CMAT question paper
Verbal Section
Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions given below it.
Can one person’s religious freedom interfere with another’s food preferences? And what if the
freedom of one religious group is in conflict with that of another? The ban imposed in some States
on the sale of meat during the Jain community’s annual fasting period of Paryushan is problematic
for more than one reason, and militates against the food preferences of a majority of the people in
the States concerned. Not surprisingly, the order of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation requiring
slaughter houses and meat shops to remain closed for four days during the fasting period led to
public outrage, and the Bharatiya Janata Party came under attack from the Shiv Sena, its own ally in
Maharashtra, over the decision. When more States began announcing similar bans, the issue
became contentious and took on a communal colour. Indeed, the Shiv Sena warned the Jain
community that it risked being alienated from mainstream Indian society if it continued to insist on a
ban on meat.
In Jammu and Kashmir, meanwhile, the High Court called for the strict implementation of a long-
forgotten law that prohibits the slaughter of cows, oxen and buffaloes. This fed into the political
unrest in the Muslim-majority State, with separatist leaders calling for a shutdown in protest. That
the States ruled by the BJP are the ones seeking to impose the ban on meat is not lost on anyone.
After Maharashtra, the States of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Haryana followed suit, raising
the suspicion that the idea of a ban was meant to further the BJP’s political agenda. In Maharashtra,
the government had already introduced a ban on beef; the bar on all meat varieties was therefore
seen as an extension of the same Hindutva agenda.
Although such a move is nothing new, the publicity given to the ban this time, and it being extended
from two days to four and eight days, resulted in much disquiet. Many sellers and consumers of
meat are not opposed to a ban on the sale for a day or two; usually the days preceding and following
those days would see an increase in sales and compensate for the day of the ban. But a bar for four
consecutive days, and the wide publicity given to it, raised fears that the implementation would be
strict and that those who did not conform might face prosecution. The stated rationale for the
prohibition — which does not cover fish and eggs — is to prevent ‘slaughter’ during the period of
fasting. But that did not convince the Bombay High Court, which termed the move “regressive” and
“absurd” in a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai. By ordering a ban on meat for an extended period, the
BJP governments have revealed a fundamentalist streak, and thus risked a backlash from some of
their own core supporters.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below.
The countries of South-East Asia have rarely controlled their own destinies. Asia’s three giants —
China, Japan and India — loom over the region. Colonial armies have fought there. Even peace and

CMAT question paper
unprecedented prosperity have not shaken the assumption that South-East Asia’s fate will be
decided by outsiders. Westerners still often refer to the area as “Japan’s backyard” or part of the
“yen block”. They speak about Asian capitalism and, love it or loathe it, they assume there is only
one sort: that pioneered by Japan. Yet, to regard the booming economies of South-East Asia simply
as pupils in a Japanese master class is to miss the point. The economic stars of the region —
Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia — have followed a distinctive path to development. As
a result, they are now exporting not just goods, but ideas. The economic strategies of China and
India look much more like those followed in South-East Asia, rather than the North-East Asian model
of Japan or South Korea.
There are three broad ways in which South-East Asian capitalism has differed from the Japanese and
Korean varieties. It is much more open to foreign direct investment. It is much less prone to try to
second-guess the market through a government directed industrial policy. And it has been much
quicker to allow financial markets to develop. The distinction is clearest over attitudes to foreign
direct investment. The Japanese and the South Koreans have been determined to build up national
champions and have made it difficult for foreign-owned companies to set up shop. By contrast, the
tigers of South-East Asia have built their booms by welcoming foreigners. Singapore, which
practically invented this strategy, now has an economy dominated by multinational companies. The
export industries of Thailand and Malaysia are also heavily reliant on foreign firms.
9. Which of the following has not been referred to as a star of South-East Asia?
(a) Malaysia
(b) Singapore
(c) South Korea
(d) Indonesia

(a) South-East Asian capitalism are more open to foreign direct investment.
(b) Thailand followed a distinctive path to development.
(c) China, Japan and India are gaints.
(d) All of the above
(e) None of these

