Quantitative Aptitude - Number Systems
Question
If a, b, c are three positive integers such that a and b are in the ratio 3 : 4 while b and c are in the ratio 2:1, then which one of the following is a possible value of (a + b + c)?
A) 201
B) 205
C) 207
D) 210
Answer
Option (C)
Solution
From CAT 2017 - Quantitative Aptitude - Number Systems, we can see that,
Let us take a = 3x and b = 4x
Also, b = 2y and c = y
4x = 2y => y = 2x
Now, c =

Quantitative Aptitude – Number System – If the sum of squares of two numbers
Slot -2 – Quantitative Aptitude – Number System – If the sum of squares of two numbers is 97
If the sum of squares of two numbers is 97, then which one of the following cannot be their product?
a) −32
b) 16
c) 48
d) 64
Answer: d) 64
Solution: let numbers are a and b.
Given, a^2+b^2=97
Using A.M.≥G.M
(a^2+b^2)/2 ≥ (a^2 b^2 )^(1/2)=ab
ab ≤ 97/2 = 48.5
Thus product of numbers can not be greater than 48.5
Option d) 6

Slot -2 – Quantitative Aptitude – Number System – The smallest integer n for which
The smallest integer n for which 4^n > 17^19 holds, is closest to?
a) 33
b) 35
c) 37
d) 39
Answer: d) 39
Solution:
Given , 4^n > 17^19
Or 16^(n/2) > 17^19
Now from the given options, the only possible value of n is 39 as for other
values n/2 will be less than 19 and 16 < 17.
Correct answer d) 39

Slot -1 – Quantitative Aptitude – Arithmetic - Number System – While multiplying three real numbers
While multiplying three real numbers, Ashok took one of the numbers as 73 instead of 37. As a result, the product went up by 720. Then the minimum possible value of the sum of squares of the other two numbers is?
Answer: 40
Solution: Let the other two numbers are a & b so
73ab - 37ab = 720
Or 36ab = 720
ab = 20

Quantitative Aptitude – Number System – The number of integers x such
Slot -1 - Quantitative Aptitude – Number System – The number of integers x such that 0.25
The number of integers x such that 0.25 <2x < 200, and 2x +2 is perfectly divisible by either 3 or 4, is?
Answer: 5
Solution: as given 0.25 < 2x < 200
Or ¼ < 2x < 200
So x = { -2, -1, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
Now 2x +2 will be perfectly divisible by 3 if x is even non-negative integer and will be divisible by 4 if x = 1
So numb
