Can some faculty confirm that in XAT if i leave 9 questions unattempted, then -0.1 will be deducted or -0.9 according to the marking scheme?

Hi After 8 unattempted questions 0.1 mark is deducted per question so if you leave 18 questions then a total of 1 mark will be deducted from your overall score .

If you're leaving only 9 in the whole paper then -0.1 will be deducted.

In how many ways the letters of the word *AUTHORISE* can be arranged such that the vowels are in alphabetical order?

Hi The total ways possible = 9! Now in these 1 out of all 5! ways , AEIOU will be in alphabetical order So we get the arrangements as 9!/5!

A CAR LEFT X FOR Y AND TRAVELLED AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 60 KMPH IT REACHED Y 2 HOURS AFTER THE SCHEDULED TIME IF IT HAD LEFT X FOR Y AND TRAVELLED AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 80 KMPH IT WOULD HAVE REACHED Y 2 HOURS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TIME AT WHAT AVERAGE SPEED MUST IT TRAVEL IN ORDER TO REACH Y AT THE SCHEDULED TIME ?(IN KMPH) A)440/7 B)70 C)500/7 D)480/7

Hi let scheduled time be t , In both cases it traveled same distance : so we get 60(t+2) = 80(t-2) we get 60t+120 = 80t-160 we get 20t = 280 t = 14 hrs Therefore total distance = 60(t+2) =960 Now 960 has to be covered in 14 hours so we get average speed = 960/14 = 480/7