We today revel in the idea that we are living in a world of science and science can work wonders for
us. It is evident that science has revolutionised modern life. What our forefathers, half a century ago,
could not even dream of, we have that on our beck and call. Electricity is a wonder and what it is
doing would have appeared to be a fairy tale for our forefathers. A button is pressed, the room gets
flooded with light; the fan moves, the A.C. Cools or warms the room, water is boiled or cooled even
is frozen, eatables can be preserved for days. Human suffering has greatly been alleviated. Science
has investigated into disease and found startling cures for them. Artificial limbs can be fitted into the
disabled bodies, even kidneys, and hearts are being performed.
Machinery has eliminated human labour and made life more mechanical and less arduous. Means of
communication- The fax, The E-mail, The mobile smart phones are really wonderful means given to
us by science. The atomic energy it put to use for peaceful purpose can work wonders. We have
begun to feel that life wirthout the modern scientific gadgets is impossible. Let science remain our
'slave' and not allow it to become our master. Let it like alladin's 'genie' remain in Alladin's
controlling power not to overpower and be a menace to mankind........

Almost everything has implications for the poor, whether it is education, health, family planning,
employment, or the environment, or the environment: they are all fields where current performance
hurts the poor in particular. Policies that enhance economic growth, and agriculture growth, will
favour reduction of poverty. The lives of poor people are most threatened by potential shortages of
water and low water quality, and by air pollution; pressures on common pool resources also bear
most heavily on the poor, and on women in particular.

CMAT question paper
Since half of India’s poor are in the persistent category, the country’s anti-povery programmes can at
best, have only a limited impact. They are excessively scattered and unrelated to basic processes in
the economy. They focus on regions with particular problems, such as drought prone areas; subsidy
programmes such as the Targeted Public Distribution System for food; a number of employment-
related schemes, and social security measures for the very poor. Most of them have been shown to
be inefficient in terms of the proportion of expenditure actually reaching the poor, and in terms of
their lasting effects. But greater impacts on poverty could be made by improved performance in the
social sectors and the environment generally, concentrating on the states with the greatest backlogs.
Better health and nutrition and better education for all, and clean air and water are the best anti-
poverty programmes. To these must be added reproductive health services and family planning,
again most needed in the poorest states : they too are pro poor measures in themselves for high
fertility households.
22. Which of the following impact the poor the most?

(a) Education
(b) Health
(c) Family planning
(d) Employment

Book keepers: A, B and C

Secretaries: D, E, F, G and H
Team: 2 Book-keeper + 3 secretaries.

Conditions: Either of following will go:
1. A or C
2. E or C
3. D or G
4. D or F
12. If D goes ⇒ G and F don’t go but there have to be 3 secretaries. Hence, E and H will have to go if
G goes. Since E is going ⇒C cannot go. ⇒ If D goes then H has to go and C can’t go.
13. If C is sent to the new office⇒ A and E cannot be there.

⇒ 2 book-keepers = B, C
3 secretaries = 3 out of D,F, G and H.
CMAT question paper
Since F and G cannot go with D, D can’t go.
⇒ 3 secretaries = F, G and H.
Hence, if C goes then D can’t go.
14. If C and F are to move. C is there ⇒ A and E can’t be there. F is there ⇒ D can’t be there.
There have to be 2 book-keepers which would be B and C. There have to be 3 secretaries which
would be F, G and H. ⇒ Combination(s) possible = BCFGH ⇒ Only 1 combination is possible.
15. B is correct
Paintings: T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z. To be chosen: 5

Condition:
* If T is chosen, X cannot be chosen ⇒ T – X not together
* If U is chosen, Y must also be chosen ⇒ U – Y together
* If V is chosen, X must also be chosen ⇒ V – X together
16. Let’s explore all individual options:

A) T, U, V, X, Y ⇒ This is not valid as it violates 1st condition.
B) T, U, V, Y, Z ⇒ This is not valid as V requires X, which can’t be together with T.
C) T, W, X, Y, Z ⇒ This is not valid as it violates 1st condition.
D) U, V, X, Z, Y ⇒ This is valid as it doesn’t violates any condition.
Hence answer is U, V, X, Z, Y.
17. If V is chosen: Then X has to be there but if X has to be there then T cannot be there. ⇒ T is not
chosen

CMAT question paper
Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2. Area of the lawn = 2109 m2. Area of the crossroads =
(2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2. Let the width of the road be x metres. Then, 60x + 40x - x2 = 291 x2 -
100x + 291 = 0
(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0 x = 3.
2. 72% of x = 45000 + 99000. => 72% of x = 144000 => Therefore x = 144000/0.72 = 2,00,000/-
Discount of 20%, 30% and 40% means left is 0.8 x 0.7 x 0.6 = 0.336 ie Discount of 100 – 33.6% =
66.4%
2(l + b)/b = 5/1 => 2l + 2b = 5b => 3b = 2l => b = 2/3l;
Then, Area = 216 cm2. l x b = 216 => l x 2/3 l = 216 => l2 = 324 => l = 18 cm.

