CMAT 2023 Slot 1 Question Paper

Option A 

57, 12, 31 56 - R, A, I, N 

Option B 

57, 21, 23, 79 - R, A, D, N

Option C

66, 44,42, 96 - R, A, O, W

Option D 

75, 30, 31, 87 - R, A, I, W 

Hence Option A is the correct answer

1st letters of each term are : C, E, G, ?, K 

We can observe that these are alternate alphabets of english alphabets 

Hence, we can say that the first alphabet of the missing term will be I 

2nd letter of each term are : A, E, I, ?, U 

We can observe that there is gap of exactly 3 alphabets between any 2 consecutive terms. 

Hence we can say that the second alphabet of the missing term will be O

3rd letter of each term are :T, R, P, ?, L 

We can observe that these are alternate alphabets in descending order. 

Hence we can say that the third alphabet of the missing term will be N

Sheela was sitting 12th from right, thus there will be 11 people to her right 

Veena was sitting 3rd from left, thus there will be 2 people to her left 

There are 15 people between Sheela and Veena. 

Thus total number of people in the row are 2+1+15+1+11 = 30

Assertion A 

Celebrity endorsement is a form of advertising campaign or marketing strategy which uses a celebrity's fame or social status to promote a product, brand or service, or to raise awareness about an issue. Marketers use celebrity endorsers in hopes that the positive image of the celebrity endorser will be passed on to the product's or brand's image.

Thus this is an correct Assertion. 

Reason R

Most celebrities are highly famous and rich people. This fame and money enables them to enjoy various luxuries of life. Thus, this is a correct statement. 

Although R is a correct statement, it cannot be the correct reason for the given assertion as brands ask celebrities to endorse their products because of the influence that celebrities have over the people and not because of their lifestyle

A. $$6 - 3 \times 2 = 9$$ 

After interchanges 

$$3 \times 6 - 2 = 9$$

This is incorrect as L.H.S = 16

B. $$6 \times 3 - 4 = 15$$

After interchanges

$$3 - 6 \times 4 = 15$$

This is incorrect as L.H.S = - 21 

C. $$3 \times 6 - 4 = 33$$

After interchanges

$$6 - 3 \times 4 = 33$$

This is incorrect as L.H.S = -6

D. $$3 - 6 \times 8 = 10$$

After interchanges

$$6 \times 3 - 8 = 10$$

This correct as L.H.S. = R.H.S. = 10 

Argument 1 : Smoking should be prohibited primarily because of the hazardous effects of it toward our health and environment. Although prohibiting smoking will save people a lot of money but this can't be the basis for banning smoking, hence this argument will be considered as an weak argument.

Argument 2 : Smoking is a billion dollar industry and lot of people are employed in this industry. Surely, banning smoking will have an adverse effect on all those people who are employed in the industry, hence this can be considered as an strong argument.

Option B is the right answer

The given relation is of raw materials and and their end product. Such as WHEAT is used to make BREAD. And BRICKS are made up of CLAY.
So, correct answer is option is CR

This is a previous year question, which is wrong in the question paper itself. But the correct answer is B,D.

The given figure is made up of triangles, let's number each triangle for better understanding. 

We can observe that triangles 1 and 2 will make a square. 

Similarly, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10 and 11 and 12 will also make a square 

Triangles 4, 5, 8 and 9 will also make a square 

Triangles 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12 will make a square and similarly triangles 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 will make a square. 

Hence there will be a total of 9 squares possible. 

In the top left quarter of circle we can observe that 

$$\left(3^2+4^2\right)\times3\ =\ 75$$

In the top right corner 

$$\left(7^2+9^2\right)\times3\ =\ 390$$

In the bottom left corner 

$$\left(11^2+8^2\right)\times3\ =\ 555$$

In the bottom right corner 

$$\left(13^2+5^2\right)\times3\ =\ 582$$
