CAT 2022 Slot 3 Question Paper

Its given that the table shows every time a player had ₹10 at the end of a round, as well as every time, at the end of a round, a player had either the minimum or the maximum amount that he would have had across the eight rounds, which means that in Pulak's column the numbers possible are 11 or 12 only, similarly in Qasim's column numbers possible are only 9 or 11 only, similarly in Ritesh's column numbers possible are 5,6,7,8 or 9 only and in Suresh's column numbers possible are 9,11 or 12 only.

Everyone started with 10 rupees and the total amount,i.e., 40 in each round remains the same. So we get the following table

We are given that at the end of 4th round both Pulak and Qasim had the same amount with them and that amount possible is only 11.

As per the information given in the set the only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 6 is 11.

Amounts with Pulak and Qasim at the end of round 5 is decreased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4, since the total amount will be same at the end of every round, so amounts with Ritesh and Suresh at the end of round 5 is increased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4.

Amount with Suresh at the end of round 2 is 8 and at the end of round 4 is 12, therefore, amount with Suresh at the end of round 3 is 10.

Amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is either 9 or 11. If the amount is 9 then either amount with Ritesh has to be 10 or amount with Pulak has to to be 14, both of which is not possible. Therefore, amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is 11.

Now Qasim has the same amount at the end of round 3 and round 4 so there must be another person whose amount is also same at the end of round 3 and round 4. This person can only be Pulak. So at the end of round 3 Pulak has 11 rupees and Ritesh has 8 rupees.

The only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 8 can be 11 and therefore the amount at the end of round 8 with Ritesh will be 6.

The amount with Ritesh at the end of round 8 is 2 more than the amount with him at the end of round 7, so the amount with either Pulak or Suresh at the end of round 7 has to be 2 more than the amount at the end of round 8. This is only possible for Suresh who must have 12 rupees at the end of round 7 as Pulak cannot have rupees 15 at the end of round 7.

The amount with Qasim at the end of round 7 is 1 more than the amount with him at the end of round 6. So there must be another person whose amount at the end of round 7 is 1 less than the amount him at the end of round 6. This only possible person can be Ritesh. So amount with Ritesh at the end of round 6 will be 5.

If the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 11 then the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 will be 13 which is not possible. Therefore the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 12 and the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 is 12.

Its given that the table shows every time a player had ₹10 at the end of a round, as well as every time, at the end of a round, a player had either the minimum or the maximum amount that he would have had across the eight rounds, which means that in Pulak's column the numbers possible are 11 or 12 only, similarly in Qasim's column numbers possible are only 9 or 11 only, similarly in Ritesh's column numbers possible are 5,6,7,8 or 9 only and in Suresh's column numbers possible are 9,11 or 12 only.

Everyone started with 10 rupees and the total amount,i.e., 40 in each round remains the same. So we get the following table

We are given that at the end of 4th round both Pulak and Qasim had the same amount with them and that amount possible is only 11.

As per the information given in the set the only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 6 is 11.

Amounts with Pulak and Qasim at the end of round 5 is decreased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4, since the total amount will be same at the end of every round, so amounts with Ritesh and Suresh at the end of round 5 is increased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4.

Amount with Suresh at the end of round 2 is 8 and at the end of round 4 is 12, therefore, amount with Suresh at the end of round 3 is 10.

Amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is either 9 or 11. If the amount is 9 then either amount with Ritesh has to be 10 or amount with Pulak has to to be 14, both of which is not possible. Therefore, amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is 11.

Now Qasim has the same amount at the end of round 3 and round 4 so there must be another person whose amount is also same at the end of round 3 and round 4. This person can only be Pulak. So at the end of round 3 Pulak has 11 rupees and Ritesh has 8 rupees.

The only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 8 can be 11 and therefore the amount at the end of round 8 with Ritesh will be 6.

The amount with Ritesh at the end of round 8 is 2 more than the amount with him at the end of round 7, so the amount with either Pulak or Suresh at the end of round 7 has to be 2 more than the amount at the end of round 8. This is only possible for Suresh who must have 12 rupees at the end of round 7 as Pulak cannot have rupees 15 at the end of round 7.

The amount with Qasim at the end of round 7 is 1 more than the amount with him at the end of round 6. So there must be another person whose amount at the end of round 7 is 1 less than the amount him at the end of round 6. This only possible person can be Ritesh. So amount with Ritesh at the end of round 6 will be 5.

