Previous year papers help most when you treat them like the real exam. Follow these four steps:

• Solve the 2026 papers first: attempt each paper in one 3-hour sitting, without a calculator, as in the exam.
• Score yourself honestly: use +4 for a correct answer and −1 for a wrong one, and check your answers against the final answer key.
• Review every mistake: note the topic of each wrong or guessed answer; topics that repeat become your priority list.
• Move on to older papers and mocks: solve the 2025 and 2024 papers next, then take at least one full-length mock test a week in the final two months.

Follow the complete KMAT Kerala preparation 2027 plan for a month-wise schedule.

Quantitative Aptitude

Q3. The LCM of two numbers is 1360 and their HCF is 20. If one of the numbers is 80, then the other number is
(A) 380
(B) 360
(C) 320
(D) 340
Answer: (D) 340

Explanation: For two numbers, LCM × HCF = product of the numbers. So the other number is 1360 × 20 ÷ 80 = 340.

Q4. If one-fourth of a number exceeds 20% of the number by 10, then the number is
(A) 150
(B) 180
(C) 200
(D) 250
Answer: (C) 200

Explanation: One-fourth is 25%, so 25% − 20% = 5% of the number equals 10. The number is therefore 10 ÷ 0.05 = 200.

Q5. A number is increased by 25% and then decreased by 20%. The net change is
(A) No change
(B) 5% increase
(C) 5% decrease
(D) 10% increase
Answer: (A) No change

Explanation: Successive percentage changes multiply: 1.25 × 0.80 = 1.00, so the number returns to its original value.
