In my opinion there is nothing as such since a test is a test. However, CAT is an entrance test, conducted by IIMs, in which pattern and syllabus both are tentative and transient. So every CAT aspirant has to stand on the tip-toes in order to be adaptive with the precarious uncertainties. The occurrence of this phenomenon can be explained by the logic that an examiner always wants to trip the examinee up to select the smartest one. Hence there is a great challenge ahead of CAT aspirants and their coaches both. Further it is well known that CAT can ask any relevant thing under the sun, so to prepare a book for cutting edge examination like this one is nomean feat. CAT always emphasizes on the logic and commonsense instead on theoretical aspects of the subject (i.e. advanced math or English grammar). Hence a candidate's intellect is pivotal. In this regard it should be noted that neither a great mathematician nor a don of English alone is able to crack the CAT, hence he or she is supposed to possess equal competency in all the required areas. Since, itis the test of your nous and ingenuity therefore your critical thinking is instrumental in cracking the CAT. So anyone with commonsense and open mind can erack the CAT notwithstanding average grades in academics. Considering the above mentioned fact this tailor-made book is designed to meet the requirements of CAT, so that even a non-mathematies background student can qualify the test paper as easily as someone with mathematical prowess. Clearly this book is the trailblazer in the realm of competitive exams which encourages in solving the problems by using intuitive skills and mental arithmetic in the pragmatic approach. This book also enjoys the privilege of being the pioneer for CAT which contains mostly diagrammatic solutions with multi pronged approaches, Without boasting a single word you will encounter with astounding calculation techniques which are pretty novel. The conspicuous absence of equation based solutions is one of the sublime features of this book because solving an equation requires undue time and paper space than the methods described in this book. Indubitably these pro-CAT problem solving techniques and tricks have been tested by me and my successful students in actual CAT during intervening period so there is no space for any kind of risk or reservation in applying them. Dear readers, I am greatly delighted to present this book exclusively for you as a well designed module for developing and sharpening your quantitative aptitude. It is equipped with futuristic and most relevant stuff including breakthrough techniques and tricks to maximize your score in CAT even if you don't have the in-depth knowledge of mathematics. The latest problem solving methods incorporated in this book are based on the extensive classroom research. It is a helping hand for DI & DS (ie. Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency) section too. The first seven chapters of this book contribute a lot for the DI-DS section. ‘The compelling reason behind penning down this monumental book is the scarcity of requisite study material especially for weaker students, who have been trawling through the books written for CAT, which are available in the market, can be categorized as following: + The books containing extremely easier and general problems which are mostly asked in Bank PO, SSC, and Railways recruitment exams and these books are titled as “Quantitative Aptitude for MBA / CAT”. Hence, these are not up to the standard, + The books containing the collection of mere past CAT and MAT questions written haphazardly, that is without proper grading of the problems and concepts, hence these are not suitable for learners. + ‘The books having irrelevant and frightening problems with either inexplicable solutions or no solution at all. ‘Therefore, students become depressed and seared when they find it difficult to understand the sophisticated concepts, language and obfuscating blurred hints of the problems. + The books having very lengthy, tedious and traditionally formulae based solutions which are not feasible to apply in the examinations. As itis well known that the time and accuracy are two prime constraints in CAT, so the time bound oral solutions are most sought after. + The books having no proper objective and vision thus showing the dearth of some important fundamental concepts besides lacking in lucid explanations of the useful concepts.+ Hence, it clearly manifests the travesty of proper study material for the needy one. So keeping the requirements of students in mind I took up this promising endeavour in hand. Therefore, I have designed this book in such a way ‘hat beginners and average students can grasp it easily and after studying it religiously and consciously they can. acquire a great deal of knowledge. Besides, this book also caters the needs of advanced quick-witted students by providing them loads of challenging problems and new areas of thinking. For the effective use of this book you should know the sense of its presentation. The whole book is divided into 21 different chapters written in the proper order. Every chapter is generally stratified in the following parts: ¥- Introduction of the chapter Theory /formulae/eoncepts/ diagrams Solved examples Introductory Exercises Specific applied nature problems divided in 3 levels (of difficulty or complexity) ‘Speed tests at the end of selected chapters. ¥- Past years actual CAT papers along with their solutions. ss + At the outset