Countdown to CAT

The Common Admission Test (CAT), which one needs to clear for a coveted seat in any of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other B-schools in India, will be held over 20 days between October 27 and November 23, 2010 with breaks for Diwali. Given the technical glitches in last year’s exam, most students are apprehensive as to what lies in store for them this year. However, the technical goof-ups may or may not happen this year, but the following tips are likely to help students maximise their performance in the exam.

GET READY

Appearing for the CAT on the computer is substantially different from appearing for it in the paper-and-pencil-mode. For instance, it is much tougher to read large quantities of text in the reading comprehension section on the computer than in an exam booklet. Similarly, interpreting graphs and tables on the screen is tougher than on paper, where you can scribble and make notes. Thus, it is crucial that you are prepared to appear for the test on the computer. It is fine to work with paper and pen during the initial stages of practice, but in the final run up, i.e. beginning mid-September, you should practice tests only on the computer.

IIM Common Admission Test (CAT) 2010

  • New Registrations opens on 30th August 2010
    CAT2010 :     Wednesday 27 Oct. to Wednesday 24 Nov.

CAT Eligibility:

The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA)categories], awarded by any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.

The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the conversion of grades/CGPA to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the university/ institution from where they have obtained the bachelor's degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100.

Candidates appearing for the final year of bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting results can also apply. IIMs may verify eligibility at various stages of the selection process, the details of which are provided at Selection Process of IIMs.

Further, if a candidate is selected for a programme, original degree certificate and mark sheets of all semesters/years along with their attested copies must be submitted for verification at the time of joining the programme.

Reservation Category Requirements
If short-listed for interview, SC, ST, NC-OBC, and DA candidates must show the original caste/class/disability certificate and submit a photocopy at the time of interview. Further, if a candidate is selected for a programme, original certificate of qualifying degree and attested copy of the same must be submitted for verification at the time of joining a programme.

Candidates in the Final Year of Graduation
If short-listed for interview, candidates appearing for the final bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification examination must show an original certificate from the Principal/Registrar/Director of the university/institution certifying that the candidate has obtained 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of the candidates belonging to SC, ST, and DA category) based on latest available grades/marks.

Algebra

1. A poultry farm has only chickens and pigs. When the manager of the poultry counted the heads of the stock in the farm, the number totaled up to 200. However, when the number of legs was counted, the number totaled up to 540. How many chickens were there in the farm?

  1. 70
  2. 120
  3. 60
  4. 130
  5. 80

The correct choice is (4) and the correct answer is 130.

Explanatory Answer:
Let there by 'x' chickens and 'y' pigs.
Therefore, x + y = 200 --- (1)
Each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4 legs
Therefore, 2x + 4y = 540 --- (2)
Solving equations (1) and (2), we get x = 130 and y = 70.
There were 130 chickens and 70 pigs in the farm.
 

2. Three years back, a father was 24 years older than his son. At present the father is 5 times as old as the son. How old will the son be three years from now?

  1. 12 years
  2. 6 years
  3. 3 years
  4. 9 years
  5. 27 years

The correct choice is (4) and the correct answer is 9 years.

Explanatory Answer:
Let the age of the son 3 years back be x years
Therefore, the age of the father 3 years back was x + 24
At present the age of the son is x + 3 and the father is 5 times as old as the son.
i.e., x + 24 + 3 = 5(x + 3)
i.e., x + 27 = 5x + 15
or 4x = 12 or x = 3.

Therefore, the son was 3 years old 3 years back and he will be 9 years old three years from now.

3. For what values of 'k' will the pair of equations 3x + 4y = 12 and kx + 12y = 30 not have a unique solution?

  1. 12
  2. 9
  3. 3
  4. 7.5
  5. 2.5

The correct choice is (2) and the correct answer is 9.

Explanatory Answer:
A system of linear equations ax + by + c = 0 and dx + ey + g = 0 will have a unique solution if the two lines represented by the equations ax + by + c = 0 and dx + ey + g = 0 intersect at a point.

