Today we look at a few questions that appeared in XAT 2014 exam. Note that XAT 2014 questions are also a good set of practice questions for CAT 2014.
The questions below have the question followed by a Video Solution!
1.Evaluate the following:
The solution to this problem is explained in the Video below:
2. Two numbers, 297B and 792B, belong to base B number system. If the first number is a factor of the second number then the value of B is
11

15
17
19
3. Aditya has a total of 18 red and blue marbles in two bags (each bag has marbles of both colors). A marble is randomly drawn from the first bag followed by another randomly drawn from the second bag, the probability of both being red is 5/16. What is the probability of both marbles being blue?
4. The probability that a randomly chosen positive divisor of 1029 is an integer multiple of 1023 is a2/b2, then 'b - a' would be:
8

7. S = ax/(b+c+x) where all parameters are positive. If x is increased and all other terms are kept constant, S will
Increase
Decrease
Increases and then decreases
Decreases and then increases
