"Mirtunjay is planning to buy a test series for the CAT exam. Following are the criteria of selection for any online portal fixed by him:
1. Must contain 25 Full-length mock tests.
2. Must contain last 8 years previous year papers.
3. Must have more than 10,000 practice questions on the portal,
4. If any portal satisfies all the above criteria except (1) but has more than 20 mock tests and more than 5 previous year papers then he will keep that shortlisted.
5. If any portal satisfies all the above criteria except (3) but has more than 8000 practice questions and recorded class videos then he will ask his mentor. "Let's crack CAT" is providing online test series for CAT. It is providing 18 mock tests and 5 previous years' Paper. It is also providing 12000 practice questions.
Which of the following is correct for the selection of the online portal given above?"
Analyzing CAT Test Series Selection Criteria
Mirtunjay has set specific criteria for selecting an online test series portal for the CAT exam. We need to evaluate if the "Let's crack CAT" portal meets these requirements.
Portal Evaluation Against Criteria
The portal "Let's crack CAT" provides:
- Mock Tests: 18
- Previous Year Papers: 5
- Practice Questions: 12000
Let's check the primary criteria:
- Criterion 1: Requires 25 Full-length mock tests. (Portal has 18) - Not Met
- Criterion 2: Requires 8 years' previous year papers. (Portal has 5) - Not Met
- Criterion 3: Requires > 10,000 practice questions. (Portal has 12000) - Met
Since the portal fails criteria 1 and 2, it does not meet the basic selection requirements.
Checking Special Conditions
Let's examine the exceptions:
- Exception 4 (Shortlisting): Applies if criteria (2) and (3) are met, but (1) is not, AND portal has > 20 mock tests and > 5 previous papers.
- The portal fails Criterion 2 (only 5 papers < 8 required).
- Therefore, this exception does not apply.
- Exception 5 (Ask Mentor): Applies if criteria (1) and (2) are met, but (3) is not, AND portal has > 8000 practice questions.
- The portal fails Criterion 1 (only 18 tests < 25 required).
- The portal fails Criterion 2 (only 5 papers < 8 required).
- Therefore, this exception does not apply.
Final Decision
The portal "Let's crack CAT" does not satisfy the primary criteria (1 and 2) and does not qualify for any of the special conditions (shortlisting or asking the mentor). Consequently, the portal will not be selected.