If the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 11 then the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 will be 13 which is not possible. Therefore the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 12 and the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 is 12.

Its given that the table shows every time a player had ₹10 at the end of a round, as well as every time, at the end of a round, a player had either the minimum or the maximum amount that he would have had across the eight rounds, which means that in Pulak's column the numbers possible are 11 or 12 only, similarly in Qasim's column numbers possible are only 9 or 11 only, similarly in Ritesh's column numbers possible are 5,6,7,8 or 9 only and in Suresh's column numbers possible are 9,11 or 12 only.

Everyone started with 10 rupees and the total amount,i.e., 40 in each round remains the same. So we get the following table

We are given that at the end of 4th round both Pulak and Qasim had the same amount with them and that amount possible is only 11.

As per the information given in the set the only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 6 is 11.

Amounts with Pulak and Qasim at the end of round 5 is decreased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4, since the total amount will be same at the end of every round, so amounts with Ritesh and Suresh at the end of round 5 is increased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4.

Amount with Suresh at the end of round 2 is 8 and at the end of round 4 is 12, therefore, amount with Suresh at the end of round 3 is 10.

Amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is either 9 or 11. If the amount is 9 then either amount with Ritesh has to be 10 or amount with Pulak has to to be 14, both of which is not possible. Therefore, amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is 11.

Now Qasim has the same amount at the end of round 3 and round 4 so there must be another person whose amount is also same at the end of round 3 and round 4. This person can only be Pulak. So at the end of round 3 Pulak has 11 rupees and Ritesh has 8 rupees.

The only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 8 can be 11 and therefore the amount at the end of round 8 with Ritesh will be 6.

The amount with Ritesh at the end of round 8 is 2 more than the amount with him at the end of round 7, so the amount with either Pulak or Suresh at the end of round 7 has to be 2 more than the amount at the end of round 8. This is only possible for Suresh who must have 12 rupees at the end of round 7 as Pulak cannot have rupees 15 at the end of round 7.

The amount with Qasim at the end of round 7 is 1 more than the amount with him at the end of round 6. So there must be another person whose amount at the end of round 7 is 1 less than the amount him at the end of round 6. This only possible person can be Ritesh. So amount with Ritesh at the end of round 6 will be 5.

If the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 11 then the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 will be 13 which is not possible. Therefore the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 12 and the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 is 12.

The Games which had a bet of Rs.2 are as following
Round 1 - Palak vs Qasim
Round 2 - Qasim vs Suresh
Round 3 - Palak vs Suresh
Round 4 - Ritesh vs Suresh
Round 5 - None
Round 6 - Palak vs Ritesh
Round 7 - None
Round 8 - Ritesh vs Suresh
Hence total number of games that were played with a bet of 2 is 6

Its given that the table shows every time a player had ₹10 at the end of a round, as well as every time, at the end of a round, a player had either the minimum or the maximum amount that he would have had across the eight rounds, which means that in Pulak's column the numbers possible are 11 or 12 only, similarly in Qasim's column numbers possible are only 9 or 11 only, similarly in Ritesh's column numbers possible are 5,6,7,8 or 9 only and in Suresh's column numbers possible are 9,11 or 12 only.

Everyone started with 10 rupees and the total amount,i.e., 40 in each round remains the same. So we get the following table

We are given that at the end of 4th round both Pulak and Qasim had the same amount with them and that amount possible is only 11.

As per the information given in the set the only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 6 is 11.

Amounts with Pulak and Qasim at the end of round 5 is decreased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4, since the total amount will be same at the end of every round, so amounts with Ritesh and Suresh at the end of round 5 is increased by 1 from the amounts which they had at the end of round 4.

Amount with Suresh at the end of round 2 is 8 and at the end of round 4 is 12, therefore, amount with Suresh at the end of round 3 is 10.

Amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is either 9 or 11. If the amount is 9 then either amount with Ritesh has to be 10 or amount with Pulak has to to be 14, both of which is not possible. Therefore, amount with Qasim at the end of round 3 is 11.

Now Qasim has the same amount at the end of round 3 and round 4 so there must be another person whose amount is also same at the end of round 3 and round 4. This person can only be Pulak. So at the end of round 3 Pulak has 11 rupees and Ritesh has 8 rupees.

The only possible amount with Qasim at the end of round 8 can be 11 and therefore the amount at the end of round 8 with Ritesh will be 6.

