This branch witnesses the highest number of GATE aspirants, and key details are outlined below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Questions 1 to 5 carry ONE mark each.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Q1. You should _________ when to say ________.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) no\/no<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) no \/ know<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) know\/know<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) know\/no<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first blank, we need a base form verb to follow the modal SHOULD, and for the second blank, we need an interjection. KNOW (be aware of) will fit in the first blank, and NO (used to indicate a negative response) will fit in the second blank. The sentence tells us how one must be aware of when one must refuse. Thus, D is the right answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q2. Two straight lines pass through the origin (xo<\/sub>, yo<\/sub>) = (0,0). One of them passes through the point (x1<\/sub>, y1<\/sub>) = (1, 3) and the other passes through the point ((x2<\/sub>, y2<\/sub>) = (1, 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is the area (in square units) enclosed between the straight lines in the interval [0, 1] on the x \u2013 axis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) 0.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) 1.0<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) 1.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) 2.0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Required area = Area of triangle ABC<\/p>\n\n\n\n Area of triangle = (1\/2) \u00d7 base \u00d7 Height<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, area of triangle ABC = (1\/2) \u00d7 AB \u00d7 height of the triangle<\/p>\n\n\n\n AB = 1 units and height of the triangle = 1 unit<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, required area = (1\/2) \u00d7 1 \u00d7 1 = 0.5 square units<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q3. If p:q = 1:2, q:r = 4:3 and r:s = 4:5 and \u2018u\u2019 is 50% more than \u2018s\u2019, then what is the ratio p:u?<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) 2:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) 16:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) 1:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) 16:45<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let p = \u201812x\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, q = 12x \u00d7 (2\/1) = \u201824x\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n And \u2018r\u2019 = 24x \u00d7 (3\/4) = \u201818x\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n And \u2018s\u2019 = 18x \u00d7 (5\/4) = \u201822.5x\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, \u2018u\u2019 = 22.5x \u00d7 (3\/2) = \u201833.75x\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, required ratio = 12x: 33.75x = 16 : 45<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q4. Given the statements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n P is the sister of Q.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q is the husband of R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n R is the mother of S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n T is the husband of P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the above information, T is _______ of S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) the grandfather<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) an uncle<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) the father<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) a brother<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clues:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) P is the sister of Q.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2) Q is the husband of R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) R is the mother of S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4) T is the husband of P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inferences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From clue 1 and 2, P is sister of Q, who is husband of R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From clue 3 and 4, S is either son or daughter of Q. T is husband of P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We draw the following Blood relation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n T is an uncle of S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q5. In the following diagram, the point R is the center of the circle. The lines PQ and ZV are tangential to the circle. The relation among the areas of the squares, PXWR, RUVZ and SPQT is<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) Area of SPQT = Area of RUVZ = Area of PXWR<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR \u2013 Area of RUVZ<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) Area of PXWR = Area of SPQT \u2013 Area of RUVZ<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) Area of PXWR = Area of RUVZ \u2013 Area of SPQT<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let \u2018QR\u2019 = \u2018r\u2019 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, area of square RUVZ = r2<\/sup> (As QR = RU = radius of the circle)<\/p>\n\n\n\n And \u2018PR\u2019 = \u2018a\u2019 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n And area of square PXWR = a2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since, PQ is tangent of the given circle, \u2220PQR = 90o<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, PQR is a right-angled triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And Length of PQ = \u221a(a2<\/sup> \u2013 r2<\/sup>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, area of square SPQT = {\u221a(a2<\/sup> \u2013 r2<\/sup>)}2<\/sup> = a2<\/sup> \u2013 r2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR \u2013 Area of RUVZ<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Questions 6 to 10 carry TWO marks each.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Q6.<\/strong> Healthy eating is a critical component of healthy aging. When should one start eating healthy? It turns out that it is never too early. For example, babies who start eating healthy in the first year are more likely to have better overall health as they get older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information in the passage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) Healthy eating is important for those with good health conditions, but not for others<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) Eating healthy can be started at any age, earlier the better<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) Eating healthy and better overall health are more correlated at a young age, but not older<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) Healthy eating is more important for adults than kids<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The given text tells us how it is never too early to start eating healthy. It also gives an example of babies who start eating healthy in the first year, and how they have better overall health as they get older. From this, we can conclude that eating healthy can be begun at any age, but the earlier one does, the better it is. Thus, B is the right answer. Q7.