Common Admission Test
Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The world of social media is a strange and wondrous place. It's a world where you can connect with people from all over the globe, share your thoughts and opinions, and maybe even go viral if you're lucky. But let's be real, it's also a world filled with endless cat videos, oversharing, and drama. One of the most interesting things about social media is the way it's changed the way we communicate. We've gone from long, thoughtful emails to quick, abbreviated messages with emojis and acronyms. And don't even get me started on the whole hashtag phenomenon. It's like we're all speaking a different language now. But there are also some downsides to this constant connection. It's easy to get sucked into the world of social media and forget about the real world around us. We're so busy scrolling through our feeds that we forget to enjoy the little moments in life. And let's not forget about the pressure to present the perfect life online. It's like we're all in a competition to see who can be the most popular, the most successful, the most enviable. Despite all of this, I have to admit, I'm still a fan of social media. It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family, and I've even made some new friends through various online communities. Plus, let's face it, sometimes you just need a good laugh at a ridiculous meme. Question: What is the ANTONYM of the word ‘perfect’, as used in the passage?

Option 1: CLM
Option 2: CML
Option 3: CEP
Option 4: CLL
Correct Answer: CLL
Solution : Given: CAT : DDY :: BIG : ?
Add consecutive odd numbers to the place value of each letter of CAT to get the desired code – C + 1 = D; A + 3 = D; T + 5 = Y Thus, CAT is coded as DDY. Similarly, follow the same pattern for BIG – B + 1 = C; I + 3 = L; G + 5 = L
Thus, BIG is coded as CLL. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Hi!
Congratulations on securing 89.27 percentile in CAT. As stated, 89.27 is a good score but you will not able to apply for many of the good colleges as these colleges consider sectional cutoffs as one of the major components while shortlisting candidates for the GDPI process and for the final selection. 32.46 percentile in VARC section is below par score and will not fetch you a call from many of the business schools despite having a good overall percentile. As you have not mentioned your category, I am assuming that you belong to the general category (If you belong to the reserved category, you might get an Interview call from some of the colleges depending upon their selection criteria).
Therefore, I will suggest you to for the business schools which do not give consideration to the sectional percentile and emphasize on the overall percentile. Some of the good business schools that you can target based on your overall CAT percentile are given below:
The list given above is non-exhaustive, candidates can get to know about all the colleges having no sectional CAT cutoffs .
Question : Directions: If CAT is coded as 3120, then what code can be given to NAVIN?

Write the position value of each letter of CAT, to get the required code – C→3, A→1; T→20 Thus, CAT is coded as 3120. Similarly, follow the same pattern for NAVIN→ N→14; A→1; V→22; I→9; N→14
So, NAVIN is coded as 14122914. Hence, the first option is correct.

Correct Answer: The kids brutally chased the poor cat.

Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.
The structure of the active voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Subject + adverb + past form of the verb + singular object."
Therefore, the correct answer is: "The kids brutally chased the poor cat."
