Free DI and LR - 08 Practice Test - CAT
Question 1
If the time in Greenwich is 9:00 PM on Monday, then what will be the corresponding time in the country F.
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Longitude of the country F with respect to Greenwich => (50−20) = 30∘E
Time increment from GMT to the country F = 30×4 = 120 min = 2 hr.
Therefore, corresponding time in the country F with respect to Greenwich is 11:00 PM on Monday.
Question 2
If there is a country G which is 2 hours ahead of C, then what will be its longitude with reference to the Greenwich?
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Option C is the correct answer.
Question 3
A person catches a flight from country A at 11:00 AM on Sunday and the flight takes exactly 2 hours to reach F. At what time will the person reach country F?
SOLUTION
Solution : C
As there is no difference between the longitudes of countries A & F so the time difference will be zero. He will reach F at 1: 00 PM on Sunday.
Question 4
A person takes a flight from country B to country D. How much time will it take for an aeroplane to complete the journey?
SOLUTION
Solution : D
The time taken to fly from countries B to country D will depend upon the speed of the aeroplane. Hence,the answer cannot be determined.
Question 5
If the points rewarded are 1806, how many gulab jamuns did Ratna eat?
SOLUTION
Solution : D
First we need to assign a category for the value 1806, by trial and error = 301 to 400 category. Let x be the no. of gulab jamuns
6x-300= 1806
x=21066=351hence, the answer is none of these
Question 6
A & B of Blue team ate 221 and 431 Gulab jamuns respectively. C &D of Green team ate 200 and 321 Gulab jamuns respectively. What is the difference in the points rewarded between the two teams?
SOLUTION
Solution : A
A makes 221(5)-200 and B makes 431(7)-500. total= 3422
C makes 200(4)-150 and D makes 321(6)-300. total = 2276
Difference= 1146
Question 7
If Shaila’s capacity is 250-450 Gulab Jamuns then what is difference in the minimum and maximum points she can obtain ?
SOLUTION
Solution : E
Option E is the correct answer.
Question 8
What is the maximum difference in the number of points between any 2 people having consecutive number of jamuns?
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Lets consider all possible cases
100-101= 150-203=53
150-151= 350-454= 104
200-201=650-805=155
….
500-501=3000-4010=1010
Which is the maximum possible.
Question 9
A & B are at a tie at 260 points. There are 5 mins left for the competition to end. Assuming that B eats at the rate of 5 GJ/min from now on, at what rate should A eat Gulab Jamuns to win by 135 points?
SOLUTION
Solution : B
B eats at the rate of 5 GJ/min means that in 5 mins he eats 25 Gjs. Now
260 points = 120 jamuns
another 25 jamus= 145 jamuns
points= 335
to win by 35 points, A needs to have 470 points, that accounts for 120 + 35 jamuns
rate= 1355 = 7 GJ/min
Question 10
How much money did Disha win in all?
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Back calculating, we can find out the initial amount Disha started out with = 500 rupees
In round 1,She puts in 15th of the amount= 100 rupees, which she loses and she has 500-100=400 rupees at the end of this round

In round 3, She puts in 15th of the amount= 160 rupees, which she loses and she has 800-160=640 rupees at the end of this round
In round 4, she invests the entire amount= 640 rupees and makes twice the amount= 1280 rupees
In round 5, She puts in 15th of the amount= 256 rupees, which she loses and she has 1280-256=1024 rupees at the end of this round
Finally left with 1024 rupees
Totally she has made = 1024-500= 524 rupees
