Re: CAT Model questions papers
This is the CAT Model questions paper: 1. Consider the set 2,3, 4........2 1 , S n where m is n positive integer than 2007.

Ten years ago, the ages of the members of a joint family of eight people added up to 231 years. Three years later, one member died at the age of 60 years and a child was born during the same year.

A function f(x) satisfies f(1) = 3600, and f(1) + f(2)+ ……+f(n) = n2f(n), for all positive integers n > 1. what is the value of f(9)? a. 80 b. 240 c. 200 d. 100 e. 120 4. Suppose you have a currency, named Miso, in three denominations: 1 Miso, 10 Misos and 50 Misos. In how many ways can you pay a bill of 107 Misos? a. 17 b. 16 c. 18 d. 15 e. 19 5. A confused bank teller transposed the rupees and paise when he cashed a cheque for Shailaja, giving her rupees instead of paise and paise instead of rupees.

If the heaviest student say Deepak, of Section II is moved to Section I, and the lightest Student, say Poonam, of Section I is moved to Section II, then the average weights of the two sections are switched, i.e., the average weight of Section I becomes WII and that of Section II becomes WI.
