CAT 2021 Quant was dominated by Arithmetic followed by Algebra. In Arithmetic, the questions were dominated by topics like Speed-time-distance, Mixture and Alligations. This year, there was a surprise. The questions from Geometry were relatively on the lower side as compared to the previous years. There were 8 TITA Qs this year. Overall this section was at a medium level of difficulty.
Question 17 : The amount Neeta and Geeta together earn in a day equals what Sita alone earns in 6 days. The amount Sita and Neeta together earn in a day equals what Geeta alone earns in 2 days. The ratio of the daily earnings of the one who earns the most to that of the one who earns the least is
Let's consider the one-day earnings of Neeta, Geeta, Sita to be n, g, s respectively.
The amount Neeta and Geeta together earn in a day equals what Sita alone earns in 6 days
n + g = 6(s) → eq(1)
The amount Sita and Neeta together earn in a day equals what Geeta alone earns in 2 days
s + n = 2(g) → eq(2)
By solving eq (1) & (2) you will get the ratio n : g : s = 11 : 7 : 3
The ratio of the daily earnings of the one who earns the most to that of the one who earns the least is 11:3
Choice B is the correct answer.
