CAT 2023 Question Paper Slot 3

Instructions

There are only three female students - Amala, Koli and Rini - and only three male students - Biman, Mathew and Shyamal - in a course. The course has two evaluation components, a project and a test. The aggregate score in the course is a weighted average of the two components, with the weights being positive and adding to 1.

The projects are done in groups of two, with each group consisting of a female and a male student. Both the group members obtain the same score in the project.

The following additional facts are known about the scores in the project and the test.
1. The minimum, maximum and the average of both project and test scores were identical - 40, 80 and 60, respectively.
2. The test scores of the students were all multiples of 10; four of them were distinct and the remaining two were equal to the average test scores.
3. Amala’s score in the project was double that of Koli in the same, but Koli scored 20 more than Amala in the test. Yet Amala had the highest aggregate score.
4. Shyamal scored the second highest in the test. He scored two more than Koli, but two less than Amala in the aggregate.
5. Biman scored the second lowest in the test and the lowest in the aggregate.
6. Mathew scored more than Rini in the project, but less than her in the test.

Question 45

If x is a positive real number such that $$x^8 + \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^8 = 47$$, then the value of $$x^9 + \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^9$$ is

Video Solution
Question 46

Let n and m be two positive integers such that there are exactly 41 integers greater than $$8^m$$ and less than $$8^n$$, which can be expressed as powers of 2. Then, the smallest possible value of n + m is

Video Solution
Question 47

For some real numbers a and b, the system of equations $$x + y = 4$$ and $$(a+5)x+(b^2-15)y=8b$$ has infinitely many solutions for x and y. Then, the maximum possible value of ab is

Video Solution
Question 48

For a real number x, if $$\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\log_3(2^x - 9)}{\log_3 4}$$, and $$\frac{\log_5\left(2^x + \frac{17}{2}\right)}{\log_5 4}$$ are in an arithmetic progression, then the common difference is

Video Solution
Question 49

Let n be any natural number such that $$5^{n-1} < 3^{n + 1}$$. Then, the least integer value of m that satisfies $$3^{n+1} < 2^{n+m}$$ for each such n, is
