CSAT TEST 1 ANSWERS

1. Answer (c)
• Based on the two statements, we can have these scenarios:
• Case I

•
• From this case it is clear that Conclusion-I, “All dogs are black.” is not always true.
• Case II

•
P
M
• From this case it is clear that Conclusion-II, “Some Dogs are not black.” is not always
true.
• So, seeing cases I and II we can say that none of the two conclusions logically follow
from the given statements.
• Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
SO

2. Answer (d)
• When alphabets are numbered as per its alphabetical position, then:
• GHI = 789
• DEF = 456
• ABC = 123
• According to the question,
• GHI = 1578 = 789 × 2
• DEF = 912 = 456 × 2
• ABC = 123 × 2 = 246
3. Answer (c)
• I: No cow is a cat = This statement is wrong in 2nd & 3rd possibility.
• II: No dog is rat = This statement is wrong in 3rd possibility.
• III: Some cats are rats = This is true in all cases.
• Hence only III is correct and C is the correct answer.
4. Answer (d)
• Let us take P = 3 Q = 2 in S1.
• S2: p + q is an odd integer
• pq is an even integer
• Let us take P = 3 Q = 7 in S1
• S2: p + q = 10 is an even integer

 • Pq is an odd integer
• Hence, to decide if pq is an odd integer,
• both S1 and S2 are necessary.
• Hence D is the correct answer.

Answer (b)
Answer (a)
P
• Zeros at the end means multiple of 10, i.e. (2 × 5).
M
• So, the number of 2s or the number of 5s (whichever is lesser) will decide the number
of zeros at the end of the expression.
• Now, 1 × 5 × 10 × 15 × 20 × 25 × 30 × 35 × 40 × 45 × 50 × 55 × 60 = 1 × 5 × (5 × 2) × (5
× 3) × (5 × 22) × (5 × 5) × (5 × 3 × 2) × (5 × 7) × (5 × 23) × (5 × 9) × (5 × 5 × 2) × (5 × 11)
SO

× (5 × 22 × 3)
• Here, number of 2s = 10
• And number of 5s = 14
• The lesser of the two will determine the number of zeros. Hence, there will be 10
zeros at the end in the given expression.
12. Answer (d)
• Given that n is a digit greater than 3.
• It is divisible by 3 but not divisible by 6.
• Let n = 9
• Now checking the options:
(a) 2n = 2 × 9 = 18, which is not divisible by 4.
(b) 3n = 3 × 9 = 27, which is not divisible by 4.
(c) 2n + 4 = 2 9 + 4 = 22, which is not divisible by 4.
(d) 3n + 1 = 3 × 9 + 1 = 28, which is divisible by 4.
• Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
13. Answer (c)

14. Answer (b)
• If R and S are multiple of 5, then R + S may or may not be divisible by 10.
• To solve such questions, always take actual values and check.
• For example, if R=20 and S=15. You will see that only (B) is correct.
15. Answer (c)
• Method I:
• Average score after 50 innings = 46.4
• So, total score after 50 innings = 50 × 46.4 = 2320
• Average score after 60 innings = 46.4 + 2.6 = 49
• So, total score after 60 innings = 60 × 49 = 2940
• Hence, Average score of 10 innings = Runs scored in 10 innings/10 = (2940 – 2320)/10
= 620/10 = 62
• Method II:
• Average score after 50 innings = 46.4
• After 10 more innings his average increases by 2.6 runs, so his average
• becomes 49.
• Runs that he need to score in order to make this increase effective = The runs he need
to fill the gap in average in the last 50 innings + The runs he need to make in the 10
P
innings with an average of 49 = (2.6 × 50) 55 + (49 × 10) = 130 + 490 = 620
• So, his average in last ten innings = Runs scored in 10 innings/10 = 620/10 = 62

• Position of A: 16th from left end
• Position of V: 18th from right end
• Position of G: 11th from A towards the right and 3rd from V towards the right.
SO

• Now, two cases are possible:

• Case I: A is to the right of V
• This case is not possible, because it is given that G is 11th to the right from A. If A is to
the right of V and G is further 11 positions to the right of A, then G must be atleast 12
positions to the right of V.
• But as per the question G is only three positions to the right from V.
• Case II: A is to the left of V

• G is 3rd from V towards the right, so position of G = 18 – 3 = 15th from right

• end.
• G is 11th from A towards the right, so position of G = 16 + 11 = 27th from left end.

• It’s given that: Length of stick S1 = 7.5 feet and Length of stick S2 = 3.25 feet
M
• To get the minimum length which we can measure, we will use stick S2 and measure
the length of stick S1.
• Therefore, we get: Total length of S1 = 3.25 + 3.25 + remaining length of S1
• Or 6.5 + remaining length of S1 = 7.5
SO

• Or remaining length of S1 = 7.5 – 6.5 = 1 foot
