ABC is a triangle. From a point X on AB, XY is drawn parallel to the base BC to meet AC in Y. If the
ratio of the area of ΔAXY and that of figure XBCY is 4 : 5, then AX and XB will be in the ratio of
1) 1 : 2 2) 3 : 1 3) 2 : 1 4) 1 :1

IIM-A criteria.

You must have 78%+ in Engineering and 80%+ in 12th (Science Stream) to get admission. 

ABCD is a parallelogram and E is the middle point of side AD. EC meets BD at O. If the area of the
parallelogram is 24 units, then the area of the EOD is
1) 4 units 2) 3 units 3) 2 units 4) 1 unit

In an equilateral triangle ABC, if the side BC is trisected at D, then 9AD^2 will be equal to
1) 5 AB^2 2) 6 AB^2 3) 7 AB^2 4) 8 AB^2

JBIMS is NOT mentioned in the CAT non member institute list!

IIMA - Not cool bro. Not cool. -_-

So, the message is clear, if you are a GEM (General Engineer Male), you have no right to dream, you have no right to aspire for a career growth. Well done IIMA 

A biased die is such that an odd number appears thrice as frequently as an even number. In a game involving this die, Shyam, is promised an amount of Rs.30 in case the die shows up an even number, but has to pay an amount of Rs.20, if the die shows up an odd number. What is the average profit or loss made by Shyam in the long run?

A)profit of Rs 5.50

B)loss of Rs 7.50

C)loss of Rs 5.50

D)profit of Rs 7.50

Please share the approach.

ly^2 + 2my + n = 0 and sy^2 + 2ty + u = 0 have at least one common root. If l, m and n are in GP. Which of the following are in AP?

A)l,m,n
B)sn,tm,ul
C)l/s,m/t,n/u
D)ls,mt,4n

Puys...Reconsider the IIM A admission eligibility criteria...78% in B.tech and 80% avg in both 10th and 12 th taken together

So let me get this straight. More than 3 months still left for CAT and already am out of the reckoning for IIM A, B, L, I. Wonder what's the point in taking CAT now. 😞

In a provision store, a packet of wheat contains 20% less than the labelled weight.But it is sold to a customer at a discount of 10 % . How much more as a percentage by weight should the customer get so that he gets the wheat @ he would have got, if the packet contained the correct quantity and there was no discount?

Regarding IIMA eligibility criteria:

Do they do scaling for state board marks?

If they do then what is the factor for scaling?

I did my 10th and 12th from U.P. Board and if you get 89% you will become board topper over there. 

A borrowed some money from B at 12% p.a. Si for 3 years. he then added some more money to the borrowed sum and lent it to c for the same periods at 14% p.a. rate of interest. If A gains Rs.93.90 in the whole transaction, how much money did he add from his side?
