National Institute of Management Studies (NIMS) conducts its entrance test called National
Admission Test (NAT) for admission to its flagship two-year MBA course. The QA section of
NAT-2018 had 34 questions, all of which were multiple choice format questions. The
following was the marking scheme for NAT-2018:
I. Each correct answer fetched 12 marks. There was negative marking for incorrect answers.
For each incorrect answer, four marks were deducted from the score of a student.
II. Additionally, there was a progressive penalty for skipped questions, as specified in the
table below:
For example, a student who skipped 6 questions lost 0 × 4 + 1 × (6 – 4) = 2 marks on account

of these 6 skipped questions. Similarly, a student who skipped 18 questions lost 0 × 4 + 1 × 4
+ 2 × 4 + 3 × 4 + 4 × 2 = 32 marks on account of these 18 skipped questions.
III. The exam is computerized and the questions are presented to students one at a time.
Once a student sees the question, he/she has only two options before seeing the next
question: either attempt the question or skip the question. After a student attempts/skips a
question, the next question is presented and he/she is not able to revisit the questions that
are already attempted/skipped.
IV. All the questions that a student is unable to answer in the stipulated time of one hour are
considered to be ‘skipped’ by the student. For example, if a student is able to answer only 30
questions in the section at the end of one hour, the remaining 4 questions in the section are
considered to be skipped by the student.
V. Cumulative score of a student at the end of each question (considering the penalty on
account of incorrect and skipped questions) is calculated. For example, if a student gets one
answer correct, one answer incorrect and skips one question out of the first three, his/her
cumulative score at the end of the 3rd question will be
12 – 4 – 0 = 8.
Similarly, the total score of a student at the end of the stipulated time is calculated after
deducting the marks on account of penalty for the questions that were not visited by the
student (and hence were considered to be skipped).
1. Which of the following cannot be a valid cumulative score that a student could have
obtained at the end of 10 questions in that section?
A.43 B..34 C.27 D.30
2. Which of the following can be a valid score that a student could have obtained in the section
if it is known that he/she attempted 28 questions in the section?
A..62 B.74 C.86 D.98
3. It is known that a student scored exactly 100 marks in the section.

What can be the maximum number of questions that the student could have attempted
(either correctly or incorrectly) in the section? (Write 35 if it is not possible to score 100
marks in the section)
4. It is known that a student scored exactly 100 marks in the section.

What can be the minimum number of questions that a student could have attempted (either
correctly or incorrectly) in the section? (Write 35 if it is not possible to score 100 marks in

Adam and Paco together play a game. In each round of the game, each of them wagers $1.
Game-master Gogo tosses an unbiased six faced die and the result is decided as follows:
For Adam: If the number is 2 or less, he loses the $1 he had wagered. If the number is 5 or
more, he gains $1. Otherwise, he has no gain or loss.
For Paco: If the number is a perfect square, he loses $1. If the number is divisible by 3, he
gains $1. Otherwise, he has no gain or loss.

Mathematicians are assigned a number called Erdös number (named after the famous
mathematician, Paul Erdös). Only Paul Erdös himself has an Erdös number of zero. Any
mathematician who has written a research paper with Erdös has an Erdös number of 1. For
other mathematicians, the calculation of his/her Erdös number is illustrated below:
Suppose that a mathematician X has co-authored papers with several other mathematicians.
From among them, mathematician Y has the smallest Erdös number. Let the Erdös number
of Y be y. Then X has an Erdös number of y + 1. Hence any mathematician with no co-
authorship chain connected to Erdös has an Erdös number of infinity. In a seven day long
mini-conference organized in memory of Paul Erdös, a close group of eight mathematicians,
call them A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, discussed some research problems. At the beginning of the
conference, A was the only participant who had an infinite Erdös number. Nobody had an
Erdös number less than that of F.
• On the third day of the conference F co-authored a paper jointly with A and C. This
reduced the average Erdös number of the group of eight mathematicians to 3. The Erdös
numbers of B, D, E, G and H remained unchanged with the writing of this paper. Further, no
other co-authorship among any three members would have reduced the average Erdös
number of the group of eight to as low as 3.
• At the end of the third day, five members of this group had identical Erdös numbers while
the other three had Erdös numbers distinct from each other.
• On the fifth day, E co-authored a paper with F which reduced the group’s average Erdös
number by 0.5. The Erdös numbers of the remaining six were unchanged with the writing of
this paper.
• No other paper was written during the conference.