Required number = (23 - 21)

= 2.
4. Let breadth = x metres. Then, length = (x + 20) metres. Perimeter = 5300m/26.50 = 200m.
2[(x + 20) + x] = 200 => 2x + 20 = 100 => 2x = 80 => x = 40. Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m.
5. Clearly, we have r = 3 cm and h = 4 cm. Volume = 1/3πr2h = 1/3 x π x 32 x 4 = 12 cm3.

6. 20 (w + 2) + 2 x w/3 = 22 x w => 20w + 40 + 2w/3 = 22w => 2w – 2/3w = 40 => 4/3w = 40 => w =
30.
7. Sum of all 5 even numbers = 450 let 5 even numbers be m – 4, m – 2, m, m + 2, M + 4. Sum of all
of them 5m = 450 therefore m = 90. Hence the numbers are 86, 88, 90, 92 and 94. Now 2c = 94
therefore c = 47. New values of abcde will be 43 45 47 49 51. Hence a will be 43.
8. Gains are 10%, 30% and 50% therefore Price P x 1.1 x 1.3 x 1.5 = 2.145 P. 2.145 P = 8580 hence P
= 4000
9. 15% died so left is 85% or 0.85, 20% left hence remaining is 0.8. Total population P x 0.85 x 0.8 =
8840 hence P = 13000
10. A = 8 and together 1/A - 1/B = 1/10. => 1/8 - 1/B = 1/10 => 1/B = 1/8 – 1/10 = 2/80 = 1/40. So B
can empty the wall bricks in 40 days. Half the wall can be done in 20 days
11. Unit digit in (6374)1793 = Unit digit in (4)1793 = Unit digit in [(42)896 x 4] = Unit digit in (6 x 4) = 4
Unit digit in (625)317 = Unit digit in (5)317 = 5. Unit digit in (341)491 = Unit digit in (1)491 = 1
Required digit = Unit digit in (4 x 5 x 1) = 0.

options only 207 is valid answer.
14. Production / Population = per capita => 1.4 / population = 1.3 => population growth = 1.4/1.3 =
1.077 ie 7.7% increase
15. Ratio of distance travelled by A:B = 1000:100 less = 1000:900 = 10:9. Ratio of distance travelled
by B : C = 20: 2 miles less = 20 : 18 = 10:9. Now Ratio of A:B:C = 100: 90:81. In 10km distance by A, C
will travel 8.1km ie beaten by 1.9 km
16. Exterior angle =360 / number of sides => Ext angle = 360/9 = 40 degrees. Interior angle = 180 –
ext angle => 180 – 40 = 140 deg
17. Number = (12 x 35). Correct Quotient = 420 ÷ 21 = 20
18. By hit and trial, we put x = 5 and y = 1 so that (3x + 7y) = (3 x 5 + 7 x 1) = 22, which is divisible by
11.
19. (4x + 6y) = ( 4 x 5 + 6 x 1) = 26, which is not divisible by 11; (x + y + 4 ) = (5 + 1 + 4) = 10, which is
not divisible by 11; (9x + 4y) = (9 x 5 + 4 x 1) = 49, which is not divisible by 11; (4x - 9y) = (4 x 5 - 9 x 1)
= 11, which is divisible by 11.
20. Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years. => (2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27=>
5x = 25 => x = 5. Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
21. Let p be price and n be number of balls. p x n = 450 and (p-15)(n+15)=450 putting value of n
from equation 1 in 2 we form quadratic equations. (p-15)(450/p+15)=450 => (p-15)(450 +15p)=450p
=> 15p2+450p – 225p – 6750 = 450p. Solving p = 30.
22. (x - 1) (x - 2) (x - 2) > 0. Let us call the product (x - 1) (x - 2) (x - 2) = y and should be > 0
23. If x is less than 1, y is a –ve number. If x is between 1 and 2, y is a +ve number. If x is greater than
2, y is a +ve number
24. Since we are searching for the regions where the y is a +ve number, the solution is as follows: 1 <
x < 2 OR x > 2
25. 20% of the total funds to be arranged = Rs. (20% of 57600) crores = Rs. 11520 crores ~= Rs.
11486 crores. Rs. 11486 crores is the amount of funds to be arranged through External Assistance.