That is, if they are not parallel lines. i.e., the two lines should have different slopes.
ax + by + c = 0 and dx + ey + g = 0 will not represent two parallel lines if their slopes are different.
i.e., when a/d not equal to b/e
In the question given above, a = 3, b = 4, d = k and e = 12.
Therefore, k not equal to 9 or 'k' should not be equal 9 for the pair of equations to have a unique solution.

In other words, when k = 9, the system of equation will not have any solution as the two lines represented by the equations will be parallel lines.

4. The basic one-way air fare for a child aged between 3 and 10 years costs half the regular fare for an adult plus a reservation charge that is the same on the child's ticket as on the adult's ticket. One reserved ticket for an adult costs $216 and the cost of a reserved ticket for an adult and a child (aged between 3 and 10) costs $327. What is the basic fare for the journey for an adult?

  1. $111
  2. $52.5
  3. $210
  4. $58.5
  5. $6

The correct choice is (3) and the correct answer is $210.

Verbal Reasoning

Tips to solve facts, inference and judgment questions are:

Always work with answer options: Locate a statement that is definitely a Fact or a Judgement, then eliminate the options that do not classify it as such.

Words that are used in the comparative or the superlative degree often qualify statements as Inferences. For example highest, taller, largest, heaviest etc can only be arrived at after verifying data, hence the statements involved are inferences.

Identify where the emphasis is in the sentence structure. It is possible that the latter part of a statement may be a Fact but the emphasis is on the former part which is a Conclusion derived from that Fact. Clearly, such a statement qualifies as an Inference.

Statements that use a lot of adjectives and adverbs; words like 'should', 'must,' 'only' , 'never', 'always', 'all' etc. have a tendency to be Judgements.

Examples

Instructions: Classify each of the statements into:

F. Facts, which deal with the pieces of information that one has heard, seen or read, and which are open to discovery or verification or
I. Inferences, which are conclusions drawn about unknown, on the basis of the known or
J. Judgements, which are opinions that imply approval or disapproval of persons, objects, situations and occurrences in the past, the present or the future.

1. Given the poor quality of service in the public sector, the HIV/AIDS affected should be switching to private initiatives that supply anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) at a low cost.

2. The government has been supplying free drugs since 2004, and 35000 have benefited upto now - though the size of the affected population is 150 times this number.

3. The recent initiatives of networks and companies like AIDSCare Network, Emcure, Reliance-Cipla-CII, would lead to availability of much-needed drugs to a larger number of affected people.

Data Interpretation Basics

Data Interpretation for understand the data presented in different forms like bar graphs, tables, charts, line graphs etc. The questions are given with a set of data and candidate is required to deduce the required results from the data set.

Basic graph types

A bar chart or bar graph is a chart with rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that they represent. Bar charts are used for comparing two or more values that were taken over time or on different conditions, usually on small data sets. The bars can be horizontally oriented (also called bar chart) or vertically oriented (also called column chart). Sometimes a stretched graphic is used instead of a solid bar. It is a visual display used to compare the amount or frequency of occurrence of different characteristics of data and it is used to compare groups of data.

A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating relative magnitudes or frequencies. In a pie chart, the arc length of each sector (and consequently its central angle and area), is proportional to the quantity it represents. Together, the sectors create a full disk. It is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been sliced.

A linear equation is an equation whose graph is a straight line. A linear equation in one variable is an equation that simlpy involves x. A linear equation is any equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0. There are no terms involving x2, x3, x1/2 etc. Each term has a degree of at most 1. All operations, such as addition or multiplication, involve only x and numerical constants. 3x + 4 = 5 is an example of a linear equation. 2(x+1) = 6(x-4) is also a linear equation. These equations can be solved very easily by performing algebraic operations to the equation to isolate x.