The amount with Ritesh at the end of round 8 is 2 more than the amount with him at the end of round 7, so the amount with either Pulak or Suresh at the end of round 7 has to be 2 more than the amount at the end of round 8. This is only possible for Suresh who must have 12 rupees at the end of round 7 as Pulak cannot have rupees 15 at the end of round 7.

The amount with Qasim at the end of round 7 is 1 more than the amount with him at the end of round 6. So there must be another person whose amount at the end of round 7 is 1 less than the amount him at the end of round 6. This only possible person can be Ritesh. So amount with Ritesh at the end of round 6 will be 5.

If the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 11 then the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 will be 13 which is not possible. Therefore the amount with Suresh at the end of round 6 is 12 and the amount with Pulak at the end of round 6 is 12.

For round 6 the pairs formed were Pulak-Ritesh and Qasim-Suresh. For round 4 the pairs formed were Pulak-Qasim and Ritesh-Suresh.

Therefore the pairs formed for round 5 were Pulak-Suresh and Qasim-Ritesh

Let $$\frac{x}{y}\ be\ t$$

Therefore, $$c=16t\ +\ \frac{49}{t}$$

Applying AM>= GM

$$\frac{\left(16t\ +\ \frac{49}{t}\right)}{2}\ge\ \left(16t\times\frac{49}{t}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$$

$$16t\ +\ \frac{49}{t}\ge56$$

When t is positive then c is greater than equal to 56.

When t is negative then c is less than equal to -56.

Therefore $$c\ \in\ \left(-\infty,\ -56\right]\ ∪\ \left[56,\infty\ \right]$$

As -50 is not in the range of c so it is the answer

$$2x^{2}+kx+5=0$$ has no real roots so D<0

$$k^2-40\ <0$$

$$\left(k-\sqrt{40}\right)\left(k+\sqrt{40}\right)<0$$

$$k\in\left(-\sqrt{40},\sqrt{40}\right)$$

$$x^{2}+(k-5)x+1=0$$ has two distinct real roots so D>0

$$\left(k-5\right)^2-4>0$$

$$k^2-10k+21>0$$

$$\left(k-3\right)\left(k-7\right)>0$$

$$k\in\left(-\infty\ ,3\right)∪\left(7,\infty\ \right)$$

Therefore possibe value of k are -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

In 9 total 9 integer values of k are possible.

$$(\sqrt{\frac{7}{5}})^{3x-y}=\frac{875}{2401}$$

$$\left(\frac{7}{5}\right)^{\frac{\left(3x-y\right)}{2}}=\frac{125}{343}$$

$$\left(\frac{7}{5}\right)^{\frac{\left(3x-y\right)}{2}}=\left(\frac{7}{5}\right)^{-3}$$

3x-y = -6

$$(\frac{4a}{b})^{6x-y}=(\frac{2a}{b})^{y-6x}$$

Therefor, y=6x as the bases are different so the power should be zero for the results to be equal.

3x-y=-6

or, 3x - 6x = -6

or x= 2

y= 6x = 12

x+y = 14

Let the six numbers be a, b, c, d, e, f in ascending order

a+b = 28

e+f =  56

If we want to maximise the average then we have to maximise the value of c and d and maximise e and minimise f

e+f = 56

As e and f are distinct natural numbers so possible values are 27 and 29

Therefore c and d will be 25 and 26 respecitively

So average = $$\frac{\left(a+b+c+d+e+f\right)}{6}=\frac{\left(28+25+26+56\right)}{6}=\frac{135}{6}=22.5$$

Area of ABD : Area of BDC = 1:1

Therefore, area of ABD = 54

Area of ADE : Area of EDB = 1:1

Therefore, area of ADE = 27

O is the centroid and it divides the medians in the ratio of 2:1

Area of BEO : Area of EOD = 2:1

Area of EOD = 9

a, b, c, m and n are integers so if one root is $$3+2\sqrt{2}$$ then the other root is $$3-2\sqrt{2}$$

Sum of roots = 6 = -b/a  or b= -6a

Product of roots = 1 = c/a  or c=a

a, b, c, m and n are integers so if one root is $$4+2\sqrt{3}$$ then the other root is $$4-2\sqrt{3}$$

Sum of roots = 8 = -m/a or m = -8a

product of roots = 4 = n/a or n = 4a

$$(\frac{b}{m}+\frac{c-2b}{n})$$

= $$\frac{6a}{8a}+\frac{\left(a+12a\right)}{4a}=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{13}{4}=\frac{16}{4}=4$$