of every chapter you are informed about the importance and relevance of the chapter in the context of CAT and other entrance tests which helps you greatly in the selection of the chapter for the short term studies. Relevant theory is incisively discussed with appropriate formulae and backed by intricate diagrams to make your visualization and understanding crystal clear. Thoroughly illustrated examples help in explaining the various concepts implicit (or explicitly mentioned) in the preceding theory with infallible logics. Introductory exercises unfold the new dimensions of previously elucidated concepts which enable you to get the complete command over the fundamental concepts, which in turn boost up your confidence level. In general the problems of introductory exercises are developed to suit the need of below average students, which bridge the gap between fundamental concepts and standard problems of level 1, 2and3. ‘As per the level of complexity and difficulty ensuing exercises are divided in to 2-3 levels consisting of applied nature problems which are strietly graded one by one for your convenience to make a seamless and gradual development of th toughness standard in any chapter, In the CAT lump sum 25% problems belong to level 1, 50% problems belong to level 2 and 25% problems belong to level 3. In some of the chaptere level 3 (and level 2) problems are not given since there is no immediate need of such problems in context of CAT. Since, level 2 and level 3 problems are rather complex so you may sometimes require to study the basic concepts of another chapter which is seemingly different from the chapter which is under consideration, Ifyou find any difficulty in solving the level 2 orlevel 3 problems which reflects that you have not grasped the basie concepts and have not taken seriously any advice, rubric or logic en route to your exercises. [believe that if you are unable to solve level 3 problems, you should not overwhelmingly bother about it because there are sufficient number of problems which are easier to solve for clearing the seetional cut offs in examinations. Moreover, just by doing the problems of level 1 & level 2 MAT, FMS, IIFT, NIFT, IRMA, SNAP and NMIMS level test papers can be solved without any hitch, Eclectically prepared book is replete with diverse problems which obviates the need of purchasing plethora of books. While preparing this book I have taken cognizance of the needs of those students who are very poor in maths and mathematical reasoning. That's why my objective has always been to clear the concepts by setting the requisite innumerable examples and myriad of problems for practice. All the problems in this book are accompanied by innovative and speedy solutions which require least possible time to arrive at the final answer. Most of the problems have 2-3 alternative solutions, analyzed comprehensively, which help you immensely in developing a perfect knack for problem solving, Therefore you are required to go through each of the solutions given in the book notwithstanding your answer is correct even in the first attempt by yourself. Nearly 60-70% problems have been solved (and can be solved) just through the given options (or choices) given with the problem and some of the problems have been solved by substituting the numerical value in place of avariable, I hope this painstaking effort endowed with intelligence and experience will surely reduce your pain while preparing for entrance exams, To make it interesting and profoundly effective whole discussion is done in a very interactive way. Consequently you will hardly experience the pain which you were facing so far. For a deserving student EQ (emotional quotient) is quintessential along with high 1Q, but many a students are oblivious to this, intangible factor. Hence the EQ enhancing stuff as befitted a sui generis oracle is embedded. A curtain-raiser set of actual CAT papers is attached in this book which will help you in gauging your standard. So please solve each of the test paper strictly in test like conditions and analyze them thoroughly.Make sure that you have to always capture the nuances and patterns emanating from the exercises and their analysis. Further each and every problem should be treated as a source of learning to hita winning streak, Do not forget that“practice makes a winning attitude”. Also remember that “slow and steady wins the race”. So don't skip any point or directly jump over to a most difficult problem. Finally ifyou find any difficulty in this book, then you can go for a competent faculty or frankly write to me. I will be very delighted if this book could help you in fetching the most coveted seats from IIMs. It is hoped that it would be equally useful for the quants (i.e. maths) faculty at various coaching institutions. The whole book is accomplished with meticulous efforts so that unwanted and irrelevant stuff could be minimized and hence an error-free authentic book could be realized. Even though if any error or mistake has inadvertently crept in is encountered by our dear readers (i.e. students & faculty both) must be brought to my notice so that fortheoming editions could be improved. Not to mention that I will be really very obliged to those who will help sincerely in improvement of this book in any possible way. Please feel free to write me any relevant suggestion, query or doubt concerned to this book at the following e-mail address- lifetimeinnovations@yahoo.co.in Iwish you all the very best for your bright career.

