  1. How to prepare QA for CAT 2022?

  2. Agenda • What is Quantitative Aptitude • Relevance of Quant in MBA/CAT –Overview of the Test Patterns • Approx number of Quant Qs (Topic wise) in MBA entrance exams • Class Structure (Quant) • Relevance of Speed Maths – Quantitative Aptitude • Sample Questions from Past Years • Practice Questions

  3. CAT-2020 Pattern • Three sections with sectional time limits (in the following order) • Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension: 26 Qs (40 mins) • Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning: 24 Qs (40 mins) • Quantitative Ability: 26 Qs (40 mins) • Total duration of whole test -Two hours • Total duration of QA section - 40 minutes • Marking Scheme:MCQs - ( +3, -1 ) and Non-MCQs or TITA - (+ 3, 0 )

  4. Test Pattern: CAT and other MBA entrance exams (Relevance of Quantitative Ability in entrance exams) Note: Test Pattern may change but the fundamentals remain intact

  5. SYLLABUS: QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE ARITHMETIC ALGEBRA GEOMETRY & MENSURATION NUMBER SYSTEM, INDICES & SURDS HIGHER MATHS (P&C, Probability, Set Theory, Statistics) FUNCTIONS & GRAPHS, COORDINATE GEOMETRY, TRIGONOMETRY, PROGRESSIONS

  6. Approx number of Quant questions (Area-wise) asked in CAT and other MBA entrance exams *A few qs in DI/DS in the section was also there

  7. Key pointers to crack Quantitative Aptitude section Quantitative Aptitude basics: • Numbers: All that we have covered till 8th standard. • Arithmetic: All that we have learnt till 8th standard. • Geometry: All that we have learnt till 10th standard. • Algebra: All that we have learnt till 10th standard. • Modern Math (Permutation & combination, Probability, Set theory and Trigonometry etc.): All that we have learnt till class 10th standard. Note: Derivation and proofs of formulae are not of much use in solving the questions but these help in building the concepts.

  8. Key pointers to crack Quantitative Aptitude section • Speed Matters - Practice speed maths • Regular practice, hard work and consistency will pay off. • Quant section is not a test of one’s intelligence. • Understanding the statement and interpretation correctly is the most critical part. • Visualization of a question can help a lot in solving the question. • No prior knowledge is required to crack many of the questions. • With a net score of 50% marks, you can be in the top 1% of CAT population !!

  9. Key pointers to crack Quantitative Aptitude section Alternative Methods: • Some of the questions can be cracked • Logically • By simply eliminating the other options • By plugging the specific value

  10. SPEED MATHS - PREREQUISITES Tables – upto 20 Squares – numbers upto 25 Cubes –till 12 Fractions to percentage – ½ to 1/12 5) Fractions to percentage – Multiples of ½ to 1/12 100s complement of numbers upto 100 Powers of 2, 3, 4, 5….

  11. SAMPLE CONCEPTS – SPEED MATHS

  12. IS QUANT EASY OR DIFFICULT ?! CAN THE QUESTIONS BE TACKLED LOGICALLY ? LET’S EXPLORE !!!

  13. 1. Karan and Arjun run a 100-meter race, where Karan beats Arjun 10 metres. To do a favour to Arjun, Karan starts 10 metres behind the starting line in a second 100 metre race. They both run at their earlier speeds. Which of the following is true in connection with the second race? • [CAT 2004] • A. Karan and Arjun reach the finishing line simultaneously. • B. Arjun beats Karan by 1 metre • C. Arjun beats Karan by 11 metres • D. Karan beats Arjun by 1 metre

  14. 2. Each of Saral, Pranav and Jatin has a certain number of marbles in the beginning. They play a game in which every person has to double the number of marbles with every other person. In the first round, Saral doubles the number of marbles with each of Pranav and Jatin. In the second round, Pranav doubles the number of marbles with each of Saral and Jatin. Finally, in the third round, Jatin doubles the number of marbles with each of Saral and Pranav. At the end of the third round, each has 1200 marbles. Find the number of marbles with each of them in the beginning.

  15. Approach: Start with the end Solution 2: Each of Saral, Pranav and Jatin has a certain number of marbles in the beginning. They play a game in which every person has to double the number of marbles with every other person. In the first round, Saral doubles the number of marbles with each of Pranav and Jatin. In the second round, Pranav doubles the number of marbles with each of Saral and Jatin. Finally, in the third round, Jatin doubles the number of marbles with each of Saral and Pranav. At the end of the third round, each has 1200 marbles. Find the number of marbles with each of them in the beginning.

  16. 3. Find the value of . • [CAT 2005] • A. 3 • B. (√13 – 1)/2 • C. (√13 + 1)/2 • D. √13