<\/strong> \u2018P\u2019 invested \u20b9 5,000 per month for 6 months of year and \u2018Q\u2019 invested \u20b9\u2019x\u2019 per month for 8 months of the year in a partnership business. The profit is shared in proportion to the total investment made in that year. If at the end of that investment year, \u2018Q\u2019 receives (1) 2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) 3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) 4687<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) 8437<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ratio of profit shares of \u2018P\u2019 and \u2018Q\u2019 at the end of the year = 5:4<\/p>\n\n\n\n ATQ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n {(5000 \u00d7 6)\/(x \u00d7 8)} = (5\/4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or, 120000 = 40x<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, x = 3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q8. The frequency chart given below shows the frequency distribution of marks obtained by a set of students in an exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the data presented above, which one of the following is CORRECT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) Mean > mode > median<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) Mode > median > mean<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) Mode > mean > median<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) Median > mode > mean<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mean = Sum of observations \u00f7 Total number of observations<\/p>\n\n\n\n Total number of observations = 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, median = mean of (50\/2)th<\/sup> and (50\/2 + 1)th<\/sup> term<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, median term = mean of 25th<\/sup> and 26th <\/sup>term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here both 25th<\/sup> and 26th<\/sup> term are 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, median = (6 + 6)\/2 = 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n And mode = Marks obtained by maximum students i.e., 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, mode > median > mean<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q9. In the square grid shown on the left, a person standing at P2 position is required to move to P5 position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only movement allowed for a step involves, \u201ctwo moves along one direction followed by one move in a perpendicular direction\u201d. The permissible directions for movement are shown as dotted arrows in the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, a person at a given position Y can move only to the positions marked X on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without occupying any of the shaded squares at the end of each step, the minimum number of steps required to go from P2 to P5 is<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, as it is given that person will move \u2018two moves along one direction followed by one move in a perpendicular direction\u2019. And he\/she cannot occupy the shaded portion but they can go through the shaded portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minimum step required to go from P2 to P5 is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, he moves from P2 to Q4, then from Q4 to S3, then from S3 to T5, then from T5 to R4 and at last from R4 to P5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the minimum number of steps required is \u20185\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the minimum number of steps required is \u20185\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q10.<\/strong> Consider a cube made by folding a single sheet of paper of appropriate shape. The interior faces of the cube are all blank and the exterior faces that are not visible are also blank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which one of the following represents a possible unfolding of the cube?<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) <\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) <\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) <\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This question in the paper was wrong. So, we have made some changes to the question to make it correct<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, we see that the straight line is perpendicular to the black portion and parallel to the grey portion of the dice. So, by this we can eliminate option \u2018a\u2019, \u2018b\u2019 and \u2018c\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) Could help laughing<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) Couldn\u2019t help laughed<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) Couldn\u2019t help laughing<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) Could helped laughed<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We need a verb clause to agree with the subject pronoun I. COULDN\u201dT HELP LAUGHING means to be unable to control one\u2019s laughter, and will fit here as the sentence tells us how the movie was funny and made the speaker laugh. Thus, C is the right answer. (1) 0.75<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) 1.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) 2.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) 3.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n Answer key: 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let \u2018x\u2019 = \u201812a\u2019 {LCM (2, 3 and 4)}<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, \u2018y\u2019 = 12a \u00f7 (1\/2) \u00d7 (1\/3) = \u20188a\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n And \u2018z\u2019 = 12a \u00f7 (1\/2) \u00d7 (1\/4) = \u20186a\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, required value = (12a + 6a \u2013 8a) \u00f7 8a = \u20181.25\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hence, option b.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSubject<\/strong><\/td> No. of Questions<\/strong><\/td> Marks<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> Engineering Mathematics<\/td> 10<\/td> 13<\/td><\/tr> General aptitude<\/td> 10<\/td> 15<\/td><\/tr> Civil engineering subject<\/td> 45<\/td> 72<\/td><\/tr> Total<\/strong><\/td> 65<\/strong><\/td> 100<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n