Development Content ofthe examination was developed and confirmed by individuals with high evels of expertise in each of these content domains. Post-administrationanalysiswillbe conductedby credentialed psyehometicians to confirm the valiity ofthe examination scores and to ensure that every candidate was provided a fai and equal opportunity to display their knowledge, 2. Scoring The three-step process is outlined here and is supported by the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and the ETSStandards for Qualtyand Fairness. ‘Step 1 Raw Score is Calculated Your raw scores are calculated for each section based on the number of questions you answered correctly, incorrectly, or that you omitted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer Omitted +3 points for =Ipoint for questions | 0 points for questions questions you answered incorrectly you did not answer answered correctly This scoring methodology ensures that candidates are only awarded points for what they know, while having points deducted for Inappropriate random guessing. This is a standard process in the testing industry and is a methodology ‘employed in scoring similar admissions tests such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Step 2 Raw Score is Equated Equatingis a statistical process used to adjust scores on two or more alternate formsofan ‘assessment so that the scores may be used interchangeably. Industry standard processes were used for equating, such as those outlined within the ETS Standards for Quality and Fairness. Step 3 Equated Raw Score is Scaled In order to ensure appropriate interpretation of an equated raw score, the scores must be placed on a common scale or metric. linear transformation is used for this scaling process, which isan industry standard practice (Kolen & Brennan, 2004). ThelIM scaling modelisas follows Section Scores=0t0225 TotalExam Score=0to 450 Three scaled scores are presented for each candidate: an overall scaled score and two separate scaled scores for each section. As the two sections evaluate two distinct sets of knowledge and skils, scores may not correlate across sections. A high score in one section does not guarantee a high score in another section. Percentile rankings are provided for each individual section as well as fr the overall exam score. 3. About Test Difficulty The CAT exam has been developed to accurately identify top performing candidates and that design makes use ofa scaled score range of 00.450. In order to appropriately identify the tap performing candidates, the CAT exams, by design, a very difficult exam. As would be expected with the more difficult CAT exam, no candidate would likely answer 100% of the items correctly or he/she would achieve the top theoretical score. The exam design will accomplish the goal of identifying the top performing candidates who are, indeed, ranked at the top of thelist. Ifthe exam were designed to be substantially easier, it would be theoretically possible for a candidate to achieve a score of 450. However, an exam constructed to be that easy would not serve the distinct purposes ofthe IIMs.Eligibility Verification Ifa candidate is short-listed for interviews by any IIM, he/she has to comply with the following eligibility verification 1. Mark sheets and Degree Certificate Acandidate must show all the original mark sheets and submit attested copies to prove his/her eligibility at the time of interview. Further if a candidate is selected for a program, original degree certificate and mark sheets of all emesters/years along with their attested copies must be submitted for verification atthe time of ining the program. 2, Reservation Category Requirements If shortlisted for interview, SC, ST, NC-OBC, and DA candidates must show the original caste/class/disabilty certificate and submit a photocopy at the time of interview. Further ifa candidate is selected for a program, original certificate of qualifying degree andattested copy ofthe same must be submitted for verification at the time of joining a program. 3. Candidates in the Final Year of Graduation If shortlisted for interview, candidates appearing for the final bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification examination ‘must show an original certificate from the Principal/Registrar/Director of the university/insitution certifying that the candidate has obtained 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of the candidates belonging to SC, ST, and DA category) based on latest available grades/marks. He/she must submit an attested copy of the original certificate atthe time of interview. For the PGP of lIMs, such candidates, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme Provisionally Only if ‘they submita certificate latest by June 30, 2013 from the Principal/Registrar oftheir college/institute {issued on or before June 30, 2013) stating that they have completedall the requirementsincluding appearing for supplementary examsif any (the results may, however, be awaited) for obtaining the bachelor’s degree/ equivalent qualification on the date of issue of the certificate ‘Their admission will be confirmed only when they submit original mark sheet and qualifying degree certificate of having passed the bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification referred to in the certificate issued by Principal/Registrar oftheir college/institute, They must obtain at least 50% marks or equivalent. They also must submit an attested copy of the mark sheets and qualifying degree certificate. The deadline for submission of the mark sheet and the certificate is December 31, 2013. Non-fulfillment Of This Condition Will Automatically Result in The Cancellation of The Provisional Admission, Provisional admission will also be cancelled if it is found that the certificate (Annexure F) is found to be incorrect subsequently. IIMs would not allow any candidate to join their programme in case the candidate is unable to complete all ‘the requirements for a bachelor degree on or before June 30, 2013. The IIMs would also not offer admission to any candidate after June 30,2013, Admission Process 1. Independent Criteria Each IIM shortlists candidates for second stage of selection, which may be independent of each other. For more information youray refer the admissions policies of IMs from theirrespective websites 2.

