The CAT QA section requires speed and accuracy, along with a thorough understanding of the Quantitative Aptitude. This article provides a set of MCQs on Quantitative Aptitude to help you understand the topic and improve your problem-solving skills with the help of detailed solutions by ensuring conceptual clarity, which will help you in the CAT preparation.
Whether you're revising the basics or testing your knowledge, these MCQs will serve as a valuable practice resource.
The CAT 2025 exam is expected to follow a similar trend to the CAT 2024, with 22 questions from the QA section out of a total of 68 questions.
1. A shopkeeper sells an item at a 20% profit. If he reduces the cost price by 10% and sells it at Rs. 10 less, he still earns a 25% profit. What is the original cost price?
6. A man can row at 6 km/h in still water. If the river flows at 2 km/h and it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and return, what is the distance to the place?
11. A right circular cone, a right circular cylinder and a hemisphere, all have the same radius, and the heights of the cone and cylinder are equal to their diameters. Then their volumes are proportional, respectively, to:
12. Two towns A and B are 100 km apart. A school is to be built for 100 students of town B and 30 students of Town A. Expenditure on transport is Rs. 1.20 per km per student. If the total expenditure on transport by all 130 students is to be as small as possible, then the school should be built at:
13. One man can do as much work in one day as a woman can do in 2 days. A child does one-third the work in a day as a woman. If an estate-owner hires 39 pairs of hands — men, women, and children — in the ratio 6 : 5 : 2 and pays them in all Rs. 1113 at the end of the day's work, what must the daily wages of a child be, if the wages are proportional to the amount of work done?
14. A right circular cone of height h is cut by a plane parallel to the base and at a distance $h/3$ from the base. Then the volumes of the resulting cone and the frustum are in the ratio:
If $(a + b\sqrt{n})$ is the positive square root of $(29 - 12\sqrt{5})$, where $a$ and $b$ are integers, and $n$ is a natural number, then the maximum possible value of $(a + b + n)$ is ?
