Question 02.
Two straight lines pass through the origin (x_0, y_0) = (0,0) . One of them passes through the point (x_1, y_1) = (1,3) and the other passes through the point (x_2, y_2) = (1,2) .
What is the area enclosed between the straight lines in the interval [0,1] on the x-axis?
Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||
Detailed Explanation
Equation of first straight line passing through (0,0) and (1,3)
\Rightarrow y - y_1 =\left ( \dfrac {y_2 - y_1} {x_2 - x_1} \right) (x - x_1 )
\Rightarrow y - 0 =\left ( \dfrac {3-0} {1-0} \right) ( x - 0)
y = 3x
Equation of second straight line passing through (0,0) and (1,2)
\Rightarrow y - y_1 = \left( \dfrac {y_2 - y_1} {x_2 - x_1} \right) (x - x_1)
\Rightarrow y - 0 = \left( \dfrac {2 - 0} {1 - 0} \right) (x - 0)
y = 2x
Area = \int_{0}^{1} (3x - 2x) \,dx)
= \bigg( \frac {3x^2} {2} - x^2 \bigg)_{0}^{1}
= \dfrac {1} {2} = 0.5
Another shortcut way is :
Area ABC, =Area (ABD) – Area (ACD)
= \frac {1}{2} \times 3 \times 1 - \frac {1} {2} \times 2 \times 1 = \frac {1} {2}
= 0.5 {unit}^2
Correct option is 0.5
Question 03.
If
- \text p : \text q = 1 : 2
- \text q : \text r = 4 : 3
- \text r : \text s = 4 : 5
- and “u” is 50 \% more than “s “,
what is the ratio \text p : \text u ?
Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||
Detailed Explanation
Given \dfrac {p} {q} = \dfrac {1} {2}, \dfrac {q} {r} = \dfrac {4} {3}, \dfrac {r} {s} = \dfrac {4} {5}
\Rightarrow \dfrac {r} {s} = \dfrac {4 \times 3} {5 \times 3}
\Rightarrow \dfrac {q} {r} = \dfrac {4 \times 4} {3 \times 4}
\Rightarrow \dfrac {p} {q} = \dfrac {1 \times 8} {2 \times 8 }
From above p : q : r : s \\8 : 16 : 12 : 15
\therefore \, s = 15\\ \textrm{so} \, u = 15 \times 15 = 22.5
now \dfrac {p} {q} = \dfrac {8} {22.5}
= \dfrac {80} {225} = \dfrac {16} {45}
Correct option is : 16 : 45
Question 04.
Given the statements :
- P is the sister of Q
- Q is the husband of R
- R is the mother of S
- T is the husband of P
Based on the above information, T is ______ of S.
Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||
Detailed Explanation
T is the husband of P
P is the sister of Q
Q is the husband of R
R is the mother of S
From the above statements, it is clear T is an uncle-in-law of S
Correct option is: an uncle
Question 05.
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
Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||
Detailed Explanation
From \triangledown \; PQR by Pythagoras theorem,
\Rightarrow {PR}^2 = {PQ}^2 + {QR}^2
Also, QR = RZ ,
\Rightarrow {PR}^2 = {PQ}^2 + {RZ}^2
\Rightarrow \text {Area \, of \,} PXWR = \text {Area \,of \,} SPQT +\text{ Area \,of \,} RUVZ
\Rightarrow \text {Area \, of \,} SPQT = \text {Area \, of \, } PXWR \,- \,\text {Area\, of\,} RUVZ
Correct option is : Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR – Area of RUVZ

Question 06.
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.
Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information in the above passage?
Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||
Detailed Explanation
Correct option is : Eating healthy can be started at any age, earlier the better
Question 07.
P invested Rs 5000 per month for 6 months of a year and Q invested Rs X 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, Q receives \frac {4} {9} of the total profit, what is the value of (in Rs )?
Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||
Detailed Explanation
Let total profit = y
So, profit by Q = \dfrac {4} {9} y
Profit by P = y - \dfrac {4} {9}y = \dfrac {5y} {9}
\dfrac {\text {Profit \, by} \, P} {\text{ Profit \, by }\,Q} = \dfrac {5} {9}
\dfrac {5} {4} = \dfrac {C_p T_p} {C_q T_q}
\dfrac {5}{4} = \dfrac {5000 \, \times 6} {X \times 8}
X= \dfrac {5000 \times 6 \times 4} {8 \times 5}
X = 3000
Correct option is : 3000
Question 08.
The above frequency chart shows the frequency distribution of marks obtained by a set of students in an exam.
From the data presented above, which one of the following is CORRECT?
Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||
Detailed Explanation
Mean = \dfrac {f_1 x_1 \; + \; f_2 x_2 \,...... \,+ \; f_7 x_7 } { f_1 \;+\; f_2 + \;f_3 ..... \;+ \;f_7}
= \frac {3 \times 3 + 9 \times 4 + 11 \times 5 + 7 \times 6 + 14 \times 7 + 2 \times 8 + 4 \times 9} {3 + 9 + 11 + 7 + 14 + 2 + 4}
= \dfrac {292} {50} = 5.84
Median = \dfrac{ \left(\frac{n} {2}\right)^ {th} \; + \; \left (\frac {n} {2} \;+ \;1\right)^{th}} {2}
= \dfrac { \left(\frac {50}{2}\right)^{th} + \left ( \frac {50} {2} + 1\right) ^ {th}} {2}
= \dfrac {(25)^ {th} + (26)^{th}} {2}
= \dfrac {6 + 6} {2}
= 6
Mode = observation (data with high frequency)
= 7
Hence correct option is : Mode > Medium > Mean

Question 09.
In the square grid shown below, a person standing at P_2 position is required to move to P_5 position.
The only movement allowed for a step involves, “two moves along one direction followed by one move in a perpendicular direction”. The permissible directions for movement are shown as dotted arrows in the right. For example, a person at given position Y can move only to the positions marked X on the right.
Without occupying any of the shaded squares at the end of each step, the minimum number of steps required to go from P_2 to P_5 is