This implies that the score will peak at 36 months work experience and will remain at that level for candidates with work experience exceeding 36 months, The work experience score (maximum Sin ‘the pre-P! stage) will be multiplied by the quality of work experience score on a5 point scale (0-0.5~1-1.5—2)asgiven by interviewers in the Pl process in Phase 2 to givea maximum scoreof 10 for work experience. 6. For all candidates in the first shortlist as stated in Table (1), the maximum of the work experience score and the professional course score is considered for selection under a common weight of 10 for work experience or professional course ~since both provide professional work experience relevant toa management programme. 7. For all candidates in the first shortlist as stated in Table (1), other than work experience or professional course, the weights fr the remaining fourcomponents (each of them being standardized) are fixed as: CAT=20, 10th board=15, 12th board=10, Bachelors=15. 8 Forall candidates in the first shortlist as stated in Table (2), the weighted total ofthe five components namely (a) work experience or professional course, (b) CA, (c) 10th board, (d) 12th board, (e) bachelors as stated above is used to prepare a pre-Pl rank list for calling candidates for the Pl Sufficient candidates will be invited for Pl to enable selection based on ‘the additional Pl evaluation components: (a) note content, (b} note style, (c) personal interview, and (d) review of work experience ifany) 9. Forall candidates in the first shortlist as stated in Table (1), the top 10 candidates in each sectional and total score in CAT, adjusted SSC, HSC, Bachelors, and Professional (CA ICWA/CS), from the first shortlist, as created using the criteriain Table (1) automatically qualify for Pl These candidates are given a chance to appear for Pl due to their exceptional performance fon one parameter. However, at the end of Phase 2, all such candidates must merit selection at an identical level of composite aggregate score like any other candidate. 10. For all candidates in the first shortlist as stated in Table (1), normalization or standardization in any component stated aboveis carried out as per the following formula. Allstandardization is done with reference to the qualifying first shortlist orits subdivisions; Standardized score (truncated between O and weight (wt) is computed from the raw score (val}as: Max[0, min (we, WE Val-moan wey] PHASE 2 11, The performance of each candidate on the note will be scored by in terms of content and style. Each interviewer will use ‘the Personal Interview to comprehensively evaluate the candidate's motivation and ability to fit in and benefit from the PGP program. All candidates will be required to provide three confidential reference letters from their employers or faculty and this wll also be used in the personal interview evaluation, For each of the three elements of evaluation during ‘the P| process ~ Note Content, Note Style and Personal Interview- the average ofthe scores given by the interviewers will beconsidered, 12. The work experience score will be multiplied by the quality of experience score, as evaluated by the interviewing panel as an assessment of the relevance of the work experience to the program. The quality of work experience score will be evaluated ona 5 point scale (0—0.5-1— 1.5~2) by each member of the panel during the interviews. The average quality ‘of work experience score will be multiplied by the pre-Pl work experience score and accordingly the work/professional experience component score {maximum score) usedin Phase 1 will be revised in Phase 2 (maximum score 10), 13, The scores in all past academics will also be updated, if required, on the basis of actual mark sheets/ grade cards submitted. Unless otherwise mentioned, percentages would be calculated by considering all subjects that the candidate has appeared for examination 14. The note content score (weight=7.5}, note style score (weight=7.5), and the personal interview score (weight=20}, after standardization across interview panels and sessions, will be added to the pre-PI total to arrive at the final aggregate 415. The final offers of admission to candidates will be made strictly on the basis of ranks in each category on the final aggregate score as mentioned in (14), Since, IIMB follows a comprehensive multi-criteria process atthe pre-Pl stage, itis able to identify many candidates for ‘the Pl who have an excellent academic record and work experience but who, while doing well enough in the CAT to be in the first shortlist, may have narrowly missed the high score that would have been required if CAT alone was the basis for ‘the PI shortlist Such candidates effectively replace candidates who have only @ high CAT score but score poorly in terms of their past academic record and work experience.

