Real test conditions

Before you launch the test

This is the computer-based test format, not a quiz page: one clock, a question palette, and no way back once a section closes. Read these first.

  • It runs in full screen. The test takes over the screen when it starts, the way the real computer-based test does.
  • Leaving it is counted. Switching away is recorded and warned about; the third time, the paper is submitted for you.
  • The clock runs for 120 minutes. Set aside that long, uninterrupted. It starts when you begin, keeps running if you close the tab, and submits the paper at zero.
  • 3 timed sections. Each section has its own limit, and a section you have finished cannot be returned to.
  • On-screen calculator. The test provides one. Nothing else is needed, and nothing else is allowed.

About this test

CAT Mock Test 16 Question Paper: Reading, Logic Sets and Quant with Solutions

CAT Mock Test 16 is a full-length CAT mock that mixes Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude. Its sets range from a volleyball league table to mutual fund returns, and its Quant section leans on mixtures, rates and counting. Aptitude360 includes a full written solution for every problem.

  • DILR: a round-robin volleyball league, visitor parking slots, partition of farm plots and mutual fund returns
  • QA: alligation by cost and caffeine content, average-speed cameras, successive profit, real returns after inflation, tunnelling rates and boats upstream
  • QA (counting): divisibility of cubes, divisors with a set number of digits, ballot-counting probability and quadratics with real roots

Concepts worth revising before this CAT mock

  • Inferring the author's stance from tone and qualifiers
  • Win, loss and points logic in round-robin tables
  • Alligation when a blend must meet two conditions at once

FAQs about CAT Mock Test 16 – Full-Length CAT Mock Test with Solutions

How to solve round robin tournament sets in CAT?
In a single round robin every team plays every other team once, so each team plays one fewer match than the number of teams. Use the total number of matches and the points rule to check every row of the table.
How to calculate average speed?
Average speed is total distance travelled divided by total time taken. It is not the simple average of the speeds unless equal times are spent at each speed.
What is the real rate of return?
The real rate of return measures growth in purchasing power after adjusting for inflation. One plus the real rate equals one plus the nominal rate divided by one plus the inflation rate.
What is the ballot problem in probability?
If candidate A gets more votes than candidate B and ballots are counted in random order, the probability that A stays strictly ahead throughout the count is A's votes minus B's votes, divided by the total votes.
