CAT Previous Year Paper | CAT Quant Questions | Question 7

CAT 2022 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

Triangle
O is the centroid of the triangle ABC,that means,
BO : OD = 2 : 1
CO : OE = 2 : 1
Ar(BOC) : Ar(ODC) = 2 : 1
Ar(COB) : Ar(OEB) = 2 : 1
Triangle
Since BD is the median, Ar(BDA) = Ar(BDC)
This means Ar(AEOD) = 2x
2x + x + x + 2x = 108
6x = 108
Ar(AEOD) = 2x = 36
Triangle
Since ED is the line joining the midpoints of AB and AC, Ar(AED) = ¼ Ar(ABC)
Ar(AED) = ¼ Ar(108) = 27
Ar(EOD) = Ar(AEOD) - Ar(AED) = 36 - 27 = 9 sq cm


The question is " Suppose the medians BD and CE of a triangle ABC intersect at a point O. If area of triangle ABC is 108 sq. cm., then, the area of the triangle EOD, in sq. cm., is "

Hence, the answer is '9'