Preparation Strategy Early to bed andearly torise! Neither comes shock, nor comes surprise!! The one who is sage, the one whois wise! He does nothing, but everything optimize!! Competition is all about filling and creating gaps amongst all the contestants. What does it mean? It means simply if you, at this moment, are less competent than the one who is ahead of you, then you have to reduce this gap (or difference). Again as soon as you reach the level of your benchmark (or the most competent guy) youhave to create a positive gap between yourself and the one who has earlier been leading you. 2. Competition is race. To win this race you have to increase your speed of learning. The one who is more competent than you is already continuously enhancing his level of knowledge. So, you have to certainly accelerate your effective learning. 3. Tooutdo the competition you may have to analyze various things. Broadly speaking it is SWOT analysis. SWOT. is an acronym for strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. The first two factors of SWOT are in direct control of an individual and the last two factors are almost beyond the control of any individual. Therefore, youneed to introspect into your strengths and weaknesses. Then work accordingly. 4, Successisa continuous process. Itdoes not imply a single achievement. Similarly habit is repetitive process. Therefore success and habits run parallel to each other. Hence, we can cleariy say that success is the outcome of habits, especially good ones. Now I think there is no any need to talk much about good habits. You are already smart enough to understand what you need to inculcate and what you need to shed off. 5. Good habits come from good exposure— interaction with great leaders, company of cooperative friends, reading of inspirational and insightful books, keeping abreast with power-packed articles, watching great stuff on your TV, surfing through extraordinary content on the internet etc. All this gives you a great learning experience, Mostimportantly itreshapes your attitude, outlook and ideology towards life. 6. Mostvitalof allisnone other than your attitude. It gives you an approach to look, feel and react to the various situations. In general everyone gets the same input (or stimulus) but itis the output (response) to the given input determines the further course of action. And this response can be greatly improved by a good exposure in order to optimize the gains from that situation.7. The next big thing is belief system. If you strongly believe in something, you are certainly going to do it irrespective of numerous odds. Similarly, if you do not strongly believe in a particular thing, you are least likely to do it successfully. Therefore, your conviction directs your determination. And determination leads to persistence. Finally it's the persistence which withstands all the pressures of your way to success. 8. Change is the only constant. To move ahead steadily you have to update and adapt to the favourable changes inthe system. 9. Consistency is as important as a regular supply of oxygen to our lungs. Sporadic, intermittent, irregular behaviour or occurrence of any event creates chaos, uncertainty and unreliable predictability. Therefore, inconsistencyis least preferred in any case whatsoever. 10. Everyone hasimmense energy but oneneeds to channelize itin a focused and constructive manner. How to Begin ? 11. The first and foremost job you need to dois that you should start your preparation by solving previous years CAT papers. Solve atleast 3-4 papers to analyze your strong and weak points. Don't deter by your poor performance, if any, in these test papers. Even if you think that you don’t know anything pertaining to CAT, stil you need not to get scared of it. My requests that please come out of this fear and take the first challenge. 2. The performance in these papers can be broadly divided into following 3 categories. Group Performance B. In all the sections performance is satisfactory. 8 In some ofthe sections performance is satisfactory, wile in rest of the sections performance is poor. © In all the sections performance is poor 3. Ifyou are a group A student, brush up your concept again. You are hardly required to solve 10 sectional tests on each section. During this period analyse and bring more clarity to concepts. Try to develop section-wise strategy. Eliminate all the conceptual flaws. Then directly go to solve at least 8-10 full length test papers. During this time try to find all the possible strategies for optimizing your score, Don't leave any scope for experimentin the actual exam day, 4. Ifyou are a group B student, start revising all the concepts in every section. But you need to put extra efforts in those sections in which you are not performing well enough. Also you need to start little early say at least 8-10 months. Since, You need to improve your performance in one or more sections drastically and which takes a lot of time. In short term yyoucan only understand but not be able to deliver in stressful situations, 5. Evenif you are a group C student, nothing is impossible for you, provided that you are ready to ill the required gap. The only requisite is that whether you are crazy enough to excel with smart approach and diligent work. Indubitably, you need to put extra efforts in comparison to rest of the students. First of all target the concept not the speed. Then practice as many questions with various approaches to hone your concept indifferent settings, language, and variations. Focus ‘your energy to improve your sectional scares. When you are satisfied enough then only move towards comprehensive (orcombined) tests ofall the sections taken together. Keep on practicing, revising, and relearning with new approaches. “Try to practice variety of questions from variety oftopics. Diversity willcertainly pay you oft. Sectional Preparation Data Interpretation (DI) ‘There is no doubt that DI is a very interesting and scoring section, provided your logical and analytical skills are sharp enough. In Di data is usually presented with the help of table, chart, matrix, graph, and other statistical formats. Data is actually followed by 3-5 questions. You have to carefully interpret it and answer the concerned questions. Earlier the questions used to be calculation based (or number crunching), but recently this trend has shifted towards the analytical questions. Inany case you are usually asked tofind