CAT Questions

Number of pages typed by Adam in 1 hour = 36/6 = 6
Number of pages typed by Smith in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8
Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (6 + 8) = 14
Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (120 * 1/14) = 847 = 8 hrs 34 min.

Number of questions = 5
Possibilities of choices for each question 1 to 5 respectively = 4, 4, 4, 6, 6

Reuired total number of sequences

= 4 x 4 x 4 x 6 x 6

= 2304.

Here the puzzle follows the logic that

Right side number = sum of the number on the left side and the previous number on the left side

=> 6 = 4+2

=> 10 = 6+4

=> ? = 16+10 = 26.

Silence is what is so delicate that even mentioning it breaks it.

In the given puzzle, the logic behind is

9 = 72 => 9 x 8 = 72

8 = 56 => 8 x 7 = 56

7 = 42 => 7 x 6 = 42

6 = 30 => 6 x 5 = 30

5 = 20 => 5 x 4 = 20

Similarly,

4 = 12 => 4 x 3 = 12

3 = 6 => 3 x 2 = 6

The given series follow the rule that :

Multiplying consecutive prime numbers
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19....
2x3 = 6
3x5 = 15
5x7 = 35
7x11 = 77
11x13 = 143
13x17 = 221
So, the wrong term is 165.

K x 3/8 = 141 => K = 376

376 x 32.08/100 = 120
