I could attempt only 6 questions out of 30 in QA , and got only only 3 correst .I am getting scared about my quant attempts . I have learnt the basics and I have been average or above average (dont know) in mathematics . But here I am doing very badly .

This is my first attempt and started preparing 2 months back only . first time CAT taker. I guess I havent solved enough number of problems for practice.

Each of the seven siblings - Anshu, Bhuvan, Crystal, Daksh, Eric, Foram and Giresh - participated in a different activity among Painting, Singing, Dancing, Debate, Essay Writing, Cooking and Gymnastics, not necessarily in the same order, during a talent hunt competition organized by their housing society. It is also known that:
(i)There is exactly one pair of twins among the seven and none of the twins participated in Gymnastics.
(ii)Bhuvan participated in Cooking and Anshu participated in Debate.
(iii)Those who participated in Singing, Dancing and Essay Writing are younger to Daksh, who is not the eldest among the seven.
(iv)Eric is younger to Crystal, who is younger to Foram.
(v)The eldest and the youngest of the siblings participated in Dancing and Debate, in no particular order.
(vi)The one who participated in Painting has exactly four siblings elder to him/her and the one who participated in Gymnastics has exactly four siblings younger to him/her.
Note: Twins to be considered equal in age.

Can someone mail me this mock? TIA

Puys, have a doubt in first question.
Question was: A basket contains only three kinds of fruits guavas, mangoes and pears. What is the minimum number of fruits that should be picked from the basket to ensure that at least 5 guavas or at least 7 mangoes or at least 8 pears are picked?

Answer was 18.
But I think since OR was used answer should have been 8 since one could ensure that "at least 5 guavas or at least 7 mangoes or at least 8 pears are picked?".

18 is the answer if AND is used instead of OR!!!

Can anyone throw light on this?

Any of these should suffice.
Pick 4 guavas 6 mangoes 7 pears. Now if you pick any other fruit the basket it will lead to the OR condition.
Hence 4+6+7+1=18

taken as 1.
i didn't get it. Someone help

because after 10 min they are 50-50 same amount
so ratio of alcohol nd vinegar is 1

Hey, you people got those jumbled ones right??..i got all of them wrong ...answers showing some unusual opening sentences!!!..

I failed to understand the solution of this question :(
N = 51!+2!+3!+...+12!+13!
The digits of the number N are added to get another number. Then the digits of the number obtained are added to get yet another number. The process is repeated till a single digit number is obtained. What is that single digit number?

Hi can anybody help me with this question ? Find the minimum possible value of 'y' if 9/17< x/y < 25/43 where x and y are natural numbers. I can't understand the given solution

The range hints that
9/17>1/2 => x>y/2
simply try like this

lets take options one by one. also x1.... not possible
put y=3,x=2....not lies in range , exceeds second part i.e. 25/43
put y=4, x=3... none lies in range,exceeds second part i.e. 25/43
put y=5 ,x=3,4....none lies in range, exceeds second part i.e 25/43
put y=6, x=4,5....none lies in range, exceeds second part i.e 25/43
put y=7, x=4 satisfies.... just satisfies... hence 7 is the answer

Has anyone experienced such disaster ?

Yes buddy even I experienced the same thing last year. In my first three mocks I could manage only single-digit scores in Quants. If you are clear with the basics, practice as much as you can. Solve last 10 years CAT papers to get a feel of the type of questions. With each mock analyse which are your weak areas and work on them

Hi can anybody help me with this question ? Find the minimum possible value of 'y' if 9/17< x/y < 25/43 where x and y are natural numbers. I can't understand the given solution

can be solved easily given the options.
Anyway 9/17 =0.53(approx)
25/43= 0.58
i started with numerator= 1, it becomes <0.5 after 1/2.
numerator=2, it becomes 0.66, 0.4 and less
num= 3, it becomes 0.75,0.6,0.5,0.4 and so on
num=4, it becomes 0.8,0.66,0.55
thus min value of y is '7'.

You have not joined I even after converting.....

PS : I just got this info from your post.

He converted I in 2010. 2011-he didn't even attend. :).It now clearly confirms that hez destined for gre'A'tness.:)

hv 2 work harder n be more carefull the nxt time....

bhai i like to call myself Mocks ka Subramaniam Badrinath ( no offense to badri , he is doing well for himself ) .
No point doing well in mocks if u can screw up in CAT like I have done for the past 2 years .Hopefully I(we) will be third time lucky . .:grin:

that is why I just have one advice for the freshers here . dont take the mock results to heart . just study hard and remain calm . the results will go ur way .

i just hope we can't go 3rd time unlucky. and mocks are just a platform to check your own strengths and weakness. The scores can always deceive us. But then again, veterans will do well this time.. And I am also one of them.

congrats boss (atul),
didn;t expect such a high percentile after screwing this mock.
QA:97.3 percentile
VA:99.4 percentile

overall: 99.4 a rare occasion when i got more percentile in VA.
Hoping to improve more in next mock and awaiting 1319 scores