the following typical questions.Find the missing figure or value. Find the percentage change (growth or fall). Compare the twoor more traits and parameters. Find the ranks of players, employees, or contestants. Find the expenditure, profit or loss. Find the minimum cost and maximum profit. Find the minimum required employees, manpower or machinery. Find that which option gives the optimum return on investment. The above given examples are just the illustrative ones, and it does not mean that they are the only ones which are (canbe}asked. ‘The critical point in Dl is to interlink the varlous parameters, attributes and dimensions to reach to the desired value. If you at any time mull over cricket score or any other sports & garmes scores, bank statements, CGPA, flight charges, fight, schemes, schedules & reservation, train reservation and itinerary schedule, mobil cal rates, internet billing and plans, Big Bazaar/Mc Donald/Pizza hut offers, share market, mutual fund schemes, educational/housing/auto loan schemes, selection and promotion criterion, reservation in admissions, employee assessment card, time table for studies, betting con matches, sales figures, normal shopping decisions through brochures & internets etc. then for sure you will have adage in DI. Dlis not such a subject which has been taught you at any standard — Primary, Secondary, Higher Secondary or Undergraduate. Thisisa subject of pure analysis and logic. So anyone can easily improve the score in Dlifhe/she thinks logically and analyse the situation before taking any decision ont Data Sufficiency (DS) D5isusualiya subsection of Ol, however sometimes D5 questions have been placed in QA section aswel questions arenormally smalland do not consume muchtime, but at tmes they are very trick. So youhave tobe ver careful while solving OS questions. The most occurring mistakes in these quetions ae ne imsokcted assumptions, inte of information, and lack of basi knowledge of the used concepts. Around 25% questions are asked from the Data Suficeney Answer the following questions on the basis of given directions. Mark whenstatementAissuffiient, but isnot Mark2 when statement issufiient, but Aisnot Mark3 when boththestatementsAandBare necessary Marka when evenboththe tatementsAand are not sufcenttoanswer, Example Is Bhanu the tallest inthe class? A. Bhanuis the tallest gil B. Bhanu istallerthanallthe boys. Solution. By combining the data from both Aand B statements we get the required answer. Hence we have tomark3. Analytical & Logical Reasoning (AR) {Af constitutes almost 20%-40% portion of l section in CAT and itis much more important for athe tests ik IFT, SNAP and XA. The only remedy is that practice well before exam, There is a great vriety in questions, explore the each one Seating arrangement reaching order, colour combination, event Schedules, family tee, ete are the typical examples of Analytical Reasoning Quantitative Aptitude (QA) In this section most of the questions are independent of each other. Most of the questions are at the level of any secondary level mathematics book. The only difference is that questions are very logical which requires out of the box thinking. itis not necessarily that you solve the problems by conventional method of mathematics as alternative approach and lateral thinking is better in arriving fast to the final answer. This section usually comprised of Number ‘System, Arithmetic, Geometry, Mensuration, Algebra and Modern Maths (Permutation & combination and probability).Example. There isa square which inscribes a circle and this circle again inscribes a square. Find the ratio ofthe area of larger square to that of the smaller one. Solution. since, all the vertices of smaller square are on the circle, so after rotating the smaller square on the circumference there will be no any change in the area of smaller square. Asit can be seen from the following figure that the vertices of smaller square are on the middle ofthe each side ofthe larger square, so the smaller square is having half ofthe area oflarger square. ‘Thus, wecan see that the above problemis solved without using any traditional method of mathematics. My objective is to make it clear that formulae and equations are not always required or necessary if you can apply lateral & creative thinking, Example 2. There are ten packets each containing five types of spices such that exactly every two packets have two spices common between them. Minimum how many different spices arethereintotal? Solution The maximum number of different spices will be 50. But since every two packets have two spices common between them, sowe can done away with 10 (=2X5) spices. Thus there are only 40 different spices. Example 3, What are the last two digits of (121)"? Solution The last two digits of (121)" can be obtained by dividing (121)' by 100, The remainder so obtained will be the last two digits of 121)". The solution will goas following. (azay* _(2ay" (ay (aay 100 100, ~~ 100 100. ~ 100” 61 ‘Therequired last two digits are 6 and 1as ens and unit digits respectively. Example 4. in the eve of Valentine's Day only 10 couples were dancing inside a club. In a sudden attack by an extremist {group on the club manya people who were dancing there were beaten and arrested inside the club. Minimum how many people escaped itand came out safely from the back gate so that we come toknow that at east one coupleissafe? Solution Let's consider the worst possible situation that if you try to find who has safely come out of the club, you find ‘that it’s a gir (say). But afterall ten girls came out now there is a turn of a boy. So when minimum 11 people came out safely, then we can certainly say that at least one coupleis safe. Example 5. Aman covers adistance from Ato D via B and Cin total 16 hour. AB, BCand CD are 12kmeach, He travels AB with xkm/h and rest for x hours at B. Again he travels BC at 2x km/h and rests for 2x hours at C. Finally he travels CD with, ‘axkm/h. Whatisthe value of x? (a) 2 23 3)6 (4) None ofthese Solution He takes rest for 3x (=x+2x) hours. So if we consider: totaltime of covering distances including est. Therefore, x=6. then we get 18 only forrest, which is more than the Now if we consider x3, then we get 9 for rest and 7 for completing the distances. Therefore he takes total 16 (=748).Dedication This book is solely dedicated to the almighty God and to whom I love most.Xavier Aptitude Test Solved Paper 2013 Quantitative Ability |.