1. B
Each correct answer fetches 12 marks while each incorrect answer deducts 4
marks from the score. Therefore the score of a student on account of attempted
(either correct or incorrect) questions is a multiple of 4.
If a student attempts 6 or more questions, there will be no penalty for
skipped questions. Therefore the score of the student in that case will be a
multiple of 4. None of the options for the question is a multiple of
4. Therefore the student attempted fewer than 6 questions.
If a student attempts 5 questions and skips 5 questions, he/she will lose
one mark on account of skipped questions (0 × 4 + 1 × (5 – 4) =
1. Therefore the score of the student can be of the form 4n – 1. Two options, 43
and 27 are of the form 4n – 1. A student can score 43 if he/she gets 4 answers
correct, 1 incorrect and skips 5. Similarly a student can get 27 if he/she gets 3
answers correct, 2 incorrect and skips 5.
If a student attempts 4 questions and skips 6 questions, he/she will lose
two marks on account of skipped questions (0 × 4 + 1 × (6 – 4) =
2. Therefore the score of the student will be of the form 4n – 2. Both the
remaining options are of the form 4n – 2.
A student can score 30 marks if he/she gets 3 answers correct, 1 incorrect
and skips 6.
If a student attempts 3 questions, the number of questions skipped would be
7. In that case, he/she will lose 3 marks on account of skipped questions 0 × 4 +
1 × (7 – 4) = 3. In that case, the maximum score a student can score can be 12 × 3
– 3 = 33. If a student attempted fewer than 3 questions, the maximum score will
be even lower.
Therefore it is not possible to score 34.
2. A
If a student attempted 28 questions, the number of questions skipped = 6 and
the number of marks lost on account of skipped questions = (0 × 4) + 1 × (6 – 4) =
2
If out of 28 questions attempted, a student gets (x) correct
and (28 – x) incorrect, the score of the student will be 12 × x – 4(28 – x) – 2 = 16x
– 112 – 2 = 16 × (x – 7) – 2. Therefore the score of the student will be of the form
16n – 2. Out of the given options, only 62 is of the form 16n – 2. If a student gets
11 answers correct, 17 incorrect and skips 6, the score will be 11 × 12 – 17 × 4 – 2
= 62.
3. [31]
The score of the student is 100, a multiple of 4. If a student doesn’t
lose any mark on account of skipped questions, his/her score will be a multiple of
4, as seen in the explanatory answers to previous questions. Let’s first check if a
score of 100 can be obtained in the section if up-to 4 questions are skipped (or
30/31/32/33/34 questions are attempted).
If x is the number of correct answers and y is the number of incorrect answers,
we have
12x – 4y = 100 and
x + y = 30 or 31 or 32 or 33 or 34.
A valid solution is the one that gives values of x and y that are natural numbers.
We have, x = 14 and y = 17 are the natural number values of x and y that satisfy
the equations. Therefore, the maximum number of questions that a student can
attempt and get a score of 100 is 31.
4. [26]
As seen in the explanatory answers to the previous questions, the
marks obtained by a student due to attempted questions is a multiple of 4. Since
the score of the student is 100 (a multiple of 4), the marks lost by the student
from skipped questions is also a multiple of 4.
The marks that are multiples of 4 that a student can lose on account of skipped
questions can be 4/8/12/24/28/32/36…. Accordingly, we get the following table.
It can be seen that a student can score 100 marks if he/she gets 13 answers
correct, 13 answers incorrect and skips 8 questions. However, it is not possible to
get the marks equal to the marks shown in the fourth row of the table by
attempting the number of questions equal to the number in the second row of
the table for other cases.
Therefore, the required answer is 26.

