PGDBA 2022 Question Paper | Quant

PGDBA Previous Year Paper | PGDBA Quant Questions | Question 9

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.

Question 9 : Let \( a _ { 1 } , a _ { 2 } \in \mathbb { R } \) be such that \( \left| a _ { 1 } - a _ { 2 } \right| = 10 \). Consider \[ f ( x ) = \left| \begin{array} { c c c } 1 & a _ { 2 } & a _ { 1 } \\ 1 & a _ { 2 } & 2 a _ { 1 } - x \\ 1 & 2 a _ { 2 } - x & a _ { 1 } \end{array} \right| \] Then, the largest value of \( f ( x ) \) is

  1. \( 25 \)
  2. \( 30 \)
  3. \( 20 \)
  4. \( 15 \)