Have a look at the following diagram to get a better picture cof what you need to understand, North East From this diagram, itis easy to understand that 2B isa right angle. Now, since AABC is a right angle triangle, so AC must pass ‘throtigh the centre of the circle and thus AC is the diameter of the circle, Now, in AABC, AC? = AB* + BC* = AC = 500 Ic means radius of the circle = 500/2 = 250 f. ‘Therefore, area ofthe circle = x(250)* = 62504 Hence, choice (a) isthe correct one.

Mean of 6 positive integers = 15 ‘Therefore, total sum of al 6 intssegers = 15x6=90 ‘The phrase ‘the only mode of integers" suggests that only ‘one integer is being repeated out of 6 integers and all other remaining integers are distinct. Since, there is an even number of terms, so the median 18 will be the average of the two middlemost terms (4th and Sth). It implies that the value of 3rd and 4th terms, when arranged in increasing order, would be either (17, 19) or (26, 20) or (15, 21)... ete Now, the best way to understand how to get the maximum possible value of the largest of the six integers you need to hhave a look at the following table, Here, we are assuming that all the sixth terms are arranged in increasing order ‘where first term and last term indicate the lowest and the highest values of the 6 terms, respectively. ‘Terms aa Firet| Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | Sixth | Sum 1] 1 | a7] a | 2 | 2 | 90 1] 1 |} 2 | 2 | a | 90 vawe} a] 1 | as | ar | 22 | 20 | 90 tems! 1] 1 | 1s] 22 | 23 | 29 | 90 1] 1 | as} 2s | 2 | 28 | 50 a} | 2] om | as |» | 90 Since, you have to maximize the value of the sixth term, so {you have to minimize the values of all other terms as much 's they can be lowered. However, when you try to lower the value of third term as low as first term and second term, the value of fourth term and fifth term increase, which leads in reduction of the value of the sixth term and that is against the requirement of the given problem. ‘Thus, you will get the highest value of sixth term when the values of fourth and fifth terms are the lowest possible ones and it would happen only when the values of third and fourth terms are closest possible, “Therefore, the maximum possible value of the sixth term is 22. Hence, choice (d) isthe correct one. Alternatively Lets use the options. Since, you are supposed to find the ‘maximum value of the largest of the six terms, so itis reasonable enough to use choice (@) first, as 34 is the ‘greatest of all the choices ‘Terms jal rst | Second | Thied [Fourth | ith [sath | Sum Valueof! 1 | 1 | a7 | ae | 20 | 34 | 92 When the value of the largest term is 34, total sum is 92 (#90) so it's an inadmissible value. ‘The second highest value inthe given choices is 32.

Let us assume that the juice extracted from each apple is 100 gm. ‘Then, the juice extracted from 3 apples = 300 gm ‘And the jice extracted from 2 oranges = 300 gm So, the juice extracted from 3 oranges = 450 gm ‘TIhus, the total juice extracted = 300+450 = 750 gm ‘Therefore, percentage of apple juice in the blend 300 - (B)x00 Hence, choice (e isthe correct answer. 40% Looking at the options you may quickly realize that you are required to determine the maximum number of people who ‘can be invited, for Sara's birthday party. Itimplies that Sara has to have maximum number of friends on the facebook ‘who are not the facebook friends of each other. In that case there will be five friends (say, A,B, C, D and E) ‘of Sara who are not the friends of each other. And each of these five persons has 24 friends excluding Sara, as Sara is the 25th friend of each of A, B,C, D and E. Thus, maximum number of people that canbe invited at Sara's party = 5+ 5(24) = 125, Dy j But it is given that atleast two of Sara's friends are connected with each other, so let us assume that the two guys A and B were already the facebook friends of each other even before Sara joins them. It means, excluding Sara, each of A and B has 23 exclusive friends. ‘As Sara has to maximize the guests at her party, so we have to consider that no more than two persons were facebook friends who became Sara's friends. So, each of C, D and E has 24 exclusive friends, excluding SaraXAT (xavier Aptitude Test) 10. u. ‘Thus, Sara_can__ invite atmost_ 123 people (©542%2343%24).

