@monster1982,
u have stopped calculating after 33*32 as the size of the rectangel.
is there any way to eliminate other options, like 22*48, 44*24 etc.?

18^2 + 15^2 + …………1^2 = 1056.
Now write 1056 as a product of two factors: these two factors will be the side of the rectangle.
528*2 (not possible because tile of size more than 2 will not fit)
264*4(…………….same reason as above……………………………)
132*8((…………….same reason as above……………………………))
66*16(…………….same reason……………………………)
33*32 (possible)
3*96(…………….not possible……………………………)
hence only one rectangle is possible which will fit all these tiles is 33*32
now try to fit all these tiles there.
18+15 = 33 and 14+10+9 = 33, 18 + 14 = 32.
With this I got the figure as: moving from left to right and in a clock wise direction,
18….14(in top row)
18 -15 in left column
14-10-9 in right column
15- 8-9 in bottom row, rest we can easily fill.
So 1 is touching 10,9,8,7

check

[yash22]

ya i have seen the cut offs on the given link,
it is helping to judge our performance.

@monster1982,
most of the institute consider cut offs,
may it be very low, but it will be there.
IMI delhi,
CAT 2005, min marks per section was 10 percent,
CAT 2006, min marks per section was 50 percentile,
same with FORE etc,
u cant expect call from A and B grade schools [as defined on the linkhttp://www.cflogic.com/PDF/SpeedExCutOffs2007.pdf]
at exceptionally good in two sections and negative marks in the third section.
i guess this happens.
any one any other or different info, please share

[yash22]

next is speed EX 4 to 6,
i will be doing if tomorrow, before preCAT 10,
i can comment on it by evening.
till then continue with your discussion.
cheers!

My problem is that I score better in Speedex than in precats....
so my sectional performance is not bad but it is not satisfactory enough when combined as a paper.
difficulty level according to me is more or less the same for both speedex and precat.
what is your opinion puys?
