CAT (QA) PYQs

In a right-angled triangle $\triangle A B C$, the altitude $A B$ is $5 \mathrm{~cm}$, and the base $B C$ is $12 \mathrm{~cm}$. $P$ and $Q$ are two points on $B C$ such that the areas of $\triangle \mathrm{ABP}, \triangle \mathrm{ABQ}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ are in arithmetic progression. If the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is $1.5$ times the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABP}$, the length of PQ in cm , is

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an isosceles triangle such that $AB$ and $AC$ are of equal length. $AD$ is the altitude from $A$ on $BC$ and $BE$ is the altitude from $B$ on $AC$. If $AD$ and $BE$ intersect at $O$ such that $\angle AOB = 105^\circ$, then $AD/BE$ equals

Given an equilateral triangle $\mathrm{T} 1$ with side $24 \mathrm{~cm}$, a second triangle $\mathrm{T} 2$ is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of $\mathrm{T} 1$. Then a third triangle $\mathrm{T} 3$ is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of $\mathrm{T} 2$. If this process of forming triangles is continued, the sum of the areas, in sq cm , of infinitely many such triangles $\mathrm{T} 1, \mathrm{~T} 2, \mathrm{~T} 3, \ldots$ will be
