  Q.26 
The number 5775 is written 8000 times, side by side, thereby forming a 32000-digit number. What will be the remainder when this number is divided by 18?  a  1  b  3  c  5  d  12

(I got the remainders from 2 and 9. How do we reach to remainder from 18 in such questions?)

Does anyone have past CAT papers? It would be great if anyone can provide Time, CL etc mock papers.

Thanks in advance.

Approach please....

Please explain how to solve....

The answer is 256, but shouldnt it be 128?? In the solution it says we should avoid the information related to N.

x+y+z=48 and x

pls explain..

A thin copper wire is wound, uniformly and spirally, in a single layer, from the bottom to the top, around a cylindrical iron rod. The circumference of the iron rod is 2 cm. and its height is 56 cm. If the number of turns in the spirally wound copper wire is exactly 45, what is the length of the copper wire used?

Pls Share approach as well!

The cost of 17 apples, 13 bananas and 9 oranges is Rs.130, whereas the cost of 13 oranges, 7 apples and 10 bananas is Rs.100. Find the cost (in Rs.) of 1 apple, 1 banana and 1 orange put together. 

(I always start by hit and trial which consumes a lot of time. A concrete approach needed).