We can list out the numbers for which each of the players will win, lose, or break
even:
Lose $1 Gain $1 NO gain or loss

Adam 1 or 2 5 or 6 3 or 4
Paco 1 or 4 3 or 6 2 or 5
In every round, each of them has lost $1. For both to lose, the number rolled in
each round must be 1. Hence the total must be 5.

We can list out the numbers for which each of the players will win, lose, or break
even:
Lose $1 Gain $1 NO gain or loss

Adam 1 or 2 5 or 6 3 or 4
Paco 1 or 4 3 or 6 2 or 5
If the number rolled is 2 or 3, Paco has $1 more than Adam. If the number is 4 or
5, Adam has $1 more than Paco. If the number is 1 or 6, they both gain or lose
the equal amount. So if 3 different numbers are rolled, the maximum Adam can
gain over Paco is $2 (if the numbers are 4, 5 and either 1 or 6) and similarly the
maximum Paco can gain over Adam is $2 (if the numbers are 2, 3 and 1 or 6).
7. D
Adam must have won 3 and made no gain or loss in 1. Paco must have won 3 and
lost 1 or else won 2 and made no gain or loss in 2. Let us try out the cases:
In following cases, Adam can win 3 coins in 4 rounds:
So there are two cases, where Adam wins 3 coins and Paco wins 2 coins.
Sum of the numbers of these 2 cases:
Case 1 : 3 + 5 + 5 + 6 = 19
Case 2 : 4 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 22
8. B
At the end of three rounds, starting from 5, the values achieved by each of the
players must range between 2 and 8. So the cases in which one has double the
amount of the other will be (4, 2), (6, 3) or (8, 4).
Case 1: (4, 2) For Pablo to get 2 he must lose all three rounds, while Andrew, to
get 4 must lose one round and have no gain or loss in the other two. This can be
achieved by the rolls 1, 4, 4. So option [1] is possible.
Case 2: (6, 3) For Pablo to get 3 he must lose two rounds and neither gain nor
lose in one.
(i) Andrew on the other hand must gain in two rounds and have a loss in one
round. It is not possible for Andrew to win and for Pablo to lose in the same
round and hence this case is not achievable.
(ii) Andrew on the other hand must gain in one round and have no loss or gain in
the other two. This can be achieved by the rolls 5, 4, 4. So option [3] is possible.
Case 3: (8, 4) For Andrew to reach 8, he must win all three rolls. Also, For Pablo
to reach 4 he must lose at least 1. It is not possible for Andrew to win and for
Pablo to lose in the same round and hence this case is not achievable. So, option

As each team won a different number of matches, the values can be 0, 1, 2, 3
and 4. Same is the case with the number of matches lost.
And the team who has won all the four matches must be the team who lost
none.
Similarly, the sum of the number of matches won and lost for any team will be 4.
(This is since both the number of matches won are distinct for teams and the
number of matches lost are also distinct and there is a total of 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
matches).
From (IV) and (V), only Chandigarh Kings and Kolkata Riders can be the teams
who either won all the four matches or lost all the four matches.
But given that Kolkata Riders has lost more matches than Hyderabad Volcanoes
has.This implies that Kolkata Riders has lost to the remaining four teams and won
none. Their ‘Loss’ is 40.
This implies that Chandigarh Kings has won against the remaining four teams and
lost to none. Their ‘Profit’ is 37.
Given that the number of matches won by Hyderabad Volcanoes is equal to the
number of matches lost by Jaipur Royals. This implies 1 and 3 matches for each
of them.
This also implies Bangalore Masters has won against two teams and lost to two
teams. The team won against Kolkata Riders and Jaipur Royals.
As Jaipur Royals lost to Bangalore Masters and Chandigarh Kings, the team must
have lost three matches and won one. The values of the same are just the
opposite for Hyderabad Volcanoes.
Number of matches won by Jaipur Royals, Chandigarh Kings, Kolkata Riders,
Hyderabad Volcanoes and Bangalore Masters are 1, 4, 0, 3 and 2 respectively.
Number of matches lost by Jaipur Royals, Chandigarh Kings, Kolkata Riders,
Hyderabad Volcanoes and Bangalore Masters are 3, 0, 4, 1 and 2 respectively.

