Information
Considering the alarming importance of CSAT in UPSC CSE Prelims exam and with enormous requests we received recently, InsightsIAS has started Daily CSAT Test to ensure students practice CSAT Questions on a daily basis. Regular Practice would help one overcome the fear of CSAT too.
We are naming this initiative as Insta– DART – Daily Aptitude and Reasoning Test. We hope you will be able to use DART to hit bull’s eye in CSAT paper and comfortably score 100+ even in the most difficult question paper that UPSC can give you in CSP-2021. Your peace of mind after every step of this exam is very important for us.
Looking forward to your enthusiastic participation (both in sending us questions and solving them on daily basis on this portal).
Wish you all the best ! 🙂

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
If a:b = 3:5 and b:c = 7:8, then 2a:3b:7c is equal to
Correct
Ans: c
We have, a/b = 3/5
Because b=5a/3 and b/c = 7/8
C=(8/7)a = (8/7)´(5a/3) = 40a/21
Because a:b:c = a:5a/3 :40a/21
Now, 2a:3b:7c=2a:5a:( 40a/3) = 2:5( 40a)/3 = 6:15:40
Incorrect
Ans: c
We have, a/b = 3/5
Because b=5a/3 and b/c = 7/8
C=(8/7)a = (8/7)´(5a/3) = 40a/21
Because a:b:c = a:5a/3 :40a/21
Now, 2a:3b:7c=2a:5a:( 40a/3) = 2:5( 40a)/3 = 6:15:40

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
The speeds of three buses are in the ratio 2:3:4. The time taken by these buses to travel the same distance will be in ratio.
Correct
Ans: d
Let the distance be x.
Now, ratio of time taken the distance by each bus
= x/2:x/3:x/4=12/2:12/3:12/4 = 6:4:3
Incorrect
Ans: d
Let the distance be x.
Now, ratio of time taken the distance by each bus
= x/2:x/3:x/4=12/2:12/3:12/4 = 6:4:3

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
In a mixture of milk and water of volume 30 L, the ratio of milk and water is 7:3. The quantity of water to be added to the mixture to make the ratio of milk and water 1:2 is
Correct
Ans: c
Since, milk = 7x and water = 3x
Then, 7x + 3x = 30
10x = 30
\x = 3
So, milk= 21L and water = 9L
Let y L of water to be added.
Then, 21/(9+y) =1/2
9+y = 42
Y=33L
Incorrect
Ans: c
Since, milk = 7x and water = 3x
Then, 7x + 3x = 30
10x = 30
\x = 3
So, milk= 21L and water = 9L
Let y L of water to be added.
Then, 21/(9+y) =1/2
9+y = 42
Y=33L

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
The ratio of ages of A and B is 2:5 and the ratio of ages of B and C is 3:4. What is the ratio of ages of A, B and C?
Correct
Ans: a
Given, ratio of ages of A and B i.e A:B = 2:5
Ratio of ages of B and C = 3:4
\Ratio of ages of A,B and C =
= 2 x 3:3x 5:5 x 4 = 6:15:20
Incorrect
Ans: a
Given, ratio of ages of A and B i.e A:B = 2:5
Ratio of ages of B and C = 3:4
\Ratio of ages of A,B and C =
= 2 x 3:3x 5:5 x 4 = 6:15:20

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
(X+y) :(x-y)=3:5 and any xy = positive imply that
Correct
Solution: B
Ans:d
Given that, (x+y):/9x-y)=3:5
\(x+y)/(x-y)=3/5
Applying componendo and dividend rule, we get
[(x+y)+(x-y)]/[(x+y)-(x-y)] = (3+5)/(3-5)
2x/2y = 8/-2
x/y = -4
∴x=-4y
But it is given, xy = positive
∴-4yx y = Positive
-4y2 = Positive, which is not possible
Hence, no real solution for x and y exist.
