CAT 2019 – Slot 2 – Quantitative Ability – Let A and B be two regular polygons having a and b sides, respectively

Q. 1: Let A and B be two regular polygons having a and b sides, respectively. If b = 2a and each interior angle of B is 3/2 times each interior angle of A, then each interior angle, in degrees, of a regular polygon with a + b sides is

Show Answer

Each interior angle of n sided polygon = (n-2)*180/n

(b-2)*180/b = 3/2 (a-2)*180/a and b = 2a

So, 2a-2/2 = (a-2)*3/2

2a – 2 = 3a – 6

a = 4 and b = 8

So, a + b = 12, a 12 sided polygon

Each interior angle = (12-2)*180/12 = 150 degrees

Q. 2 :

Show Answer

Given,

5^x – 3^y = 13438—–(1)

5^(x-1) + 3^(y+1) = 9686—-(2)

From equation 2, we get

5^x /5 + 3. 3^y = 9686

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and adding, we get

5^x = 15625

So, x = 6

Putting x in equation 1, we get

3^y = 2187

Y = 7

So, x+y = 13

Q. 3: The number of common terms in the two sequences: 15, 19, 23, 27, 415 and 14, 19, 24, 29, , 464 is
1. 18
2. 19
3. 21
4. 20

Show Answer

Common difference of first series 15, 19, 23, 27…= 4

Common difference of 2nd series 14, 19, 24, 29 .. =5

So common difference of the series formed by common terms = 4*5 = 20

First common term = 19

So series = 19, 39 , 59, … last term < 415

nth term = 19+20(n-1) = 20n – 1 < 415

so 20n < 416

n < 416/20 = 20.8

so n = 20

Q. 4: Amal invests Rs 12000 at 8% interest, compounded annually, and Rs 10000 at 6% interest, compounded semi-annually, both investments being for one year. Bimal invests his money at 7.5% simple interest for one year. If Amal and Bimal get the same amount of interest, then the amount, in Rupees, invested by Bimal is

Show Answer

Total amount invested by Amal = 12000(1+0.08) + 10000(1+0.06/2)^2 = 12960+ 10609 = 23569

Bimal invests p amount at si

So, interest for bimal = p*7.5*1/100

Interest are same for a and b, so we get

23569-22000 = p*7.5*1/100

So, p = 20920
