- Given: A right-angled triangle has sides of lengths 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm. Quantity A: Volume of the cone formed by rotating the triangle about the side of length 6 cm. Quantity B: Volume of the cone formed by rotating the triangle about the side of length 8 cm.
- A cone fits perfectly (height-wise) inside a 6 cm × 8 cm × 10 cm cuboid such that the entire base of the cone rests on one of the faces of the cuboid. Also, the circumference of the base of the cone just touches one of the pairs of the opposite sides of the face of the cuboid which is beneath it. The volume of the cone is \( 32 \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \).
- A solid metallic cube having surface area 864 cm\(^2\) is melted to form 64 small solid cubes of the same size. The sum of the surface areas of all the small cubes so formed (in cm\(^2\)) is:

Questions Asked in XAT exam
- In an 8-week course, the teacher conducts a test every week, and the scores are in the range of 1–4. There are only two students enrolled in the course, \(R\) and \(S\). The following conditions are given:
- \(R\) and \(S\) scored the same on the first test.
- From the second test onwards, \(R\) consistently scored the same (a non-zero score).
- The total of the first three test scores of \(R\) equals the total of the first two test scores of \(S\).
- From the fifth test onwards, \(S\) scored the same as \(R\).
- The scores of \(S\) from the first two tests and all the remaining tests follow a geometric progression.

- There’s a community 30 km outside of the main city. Mr. S started a grocery business in the community after winning the bid by offering way above the rent initially drafted by the community council. The community council, led by Mr. D, agreed to the offer with a performance review every three years. Mr. S also agreed to provide an additional 15% of his grocery sales to the council, banking on the prospect of selling in higher volumes. After setting up his business, Mr. S noticed that SUV owners in the community usually bought goods in bulk from the city once a week and used his store primarily for daily necessities and occasional big purchases like mixer grinders.

- Four reviewers (R1, R2, R3, R4) are in charge of reviewing products from companies A, B, C, and D. Each reviewer provides a rating between 1 and 5 for the products. Due to a technical glitch, the original ratings were deleted, and only the averages calculated for each product (A, B, C, D) and each reviewer (R1, R2, R3, R4) were saved. The data available is as follows:Tasks:
A B C D Average 3 4 4 ? 4 3 ? 5 ? 4 ? 3 3 ? 4 ? ? ? ? 4.25 4 4 4 4.25
1. What are the missing values in the table?
2. How were the missing values calculated?
3.Verify the correctness of the given averages for both rows and columns. - A bought a phone from a store and paid \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the price using UPI, \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the price in cash, and the remaining balance a year later.
