CAT 2012 Kerala study group

@joethaliath Thanks dude

@rohan_bhasker @pradyothcjohn Thanks guys. I am topper of CS at college and 5th rank at MG university. Do u guys have any idea if the university gives out certificates to ranks other than the 1st 3 ?

tadaang .... my first ques ... posted in PG somewhere ... from time speed ( I dont know anything in this ) ...


Appu and Gappu both start running around a circular racetrack in the same direction, each of them going at a constant speed. Appu is on bicycle and Gappu is on foot. Appu goes all the way around the track and catches up with Gappu. The moment he meets Gappu, he turns around and heads back towards the starting point while Gappu keeps going on his path. When Appu reaches the starting point he again meets Gappu who is just finishing his first round.
The ratio of the speeds of appu and gappu?

1) 1+root(2):1
2) 2:1
3) 3:1
4) 4:1
5) none of these

ps: @dead_alive i tried solving it , but couldnt arrive at a proper answer , where are the others??

its 1) (1+root(2):1)
in these type of questions u can assume the length of the track as unity.
also lets assume gappu travelled a distance of x, when they both meet for the first time.
First meet-
Gappu travelled - x
Appu travelled - 1+x
so ratio of their speed ( appu/gapu )= ( (1+x)/x ......(1)

Appu travelled - 1+x
so ratio of their speed ( appu/gapu )= ( (1+x)/x ......(1)
Second meet
Gappu travelled - 1
Appu travelled - 1+2x
so speed ratio in this case = (1+2x)/1.......(2)
Since they move at constant speed....(1)=(2)
Solving 1 and 2 we will get x = 1/root 2
So the ratio of their speed will be 1+2x = 1+root (2)

Ellavarkkum ente hridhayam niranja oonashamsakal....

Bad luck for me this time..No mom made oona sadhya and payasam on this thiruvonam day....

Have a splendid day guys!! :)

P.S : A special message to all Malayalis courtesy Tintu Mon..



@seetharam7 : Mone adichoday !!! A Ranker amongst us.. Congrats . !!!

@joethaliath @pradyothcjohn & to the rest of the team who have just passed their B.Tech/B.E..

Let me on behalf of the rest of the 'SENIORS 'here at PG welcome you all to the highly populous yet grossly underestimated world of " A GENERAL MALE ENGINEER"...

@Kevin88 hehe πŸ˜ƒ thank u thank u πŸ˜ƒ

how was kodai ?

saw it in fb....reposting ...


Innu 's'happy 'p'onam...


happy onam puys

Belated Onam Wishes everyone..

was real busy for the past couple of days..

@Kevin88 Thanx man..

Puys, I wasn't here for few days. How was the marathon ?

QA-DI : 21C 0W - 63
VA-LR : 15C 5W - 40
OA : 103 ....

@pugna great accuracy in sec 1 buddy :)
@rohan_bhasker : thanx buddy :)

@raku1989 @rohan_bhasker @joethaliath @pradyothcjohn @pugna @dead_alive@vinmohcetvmklm @brandnewrap @KatMann @sriraman89 @iimlover @seetharam7
Luks like the thread has lost a bit of the josh especially after Onam

Let me try & breathe some life back into it..

1)If a, b, c, d are real numbers with a2 + b2 + c2 + d2 = 100, then what is the maximum value of 2a + 3b + 6c + 24d?
a)240 b)250 c)300 d)None of these

2) If one root of the equation (I-m)x^2 +I x + 1 = 0 is double of the other & is real, find the greatest value of m.

A)9/8 B)8/7 C)8/6 D)7/5 E)5/7
