CAT 2022 Slot 3 Question Paper
For the following questions answer them individually
The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer:
1. The more we are able to accept that our achievements are largely out of our control, the easier it becomes to understand that our failures, and those of others, are too.
2. But the raft of recent books about the limits of merit is an important correction to the arrogance of contemporary entitlement and an opportunity to reassert the importance of luck, or grace, in our thinking.
3. Meritocracy as an organising principle is an inevitable function of a free society, as we are designed to see our achievements as worthy of reward.
4. And that in turn should increase our humility and the respect with which we treat our fellow citizens, helping ultimately to build a more compassionate society.

âIt does seem to me that the job of comedy is to offend, or have the potential to offend, and it cannot be drained of that potential,â Rowan Atkinson said of cancel culture.âEvery joke has a victim. Thatâs the definition of a joke. Someone or something or an idea is made to look ridiculous.â The Netflix star continued, âI think youâve got to be very, very careful about saying what youâre allowed to make jokes about. Youâve always got to kick up? Really?â He added, âThere are lots of extremely smug and self-satisfied people in what would be deemed lower down in society, who also deserve to be pulled up. In a proper free society, you should be allowed to make jokes about absolutely anything.â
In the following, a year corresponds to 1st of January of that year.
A study to determine the mortality rate for a disease began in 1980. The study chose 1000 males and 1000 females and followed them for forty years or until they died, whichever came first. The 1000 males chosen in 1980 consisted of 250 each of ages 10 to less than 20, 20 to less than 30, 30 to less than 40, and 40 to less than 50. The 1000 females chosen in 1980 also consisted of 250 each of ages 10 to less than 20, 20 to less than 30, 30 to less than 40,and 40 to less than 50.
The four figures below depict the age profile of those among the 2000 individuals who were still alive in 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. The blue bars in each figure represent the number of males in each age group at that point in time, while the pink bars represent the number of females in each age group at that point in time. The numbers next to the bars give the exact numbers being represented by the bars. For example, we know that 230 males among those tracked and who were alive in 1990 were aged between 20 and 30.
In 2000, what was the ratio of the number of dead males to dead females among those being tracked?
How many people who were being tracked and who were between 30 and 40 years of age in 1980 survived until 2010?
How many individuals who were being tracked and who were less than 30 years of age in 1980 survived until 2020?
How many of the males who were being tracked and who were between 20 and 30 years of age in 1980 died in the period 2000 to 2010?
