Percentage Change
Final Value = Initial Value × (1 + Percentage Change/100)
Useful for profit/loss, population growth, etc.
Simple Interest
SI = (P × R × T)/100
P = Principal, R = Rate, T = Time
Quadratic Equation Roots
For ax² + bx + c = 0, roots = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
Pythagoras Theorem
In right triangle: a² + b² = c²
c is hypotenuse, a & b are other sides
Combination Formula
nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!)
Number of ways to choose r items from n
Time and Work
If A can do work in x days, work/day = 1/x
Combined work = 1/x + 1/y
Quantitative Aptitude Preparation Strategy
1. Master the Basics
Build strong fundamentals in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. CAT quant questions often test basic concepts in clever ways.
2. Develop Shortcut Techniques
Time is crucial in CAT. Learn and practice Vedic math techniques, approximation methods, and elimination strategies.
3. Practice with Timed Tests
Regularly take topic-wise quizzes, sectional tests, and full-length mocks under exam conditions.
4. Analyze Your Performance
After each test, identify weak areas, review solutions, and maintain an error log to avoid repeating mistakes.
