CAT Previous Year Paper | CAT Quant Questions | Question 6

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.

Explanatory Answer

Anil can paint a house in 60 days. So, he can do \\frac{1}{60}) of work per day.
Bimal can paint it in 84 days. So, he can do \\frac{1}{84}) of work per day.
Let’s assume charu can paint it in ‘c’ days. So, he can do \\frac{1}{c}) of work per day.
Anil alone does the work for 10 days. So, the work completed is \\frac{1}{6})
The remaining work is \\frac{5}{6}).
After that, for 14 days they worked together.
\\frac{14}{60})+ \\frac{14}{84}) + \\frac{14}{c}) = \\frac{5}{6})
\\frac{1}{c}) = \\frac{13}{30 \times 14})
Charu does his work for 14 days. So, the total work done by charu is \\frac{13}{30}).
The amount earned by charu = \\frac{13}{30}) x 21000 = Rs 9100


The answer is '9100'

Choice B is the correct answer.
