Practice Notes
Algebra
In recent years, CAT examinations have consistently included approximately 10-12 questions on Algebra, with a focus on various fundamental areas such as equations, progressions, functions, maxima, minima, and logarithms.
Practice Notes
Arithmetic
Arithmetic questions in the CAT exam are formulated to evaluate your quantitative aptitude and problem-solving abilities. These questions usually require you to apply mathematical principles to practical situations, which makes them a vital component of the test.
Practice Notes
Averages
Averages is one of the most important topics in the Quantitative Ability section of CAT. Practice a good number of questions on CAT Averages questions. These are a good source for practice average questions.
Practice Notes
Coordinate Geometry
CAT questions on coordinate geometry assess your ability to work with points, lines, and shapes on the Cartesian plane. These questions often involve finding distances between points, determining equations of lines, and solving geometric problems using coordinate methods.
Practice Notes
Data Sufficiency
Data sufficiency questions help to develop the ability to think critically. Go through these data sufficiency questions to cement your concepts in place.
Practice Notes
Functions, Graphs, and Statistics
Solve these functions, graphs,and statistics to learn about odd and even functions, cauchy's functions, and shifting of graphs.
Practice Notes
Geometry
Geometry is one of the most important topics for CAT. Solve these geometry questions to strengthen your understanding of triangles, circles, and polygons.
Practice Notes
Inequalities
Inequalities is a key topic in the Quant section of the CAT exam. It involves solving mathematical expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, or ≥ to understand relationships between quantities.
Practice Notes
Linear Equations
Learn how to solve questions on linear equations using various concepts such as introducing dummy variables.
Practice Notes
Logarithms
CAT questions involving logarithms test your understanding of exponential relationships and properties like product, quotient, and power rules. These questions often require solving equations and simplifying expressions using logarithmic concepts.
Practice Notes
Logarithms, Surds, and Indices
Though this topic might seem irrational at first, you'll fall in love with these logarithms, surds, and indices questions once your base is strong.
Practice Notes
Mensuration
Mensuration involve calculating areas, volumes, and surface areas of various geometric shapes and solids. These questions will understanding of formulas and spatial reasoning.
Practice Notes
Mixtures and Alligations
Mixtures and Alligations questions test your ability to find average values, mix components in given ratios, and determine the resulting concentration or cost.
Practice Notes
Number Series
Number series questions for CAT exam are mathematical puzzles that involve finding the missing number in a sequence. These sequences follow specific patterns or rules, requiring candidates to identify and apply the underlying logic to arrive at the correct answer.
Practice Notes
Number Systems
Solve this incredible collection of number system questions to know how to understand the roots and address the factors of a problem.
Practice Notes
Percentages
Percentages question your ability to calculate and compare ratios expressed as parts per hundred. These questions often involve finding percentage increases or decreases, conversions between fractions and percentages. Mastery of percentage calculations with these questions.
Practice Notes
Probability & Combinatrics
Solving these questions on permutations and combinations, and probability will significantly improve your chances of cracking CAT.
Practice Notes
Profit and Loss
Profit and loss questions to calculate gains or losses from transactions based on cost price and selling price. These questions often involve determining profit percentages, loss percentages, and understanding markups and discounts.
Practice Notes
Progressions and Series
Want to check how much you have progressed in your preparation? Going through this series of questions on progressions and series will help you do just that.
Practice Notes
Quadratic Equations
Solving these quadratic equations questions without debating whether it is rational or irrational to do so will help you solve some complex, real-life issues.
Practice Notes
Ratio and Proportion
Practising these questions on ratios, proportions, and averages will help you to be a part of the aspirants who are not average.
Practice Notes
Remainders
Remainders questions focuses on finding the remainder when one number is divided by another. Proficiency in remainder concepts is crucial for solving quantitative aptitude questions efficiently.
Practice Notes
Simple Interest and Compound Interest
Simple interest is calculated only on the initial principal amount, resulting in linear growth. Compound interest is calculated on the principal and accumulated interest, leading to exponential growth. Over time, compound interest yields greater returns or costs due to "interest on interest."
Practice Notes
Time and Work
These topic questions test your ability to solve problems related to the efficiency and productivity of individuals or groups. Determining work rates, and understanding the relationship between time, work, and the number of workers.
Practice Notes
Time, Distance and Work
Ever wondered how long it would take to master the concepts tested in CAT? Solve these time, speed, distance and time, and work questions to know the answer.
Practice Notes
Time, Speed, Distance
This topic questions your ability to solve problems involving the relationships between time, speed and distance. These questions often include scenarios with different speeds, travel times, and distances, requiring an understanding of concepts like relative speed and average speed.
Practice Notes
Venn Diagrams
Go through this excellent collection of questions to know how to approach questions based on Venn diagrams.
