DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.

Every day a widget supplier supplies widgets from the warehouse (W) to four locations – Ahmednagar (A), Bikrampore (B), Chitrachak (C), and Deccan Park (D). The daily demand for widgets in each location is uncertain and independent of each other. Demands and corresponding probability values (in parenthesis) are given against each location (A, B, C, and D) in the figure below. For example, there is a 40% chance that the demand in Ahmednagar will be 50 units and a 60% chance that the demand will be 70 units. The lines in the figure connecting the locations and warehouse represent two-way roads connecting those places with the distances (in km) shown beside the line. The distances in both the directions along a road are equal. For example, the road from Ahmednagar to Bikrampore and the road from Bikrampore to Ahmednagar are both 6 km long.

CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Set 2

Every day the supplier gets the information about the demand values of the four locations and creates the travel route that starts from the warehouse and ends at a location after visiting all the locations exactly once. While making the route plan, the supplier goes to the locations in decreasing order of demand. If there is a tie for the choice of the next location, the supplier will go to the location closest to the current location. Also, while creating the route, the supplier can either follow the direct path (if available) from one location to another or can take the path via the warehouse. If both paths are available (direct and via warehouse), the supplier will choose the path with minimum distance.

6. If the last location visited is Ahmednagar, then what is the total distance covered in the route (in km)? (in numerical value only)

CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 2While making the route plan, the supplier goes to the locations in decreasing order of demand and if the last location is Ahmednagar, then it must have least demand (50 units) So, the supplier must have supplied the order in the following manner- C (70 or 100 units) > B (60 units) > D (50 units) ≥ A (50 units) The total distance (minimum) covered W – C – B – W – D – W – A = 12 + 4 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 5 = 35 km

7. If the total number of widgets delivered in a day is 250 units, then what is the total distance covered in the route (in km)? (in numerical value only)

CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 2The total number of widgets delivered in a day = 250 units Only possible combination, A (70 units) + B (60 units) + C (70 units) + D (50 units) = 250 units Order of delivery, A (70 units) ≥ C (70 units) > B (60 units) > D (50 units) The total distance (minimum) covered W – A – W – C – B –W – D = 5 + 5 + 12 + 4 + 10 + 2 = 38 km

8. What is the chance that the total number of widgets delivered in a day is 260 units and the route ends at Bikrampore?

  1. 80%
  2. 64%
  3. 33%
  4. 56%

CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 2The total number of widgets delivered in a day = 260 units Also, the route ends at Bikrampore, only order possible C (100 units) > A (70 units) > D (50 units) > B (40 units) Required chance = 70% × 60% × 60% × 30% = 7.56%

9. If the first location visited from the warehouse is Ahmednagar, then what is the chance that the total distance covered in the route is 40 km?

  1. 24%
  2. 30%
  3. 18%
  4. 4%

DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the information given below and answer the question that follows.

A few salesmen are employed to sell a product called TRICCEK among households in various housing complexes. On each day, a salesman is assigned to visit one housing complex. Once a salesman enters a housing complex, he can meet any number of households in the time available. However, if a household makes a complaint against the salesman, then he must leave the housing complex immediately and cannot meet any other household on that day. A household may buy any number of TRICCEK items or may not buy any item. The salesman needs to record the total number of TRICCEK items sold as well as the number of households met in each day. The success rate of a salesman for a day is defined as the ratio of the number of items sold to the number of households met on that day. Some details about the performances of three salesmen – Tohri, Hokli and Lahur, on two particular days are given below.

    1. Over the two days, all three of them met the same total number of households, and each of them sold a total of 100 items.
    2. On both days, Lahur met the same number of households and sold the same number of items.
    3. Hokli could not sell any item on the second day because the first household he met on that day complained against him.
    4. Tohri met 30 more households on the second day than on the first day.
    5. Tohri’s success rate was twice that of Lahur’s on the first day, and it was 75% of Lahur’s on the second day.

