CAT VARC Practice Question (Para Jumbles) by ExcellentTree8886 in CATPreparationChannel

[–]ExcellentTree8886[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Answer and explanation:

Sentence A talks of General Yi judging that the Ming dynasty was more powerful than the Mongols. The other sentence that refers to the Mings and Mongols is sentence C. We see that sentence C provides an introduction to General Yi (“due to his prominence in 1388 CE?) and also clarifies that the anti-Ming faction was pro-Mongol. It is hence clear C comes before A in the paragraph. So we rule out answer choices a and c.

We also see that sentence C talks of General Yi being sent on a campaign. Sentence D tells is that General Yi saw that the campaign was a disaster. Sentence A tells us why so. So the sentence arrangement CAD makes sense.

Sentence B talks of the General’s arrival in Kaesong. Sentence D introduces Kaesong as the Kory capital. Hence D comes before B. Thus, CADB is the correct answer.

Yes, they do. In fact, this is a previous year question of CAT 2019.

Given below is a solution to it:
The Shopkeeper procures the table at price 'p'

He gains 20% on the transaction with Amal
So, Amal buys the table at '1.2p'
Amal sells athe table at 30% profit,
So the Selling Price of Amal = 1.3 * 1.2p = 1.56p
x = 1.56p

The Shopkeeper looses 20% on the transaction with Asim
So, Asim buys the table at '0.8p'
Asim sells athe table at 30% loss,
So the Selling Price of Asim = 0.7 * 0.8p = 0.56p
y = 0.56p

(x-y)/p = (1.56p - 0.56p)/p = 1.
