People was just analyzing the VA section
.I managed to get all wrong in the first RC.Now the answers given by time for the RC seem a bit ambiguous.

like for the first question the have given choice 4.But nowhere I can find it to be written that simplicity is perceived by religion to be inherent in wisdom.

they have mentioned in the last question that wisdom is a type of knowledge.Seems wrong to me if you read the first few lines of the RC.

similarly for a few others

Any enlightened soul who got the RC correct and can give the reasons that why he went for the answers given.

Hi puys...today i have given aimcat 1003.
VA (6r,6w) - 18
LR/DI (13r,2w) - 50
QA (7r,3w) - 25

Started with verbal, gave 25 min to it(RC untouched). Then came to quant and wasted 1 hour 5min in doing 10 questions. DI was easy(left the tennis set).
I think in DI only I have cleared the cut-off. Anyone from time plz tell me the sectional cut-off of each section.And also %le at this score.
Thanks

A solid cube whose edges are 12 cm each, has been cut by a plane such that the plane bisects three edges meeting at a corner. Find the surface area of the remaining part of the cube after the small piece is removed.

My Approach was that, the removed part is a pyramid.

Now, Surface Area of the Pyramid = (1/2)*(Perimeter of Base)*(Slant Height)
= (1/2)*(3*6^(1/2))*(6) = = 54 * 2^(1/2)

But, the answer given has a different approach, which results in a different solution.

Could somebody please throw some light on this.

I think you forgot to add the area of the newly exposed triangle formed when you remove the pyramid....ie add the area of the base of the pyramid to the ans you are getting...

Hey brother facing the same problem here, same condition as yours and wats worse is that i am not even working. But there one thing that brings some hope, that is the aimcat difficulty level is really high and it can be demotivating sometimes. I suggest you take the Time online MC's and Crt's. I am sure you will definately do better in those tests. And please dont compare your scores to the people who post their scores, they just kill you.

Analysis is finally up on the TIME site

Hey,

Thanks for your response.

Even when i add the area of the exposed triangle, i'm getting the incorrect answer.

According to the solutions given,

the area of the pyramid = area of the three triangles + area of base.

which is coming out to be 54 + 18*3^(1/2).

I'm unable to understand why the formula that i have applied is not giving me the correct Surface Area.

Hi puys,
The LRDI set on games(64 matches...) was that an easy set. Can someone please post the approach for that. please dont post the time sol. because it would be too lengthy to do the sum that way

dude,

everyone here will give their best to help others if queries are raised .. but at the same time repeating the same question again doesnt appear good .. pls refrain that!

pls check previous pages before u post ur query.. i am not gonna spoon feed u with links ! check out.. its in 21st/29th page!

[avijit23]

yaah i agree ....the approach given by time ppl is a lenghty one....

my score

qa-40
di-41
VA-18...(a big blunder)
..OA=99

but thnx nywaz appreciate it

hi iam doin it in this way plz let me know what is wrong in it????????

1sector can be painyed in 3 ways ,2nd in 2 ways ,3rd in 2ways ,4th in 2wys and 5th in 1 way....so iam getting ans 24 ........