Alternatively Solve through options 20. Ram was driving the car throughout the trip and the speed was 25 km/h First Shyam walked at $ km/h and then Hari walked at S km/h ‘Al of them started off and reached, simultaneously. a 6 ¢ 3b From the above diagram, it is evident that while Shyam ‘walks down from A to B, Ram drives from A to C and drops ‘Har right there at C, and comes back to pick Shyam up at B, without any lapse’ in time. Meanwhile Hari keeps on ‘walking from C to D taking the same time in which Ram returns from C to B, where he picks Shyam up and then drives down to D from B, without any lapse in time. Let's consider option (a). It suggests that Ram is driving 200 km (=25%8). It implies that Ram is driving 100 km ‘extra asthe straight distance from A to D is only 100 km, So, we ean infer that B then goes from B to It implies that AB = 25 km and CD = 25 km. Now, Shyam walks 25 km from A to B and Hari drives 125 kim from A to C then C to B. Since, the ratio of thelr distances is same as the ratio oftheir speeds, so itis possibly ‘a correct assumption, Similarly, when Hari walks down 25 km from Co D, Shyam drives 125 km from C to 8 then B to D. 50 km as he returns from Cto B 50 km in each direction. Since, the ratio of their distances is same asthe ratio oftheir speeds, so itis possibly a correct assumption. Hence, choice (a) isthe correct one.

First ofall, let me clarify the inconsistency inthe given data. Since, the width ofthe two perpendicular roads is same, so the intersection of these roads will form a square, not the rectangle, at the centre ofthe rectangular park. Though the diagonals of square and diagonals of rectangle will pass from the same point (or intersect at the same point) but the diagonals of rectangle (park) won't be the diagonals of square (Intersection of two roads). So, we have to ignore the points that (i) the intersection of two roads of equa ‘width is a rectangle, and (i) the diagonals ofthe park are also the diagonals ofthe small rectangle (which is actually a square not a rectangle) However, if you assume that the above points are correct, then the width of both the roads cannot be the same and in ‘that case the question would be completely different. So, we will solve this problem while ignoring the above stated incongruencies. ‘Area of rectangular park = 40%30 = 1200 m’. Let the width of each road be w, then the area of roads (40 xw)+ (B0xW)- (ww) = w70=W) ed fe ‘| L Al c 4 o—11 lo Asitis known that the total area of roads is equal tothe area, of the remaining park, so it means area of roads is half of the area of rectangular park.

Why are these numbers treated differently for checking the divisibility? Since, if we multiply these numbers by any other number (except 10 or multiples of 10) these numbers can never be divisible by 10, So to make the process easier we bring the given number (ie, divisor) closer to the multiples of 10 with the difference of I (eg.9 oF I, 19 or 21, 29 or 31, 39 or AL ete). Now ifthe number is one less than the multiples of 10 (ies, 9 19, 29, 39, ..) we need to increase it by 1 to make it6 further multiple of 10, Hence we eal it “one more” osculator and the value of multiple of 10 is called the value of “one more" osculator Similarly if the number is one more than the multiple of | 10 (Le, 11, 21, 31, 41, ..., ete) we need to decrease it by 1 10 ‘make itthe multiple of 10. So we call it ‘negative’ osculator and the value of multiple of 10 isthe value of ‘negative’ osculator. eg The given number is 7 (divisor number) then we bring itcloserto the multiple of 10 with the difference of 1, then 21=20+1 > o) ‘Now in the above expression 2 is the multiple of 10 andis known as the negative osculator for 7 ‘Now let us consider the next example of 13 and then bring it closer to the multiples of 10 with a difference of 1. ‘Thus Fundamentals 13x3=39 and 3941=40= (4x10) 2) Inthe above expression 4is the multiple of 10 and 4s the value of ‘one more’ osculator. Similarly for 17 we can find the osculator as 17%3=51=50+1 50=51-1=(Sx10) Here Sis the negative osculator for 17. Similarly for 31 the osculator is negative and the value of negative osculator is 3, So, 31=30+1 > 30=31-1 > Gx10) ‘Now we will apply the osculator techniques to check the divisibility by 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, ... ete Divisibility by 7 To check the divisibility of a number by 7 we apply the following method, Let the number be 133, Step 1, 133 > 13-3x2=13-6=7 Since 7 is divisible by 7, so the given number 133 will also be divisible by 7.