A linear equation in two variables is, as the name suggests, an equation that involves 2 variables. The standard form of this type of equation is Ax + By = C, where A,B and C are real numbers. For example, 3x + y = 7 is a linear equation in two variables. y = 2x + 1/3 is also an example, since it can be rewritten as 2x - y = -1/3 ( or equivalently 6x - 3y = -1 ).

Linear equation in one variable properties.

1. If a = b then a+c = b+c.

2. If a = b then a -c = b-c.

3. If a = b then ac = bc.

4. If a=b then a/b = b/c.

Linear equations in two variables can also be expressed in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

The slope of a line, represented by the variable m, is defined as the ratio of change in values of y to change in value of x. The slope is also known as rise over run. For any two points (x1 ,y1), (x2 ,y2) on a line L, the formula for calculating the slope of L is:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Two lines are parallel if they have equal slopes. Parallel lines never cross each other. The distance between two parallel lines is always the same for every point along the lines.

Two lines are perpendicular, meaning their angle of intersection is 90°, if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. For lines L1 and L2 with slopes m1 and m2, respectively,

(Paper) Quantitative Aptitude (Problems on Time and Work)

in

Quantitative Aptitude - Problems on Time and Work

1. If A can do a piece of work in n days, then A’s 1 day work = 1/n

2. If A’s 1 day’s work = 1/n, then A can finish the work in n days.
Example: If A can do a piece of work in 4 days,then A’s 1 day’s work = 1/4. If A’s 1 day’s work = 1/5, then A can finish the work in 5 days

3. If A is thrice as good workman as B,then: Ratio of work done by A and B = 3:1. Ratio of time taken by A and B to finish a work = 1:3

4. Definition of Variation: The change in two different variables follow some definite rule. It said that the two variables vary directly or inversely. Its notation is X/Y = k, where k is called constant. This variation is called direct variation. XY = k. This variation is called inverse variation.

5. Some Pairs of Variables:
1. Number of workers and their wages. If the number of workers increases, their total wages increase. If the number of days reduced, there will be less work. If the number of days is increased, there will be more work. Therefore, here we have direct proportion or direct variation.

2. Number workers and days required to do a certain work is an example of inverse variation. If more men are employed, they will require fewer days and if there are less number of workers, more days are required.

3. There is an inverse proportion between the daily hours of a work and the days required. If the number of hours is increased, less number of days are required and if the number of hours is reduced, more days are required.

6. Some Important Tips:
More Men - Less Days and Conversely More Day - Less Men.
More Men - More Work and Conversely More Work - More Men.
More Days - More Work and Conversely More Work - More Days.
Number of days required to complete the given work = Total work/One day’s work.

Since the total work is assumed to be one(unit), the number of days required to complete the given work would be the reciprocal of one day’s work. Sometimes, the problems on time and work can be solved using the proportional rule ((man*days*hours)/work) in another situation.

7. If men is fixed,work is proportional to time. If work is fixed, then time is inversely proportional to men therefore, (M1*T1/W1) = (M2*T2/W2)

Problems on Time and Work

1) If 9 men working 6 hours a day can do a work in 88 days. Then 6 men working 8 hours a day can do it in how many days?

Solution: From the above formula i.e (m1*t1/w1) = (m2*t2/w2)
so (9*6*88/1) = (6*8*d/1)
on solving, d = 99 days.

2) If 34 men completed 2/5th of a work in 8 days working 9 hours a day. How many more man should be engaged to finish the rest of the work in 6 days working 9 hours a day?

Solution: From the above formula i.e (m1*t1/w1) = (m2*t2/w2)
so, (34*8*9/(2/5)) = (x*6*9/(3/5))
so x = 136 men
number of men to be added to finish the work = 136-34 = 102 men

3) If 5 women or 8 girls can do a work in 84 days. In how many days can 10 women and 5 girls can do the same work?

Solution: Given that 5 women is equal to 8 girls to complete a work
so, 10 women = 16 girls.
Therefore 10women +5girls = 16girls+5girls = 21 girls.
8 girls can do a work in 84 days