Males in Product Development department= 198 18% employees work in Sales
and Marketing department i.e. (18/100)*1650=297;
Male to female ratio is 5:4 in the Sales and Marketing department, so

number of female in this department=4*33=132.
Number of Male in Finance department=77 and female in this department is
5/7th of male. So number of female in this department= (5/7)*77=55. Number of
males in Sales and Marketing department is equal to the number of females in
Product Development department. So number the number of female in Product
Development= 165.
Number of males in Finance department is half of the number of males in HR

In last quarter, respective amount is double then in 2nd quarter, so amounts –

— this is not required to solve question.
Given:
(2000 + 2x + 3y) = 1400 + (800+x+3y)
Solve, x = Rs 200 Now ratio of profit share —A : B : C is 800*3 + x*3 + 3y*3 + 2x*3
: 1600*3 + 4x*3 + 2y*3 + 8x*3 : 2000*3 + 2x*3 + 3y*3 + 4x*3
3 gets cancelled, gives (800+3x+3y) : (1600+12x+2y) : (2000+6x+3y)
Put x = 200 gives
1400+3y : 4000+2y : 3200+3y
Now given (4000+2y)/(1400+3y + 4000+2y + 3200+3y) = 66/153
(2000+y)/(4300+4y) = 22/51
Solve, y = Rs 200
So now the total investment is—(800+3x+3y) + (1600+12x+2y) + (2000+6x+3y) =
(4400 + 21x + 8y)
put x = 200, y = 200, total investment = Rs 10,200

So profit share of A = 7/43 * 19350 = Rs 3150

New investments – 3z, 2z, and 2z
Investment of A = (800+3x+2z), B = (1600+12x+4z) and C =(2000+6x+1z)
Put x = 200
A = 1400+2z, B = 4000+4z, C = 3200+1z
Now given (1400+2z + 4000+4z + 3200+1z)/3 = 3100
Solve, z = Rs 100
So total investment for quarter 3 = 2z+4z+z = 7z = Rs 700

a = 150 – 90 = 60; a = 60
To find remaining variable,

There are 6 teams: A, B, C, D, E and F.

· There are 3 matches in stage 1 and 2 matches in stage 2.
· Each team plays against other once only.
· There are no ties in the game.
One by one we will interpret all the points given in stage 1 and use x to denote
no match between two teams and won & loss for signifying winning and losing
teams. The first statement is
· One team won all 3 matches. But at this moment we have no other
information about which team has lost or won so we will get back to this point
later.
· Two teams lost all matches. Though it is a useful piece of information as out
of 6 teams 2 lost all but we have no further info about which team hence we will
move on.
· Next is D lost to A. Thus, we will write lost in row 5 and column 1. Also, we
will rule out D as the team who won all matches. Also, it won against C and F.
Since no team can play against each other. Therefore, we have put x there. Also
as all teams play only 3 matches. There will be no match between D & B and D &
E.
· Again, as given E lost to B but won against C & F. Therefore, E is also ruled
out of the one who won all matches or lost all matches. Thus, there would be no
match of E & A and E & D.
Given B has lost at least one match. Therefore, B is not all winning team. And B
will not be the losing team too. Since, all B, C, D, E, and F has lost one match at
least thus, A is the only team left and hence became the all winning team.
· F doesn’t play against the winning team i.e. A.
· Thus, C and F becomes all losing team. And this will be the table formed.
A B C D E F
A x Won Won Won x X
B Lost x x X Won Won
C Lost x x Lost Lost X
D Lost x Won X x Won
E X Lost Won X x Won
F X Lost x Lost Lost X
Now we will move on to stage 2 and move on to form a table.

