Go to Discussion

A train moving at 108 km/hr crosses a platform in 30 seconds. Then it crosses a man running at 12 km/hr in the same direction to train in 9 seconds. What is the length of train and platform in m?





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Speed of train $= 108 imes frac{5}{18} = 30$ m/s
Speed of man $= 12 imes frac{5}{18} = frac{10}{3}$ m/s
Relative speed $= 30 - frac{10}{3} = frac{80}{3}$ m/s
Length of train $= frac{80}{3} imes 9 = 240$ m
Train length + platform length $= 30 imes 30 = 900$ m
Platform length $= 900 - 240 = 660$ m
Hence, the answer is 240 and 660.

Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Distances are proportional to speeds.
Ratio $= 50:55 = 10:11$
Difference $= 1$ part $= 20$ km
Total distance $= 21 imes 20 = 420$ km
Hence, the distance is 420 km.

Total work $= 50 imes 15 imes 4 = 3000$ man-hours
$40 imes 5 imes x = 3000$
$200x = 3000$
$x = 15$
Hence, required time is 15 days.

Current age of Ritu and Rinki is in the ratio 3:4. 6 years back, the ratio of their ages was 2:3. What is the present age of Ritu?





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Let their present ages be 3x and 4x.

Six years ago, their ages were (3x - 6) and (4x - 6).

So, according to the question:
(3x - 6) / (4x - 6) = 2 / 3

Cross multiplying,
3(3x - 6) = 2(4x - 6)

Simplifying,
9x - 18 = 8x - 12

x = 6

Therefore, Ritu’s present age = 3x = 18 years.

Answer: 18 years

The sum of the ages of a son and father is 56 years; after four years the age of the father will be three times that of the son. What is the age of the father and the son, respectively?





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Let the present ages be s (son) and f (father).

Given: s + f = 56 … (1)
After 4 years: (f + 4) = 3(s + 4) ⇒ f = 3s + 8 … (2)

Substitute (2) in (1):
s + (3s + 8) = 56 ⇒ 4s = 48 ⇒ s = 12.
Then f = 56 − 12 = 44.

Answer (father, son): 44 years, 12 years

Rahul can row downstream at 11 km/h and upstream at 7 km/h. Find the speed of Rahul in still water and speed of current.





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Let speed of Rahul in still water = b km/h 
and 
speed of current = c km/h. 
Then, Downstream speed = b + c = 11
Upstream speed = b - c = 7 
Adding both: 2b = 18 
b = 9 
Subtracting: 2c = 4 
c = 2
✅ Rahul’s speed in still water = 9 km/h 
✅ Speed of current = 2 km/h

Cynthia has borrowed Rs. 6,000 at the rate of 7% S.I. What amount does she need to pay after 3 years to clear the debt?





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Principal (P) = 6000
Rate (R) = 7%
Time (T) = 3 years

Simple Interest (S.I.) = (P × R × T) / 100
= (6000 × 7 × 3) / 100 = 1260

Total Amount = P + S.I. = 6000 + 1260 = 7260

Answer: ₹7260

Find the minimum number of straight lines required to make the given figure. 





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Minimum number of straight lines required = 16.

Counting line-wise:
Horizontal lines = 3
Top horizontal = 1, middle horizontal = 1, bottom horizontal = 1

Vertical lines = 4
Left side = 1, right side = 1, two inner verticals = 2

Slant lines = 9
Left upper outer slant = 1
Left upper inner slant = 1
Right upper inner slant = 1
Right upper outer slant = 1
Left lower outer slant = 1
Left lower inner slant = 1
Right lower inner slant = 1
Right lower outer slant = 1
Middle top-to-bottom slant/straight connection counted = 1

Total = 3 + 4 + 9 = 16

Hence, the minimum number of straight lines is 16. Final Answer: (a) 16

Choose the correct water image of the given problem figure from the answer figures





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Concept: Water Image (Reflection in water)

In water image, top and bottom positions are interchanged while left-right positions remain the same. Shapes do not rotate, only flip vertically.

Given Figure:
Top → small circle
Bottom → diamond on left and square on right
Arrow direction → left (remains same)

After water image:
Circle shifts to bottom
Diamond remains on left
Square remains on right (same orientation)
Arrow direction remains left

Only option (B) satisfies all conditions.

Final Answer: (b) B

The square boxes in the figures given are to be painted with different colours such that no two adjacent boxes (even diagonally) have same colour. How many minimum colours do you need in each case?





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Condition: No two adjacent boxes (including diagonally) can have the same colour.

First Figure (cross shape):
Due to diagonal touching, 3 colours are not sufficient.
Minimum colours required = 4

Second Figure (3×3 grid):
Each box touches many others including diagonally, forming a highly connected pattern.
At least 4 colours are required to avoid repetition.

Final Answer: (b) (4, 4)

Find the missing numbers





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Observe column-wise pattern:

1st column: 15 + 13 = 28 and 20 + 8 = 28
2nd column: 6 + 3 = 9 and 7 + 2 = 9
So in the 3rd column, the same pattern must follow:
5 + 9 = 14
Therefore, 13 + ? = 14
? = 1

Hence, the missing number is 1.

Final Answer: (a) 1

In the give cubes, which colour is opposite to purple?





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

From the given cube positions:

1st cube: Purple is adjacent to Blue and Red.
3rd cube: Purple is adjacent to Red and Green.
4th cube: Purple is adjacent to Green and Orange.

So, the four colours adjacent to Purple are:
Blue, Red, Green, and Orange.

A cube face has exactly 4 adjacent faces and 1 opposite face.
Therefore, the only remaining colour opposite to Purple is Yellow.

Final Answer: (c) Yellow

Identify the diagram that best represents the relationship among classes given below Males, Fathers, Engineers





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Fathers are always a subset of Males, so Fathers must be completely inside Males.

Engineers can be male or female, so the Engineers circle should partly overlap with Males and may also lie partly outside Males. Also, some Fathers can be Engineers.

This relation is correctly shown in Option 3.

Final Answer: 3

If a mirror is placed on the line MN, then which is the right figure of the given image?





Go to Discussion

TANCET MCA Previous Year PYQ TANCET MCA TANCET MCA 2024 PYQ

Solution

Since the mirror is placed on line MN, the figure will be reflected vertically downward. So the top part of the figure comes to the bottom, and the bottom part comes to the top, while left and right positions remain unchanged.

After comparing all the options carefully, the correct mirror image is Option 2.

Solution

Observe the pattern in the top row:

C, G, L, R

Convert letters to positions:
C = 3, G = 7, L = 12, R = 18

Pattern:
3 + 4 = 7
7 + 5 = 12
12 + 6 = 18

X = 24, T = 20, O = 15, ?

Pattern:
24 - 4 = 20
20 - 5 = 15
15 - 6 = 9

9th letter is I.