16. What was the total number of households met by Tohri, Hokli and Lahur on the first day? (in numerical value)

CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer 16.1 CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer 16.2

17. How many TRICCEK items were sold by Tohri on the first day? (in numerical value only)

Let the total number of households each met over the two days = 2h Total number of items sold by each over the two days = 100 Let the number of TRICCEK sold on day 1 by Tohri = n => the number of TRICCEK sold on day 2 by Tohri = 100 – n The rest of the information can be gathered as follows CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.1 Tohri’s success rate was twice that of Lahur’s on the first day, => n/(h – 15) = 2 × (50/h) Solving, nh = 100h – 1500 Also, Tohri’s success rate was 75% of Lahur’s on the second day, => (100 – n)/h + 15) = (75/100) × (50/h) Solving, 200h – 2nh = 75h + 1125 Substituting the value of nh, => 200h – 2(100h – 1500) = 75h + 1125 => 3000 = 75h + 1125 => h = 25 Substituting again, 25n = 2500 – 1500 = 1000 => n = 40 CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.2 Now we can answer the questions The number of TRICCEK items sold by Tohri on the first day = 40

18. How many households did Lahur meet on the second day?

  1. 20 or less
  2. Between 21 and 29
  3. More than 35
  4. Between 30 and 35

Let the total number of households each met over the two days = 2h Total number of items sold by each over the two days = 100 Let the number of TRICCEK sold on day 1 by Tohri = n => the number of TRICCEK sold on day 2 by Tohri = 100 – n The rest of the information can be gathered as follows CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.1 Tohri’s success rate was twice that of Lahur’s on the first day, => n/(h – 15) = 2 × (50/h) Solving, nh = 100h – 1500 Also, Tohri’s success rate was 75% of Lahur’s on the second day, => (100 – n)/h + 15) = (75/100) × (50/h) Solving, 200h – 2nh = 75h + 1125 Substituting the value of nh, => 200h – 2(100h – 1500) = 75h + 1125 => 3000 = 75h + 1125 => h = 25 Substituting again, 25n = 2500 – 1500 = 1000 => n = 40 CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.2 Now we can answer the questions The number of households Lahur met on the second day = 25 Hence, between 21 and 29

19. How many households did Tohri meet on the first day?

  1. Between 21 and 40
  2. 10 or less
  3. More than 40
  4. Between 11 and 20

Let the total number of households each met over the two days = 2h Total number of items sold by each over the two days = 100 Let the number of TRICCEK sold on day 1 by Tohri = n => the number of TRICCEK sold on day 2 by Tohri = 100 – n The rest of the information can be gathered as follows CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.1 Tohri’s success rate was twice that of Lahur’s on the first day, => n/(h – 15) = 2 × (50/h) Solving, nh = 100h – 1500 Also, Tohri’s success rate was 75% of Lahur’s on the second day, => (100 – n)/h + 15) = (75/100) × (50/h) Solving, 200h – 2nh = 75h + 1125 Substituting the value of nh, => 200h – 2(100h – 1500) = 75h + 1125 => 3000 = 75h + 1125 => h = 25 Substituting again, 25n = 2500 – 1500 = 1000 => n = 40 CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.2 Now we can answer the questions The number of households Tohri met on the first day = 10 Hence, 10 or less

20. Which of the following statements is FALSE?

  1. Among the three, Tohri had the highest success rate on the second day.
  2. Tohri had a higher success rate on the first day compared to the second day.
  3. Among the three, Tohri had the highest success rate on the first day.
  4. Among the three, Lahur had the lowest success rate on the first day.

Let the total number of households each met over the two days = 2h Total number of items sold by each over the two days = 100 Let the number of TRICCEK sold on day 1 by Tohri = n => the number of TRICCEK sold on day 2 by Tohri = 100 – n The rest of the information can be gathered as follows CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.1 Tohri’s success rate was twice that of Lahur’s on the first day, => n/(h – 15) = 2 × (50/h) Solving, nh = 100h – 1500 Also, Tohri’s success rate was 75% of Lahur’s on the second day, => (100 – n)/h + 15) = (75/100) × (50/h) Solving, 200h – 2nh = 75h + 1125 Substituting the value of nh, => 200h – 2(100h – 1500) = 75h + 1125 => 3000 = 75h + 1125 => h = 25 Substituting again, 25n = 2500 – 1500 = 1000 => n = 40 CAT 2022 DILR Slot 2 Answer Set 4.2 Now we can answer the questions Going by options, 1. Among the three, Tohri had the highest success rate on the second day. Lahur had the highest success rate on the second day Hence, statement 1 is false. 2. Tohri had a higher success rate on the first day compared to the second day. Statement 2 is true 3. Among the three, Tohri had the highest success rate on the first day. Statement 3 is true 4.
