Official Quant thread for CAT 2013

The root of the equation x^2+4x-5=0 are also the roots of the equations 2x^3+9x^2-6x-5=0 What is the third root of the second equation

What is the sum of the series 1/(5*8 )+ 1/(8*11) + 1/(11*14)........................+1/(242*245)

Geometry 1:
In a triangle ABC, AB = 17.5 and AC = 9 cm.
AD =3 and is perpendicular to BC.
Find the circumradius of ABC.

The lines 4x+5y=134 and y=mx+16 intersect at points whose coordinates are integers. Find the number of positive integer values that m can assume

Geometry 2:
A triangle has sides 10, 17 and 21.
A square is inscribed in the triangle such that one side of the square lies on longest side of the triangle and the other two vertices of the square touch the shorter sides of the triangle.
What is the side of the square.

Geometry 3:
In a triangle AB = 20, AC = 11, BC = 13. Find the diameter of the semicircle inscribed in ABC, whose diameter lies on AB and is tangent to AC and BC.

integer solutions of :

x^2 + y^2 = 75.. how to do such Qs??

Geometry 4:
ABCD is an isosceles trapezium. AB = CD = 2. AD || BC.
A semicircle circumscribes ABCD with AD = 8 as the diameter.
Find BC.

Geometry 5: In a rectangle ABCD, E is any point inside it.
AE = 40. BE = 50. CE = 60.
What can be the maximum value of DE ?

z is the product of first 31 natural numbers..if x=z+1,then teh number of primes among x+1,x+2,x+3....x+30??????? @Shubh.i @cristianokaka >>mgmg

# 1. In one of the deadliest untamed jungles in North America, researchers found that every 3

deer eat 4 kgs of grass in 30 minutes, while every 4 tigers eat 8 kgs of flesh in 10 minutes.

Average flesh content in a deer is 15 kgs. It was also found that every pair of tigers kills 5 deer

per hour. This jungle has 60 tigers, which are observed to be busy in either killing or eating flesh

in the entire day. Assuming there is no other source of flesh for tigers (apart from deer), what

should be optimum time taken (approximately) in 24 hours to hunt so that no flesh is wasted in a

day?

A ) 4 hrs

B ) 6 hrs

C ) 10 hrs

D ) 17 hrs


yeh kaun sa ajib jungle hai 😛