 Given leader in stage 1 lost 2 matches. Since A is the leader. A will be the one
who will have lost all matches in next stage. Also, each team has a just single
match against the other, therefore, A will lose against E and F.
 Now out of the two, losing team one won next two matches and one lost all.
Since F won against A. Therefore, F will be the winning team and C, the losing
team.
 Also given another team lost both matches and it can’t be E, again as it won
against A and it can neither be B as C to lose both matches require B to win
against him. Therefore, D lost both too.
A B C D E F

In this case, there are two people Michael and Chetan.
The price at the beginning of the first day is ₹100 and end of the fifth day is ₹110.
Prices fluctuate every day either they went up by ₹10 or get down by ₹10. And the
ending price of that day becomes the beginning price of next day.
Using the above points there could be drawn 10 different cases and a table can be
constructed like this:
At the end of Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5
Case 1 110 100 90 100 110
Case 2 110 120 110 100 110

It is being told that Chetan sold 10 shares on 3 consecutive days and Chetan only
sells shares if prices went up. Thus, coinciding cases in relevance to Chetan is Case
3, Case 8, Case 10. Also, Michael sold 10 shares only once during all 5 days where
Chetan sold thrice. And Michael sells only if the closing price is above 110. Now by
comparing all the 3 cases and adding the Michael factor to it, we can easily conclude
to solitary case 10. Thus, our solution Case is Case 10. Therefore, the answer to the
question is 110.
144. B
If Chetan has 1300 more cash than Michael at the end of the fifth day. The possibility
of this happening could be
Case 1
110*10-100*10-90*10+100*10+110*10 = 1300
Chetan
Michael No share was bought or sold by him.
Case4
110*10-100*10+110*10-100*10+110*10 = 1300
Chetan
Case 7
-90*10+100*10-90*10+100*10+110*10 = 1300
Chetan
Case 9
-90*10+100*10+110*10-100*10+110*10 = 1300
Chetan
Now in all these cases price of the shares at the end of the 4th day is ₹100.
145. A
Let us assume both Chetan and Michael started with x no. of shares. Now at the end
of the 5th day, Michael had 20 more shares than Chetan. We will do similar
reasoning as in previous questions but now instead of the amount earned, we will
calculate no. of shares.
No. of shares at the end of

Case 8
5th day
x + 10+10-10-10-10 = x-10
Chetan
Michael x +10 = x+10
There’s an only single possibility of Michael having 20 more shares that Chetan.
Thus, the price at the end of day 3 is₹ 90.
146. D
We need to find out the cases where Michael has ₹100 less than Chetan. We will
proceed as above.
Case 2 Amount earned No. of shares

110*10+120*10-110*10-
Chetan 100*10+110*10 = 1300 x – 10-10+10+10-10 = x-10
Michael 120*10 = 1200 x – 10
Case 10 Amount earned No. of shares

-
90*10+100*10+110*10+120*10-
Chetan x + 10-10-10-10+10 =x-10
110*10 = 1300
Michael 120* 10 = 1200 x – 10

Now as we can see in both case, Michael and Chetan ended up with equal no. of
shares.

n (TR) = 10 + a + c
n (FR) = 9 + 5 + c = 14 + c
n (ER) = 8 + 5 + a + 2 = 15 + a
Further, a + c = 6 for which either c = 5 & a = 1 or c = 4 & a = 2
Thus, FR has maximum volunteers for any values of c & a.

n (TR) = 8 + 4 + 5 = 17

If Bikram and Chetan buy the shares at prices less than bought by Abdul, their profits
will be more than Abdul. If not, profit of Abdul will be more than that of the other

day is not known, therefore answer cannot be determined.
189. A
Since, the share price of XYZ Ltd. keeps rising throughout the day and peaks at the
close of the day. Therefore, Abdul bought all his shares at the minimum share price.
Bikram bought equal number of shares each time at 10 am, 11 am, 12 am, 1 am and
2 pm. But Chetan spent the same amount to buy the shares at each time 10 am, 11
am, 12 am, 1 am and 2 pm. Therefore, Chetan bought less number of shares when
prices are high and more shares when price are less as compared to Bikram. Hence,
Abdul’s return is more than Chetan and Chetan’s return is more than Bikram.
