-value. For all six parameters median is as follows:

Reliability=52-53

Reach=65

Quality=62

Features=55

Customer Service = 50 (least)

Cost =75

Q2. A vendor's final score is the average of their scores on all six aspects. Which vendor has the highest final score?

  1. Vendor 1

  2. Vendor 2

  3. Vendor 3

  4. Vendor 4

Ans: (2)

Total Score of Vendors:

Vendor 1 = (52+ 80+ 73+ 40 + 55 + 75) = 375

Vendor 2 = (40+ 58+ 70+ 45 + 42 + 80) = 335

Vendor 3 = (75+ 66+ 60+ 50+ 55+ 90) = 396

Vendor 4 = (25+ 45+ 40+ 90+ 70+ 70) = 340

Vendor 3 has the highest total and hence the highest average.

Q3. A list of all the vendors who are among the top three vendors on all six aspects is?

  1. None of the Vendors

  2. Vendor 1

  3. Vendor 3

  4. Vendor 1 and Vendor 3

Ans: (3)

Vendors in top 3 in each aspect:

Reliability = Vendor 3, Vendor 5 and Vendor 1

Reach = Vendor 1, Vendor 5, Vendor 3

Quality = Vendor 1, Vendor 2, Vendor 3

Features= Vendor 4, Vendor 5, Vendor 3

Customer Service = Vendor 4, Vendor 1, Vendor 3

Cost = Vendor 3, Vendor 2, Vendor 1

Clearly only vendor 3 appears in all the three.

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.

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.
