Work ex-nil...been idle at home for one year. Reason being that I did not get my date of joining from CTS. So gave GRE and CAT.

GRE 1510/1600

CAT 08:

QA: 95.52
DI: 96.42
VA: 99.18
OA: 99.61

Calls from: A,C,K

Converts: C(dream interview...cudnt have been better)

Rejects: A,K (knew that I wont make any of them midway through my interviews...K one was a horror show!)

So heading to JOKA now!!!

Made it! Had calls from A,C and K...but converted only C! Relief finally! As they say, CAT ki atma ko shanti mili!

Venue : IIM Kozhikode

p2 - so your alternate career choice (i had mentioned civil services there) stems from your stint with #$@ ?
me - no sir....dad in navy....engendered patriotism...serving country..

p2 - but why Mba then...? why not the Civil services ?
me - (ah ha !!) ....huge discussion...

Greg

What did u answer when they asked u y not the Civil Services?

well that was hard luck dude!...dnt worry you are in the safe zone this time...as seniors have already stated..multiple IIM calls hopefully dis yr.....that's why they say "what happens, happens for the good!"....

dis may be slightly off-topic...but wat was ur score in qa last yr at 87%-ile in XAT....i mean how many marks do u think u got?....

well I dunno cos I dint check my XAT answers with any key...was very confident tht I did well n all...thought tht it may be mentioned in the scorecard at least, but it wasnt there.

I think u wont get even a single call...maybe u shud try FORE/NIRMA or something like that...
Height of modesty!!! :-x
Dude, on a serious note why do u even bother to ask questions like " will i get an IIM call"...after scoring 140+...specially after 200+ pages of discussion...
Neways all the best!!

Well it so happened last yr tht I got some 99.18% in XAT '08 nd ended up wid 87% in QA...so no call nothing nd this time committed some of the silliest possible ones in CAT quants nd a bit nervous thts y...nd no am not all that modest!

Hi all...below is my cat '08 performance

QA:38
DI :44
VA:58-78(various keys)
OA:140-160

My acads:
Xth:90
XIIth:86
Engg:77

Work Ex:0

Any chance of IIM calls? Dint apply for any other coll...thanks in advance

When the digits of a two-digit number are reversed, the number formed is 75% more than the original number. By what percent is the unit digit of the original number more/less than the tenth digit?
Choose one answer.
a. 300%
b. 50%
c. 100%
d. 200%

Anyone please tell me how to approach these questions...

The answer is c.100%

Let the no. be 10a+b. Then, according to the question

(10b+a)-(10a+b)=3/4*(10a+b). Simplifying the above gives b=2a. So the tens digit is 100% more than the units digit.

u mean to say tht last two digits are 30 ?

b d way how is Units digit of 1^8+2^8+...+9^8 is 3.

Units digit of 1^8=1
2^8=6
3^8=1
4^8=6
5^8=5
6^8=6
7^8=1
8^8=6
9^8=1
10^8=0
So, its sum = 33. The same is obtained for adding the units digits of 11^8,12^8,13^8 till 20^8. So, summing the units digits till 100^8 gives 330. So, the last two digits are 30.

what are the last two digits of (1^8 )+(2^8 )+(3^8 )+......+(100^8 )
can any one suggest a general solution for this sum well
i know the last digit is 0 but how to determine the second digit

Is the answer 3?

MaskedMenace Says

i dnt knw d ans ...but am not clear.....please explain in detail...

The sum of the unit digits from 1^8 to 9^8 multiplied by ten gives the units digit of 1^8+2^8+3^8+...+100^8. So, the units digit of 1^8+2^8+...+9^8 gives the second digit of 1^8+2^8+3^8+...100^8.

Units digit of 1^8+2^8+...+9^8 is 3. So, the tens digit of 1^8+2^8+3^8+...100^8 is 3.
