CAT 2012: QA: Geometry, Coordinate Geometry and Mensuration

Above  topics are grouped together since they deal with the portion of QA that can be visualized. Of the three, maximum weightage is given to geometry, although every CAT paper will have 3-4 questions on mensuration, as well as a couple of questions on coordinate geometry, totaling about 25-30% of questions in the QA section.

Topics that need to be covered in geometry are basic theorems involving triangles, circles and parallel lines. A common type of question that is often asked in CAT is to find the value of certain angles or length of certain sides. Therefore, make sure that you cover topics such as congruency and similarity of triangles.

The only things that you need to do in coordinate geometry are straight lines and circles. Given the equation of a circle, you should be able to comment on the centre and radius of the circle and draw it on a piece of graph paper, and nothing more.

Similarly, you should know what the slope and y-intercept of a given straight line equation is, and be able to draw the line on a piece of graph paper.

For mensuration, flip through a school level textbook for basic formulae on areas, surface areas and volumes of triangles, circles, cylinders, cones, cuboids and spheres. Mensuration problems are calculation intensive, and require lots of practice.

 Hopefully Mock Tests will  give you required practice so that you can achieve confidence to be successful in CAT 2012.

CAT 2012: LR - Preparation: Proposition & Logical deduction

CAT 2012 aspirants may note the following for LR section :

In Logic, any categorical statement is termed as the Proposition.

A Proposition (or a categorical statement) is a statement that asserts that either a part of, or the whole of, one set of objects - the set identified by the subject term in the sentence expressing that statement - either is included in, or is excluded from, another set - the set identified by the predicate term in that sentence.

The standard form of a proposition is:

Quantifier + Subject + Copula + Predicate

 Thus, the proposition consists of four parts:

1)  Quantifier: The words 'all', 'no' and 'some' are called quantifiers because they specify a quantity 'All' and 'no' are universal quantifiers because they refer to every object in a certain set, while the quantifier 'some' is a particular quantifier because it refers to at least one existing object in a certain set.

2)  Subject (denoted by 'S'): The subject is that about which something is said.

3)  Predicate (denoted by 'P'): The predicate is the part of the proposition denoting that which is affirmed or denied about the subject.

4)  Copula: The copula is that part of the proposition which denotes the relation between the subject and the predicate.

CAT 2012: Data Interpretation (DI) is an Intensive section

CAT 2012 aspirants must note that DI is the calculation intensive portion of the exam. It consists of a myriad of graphs, charts and tables from which you will have to glean and analyze data. 

The key to cracking this area is to quickly identify the key pieces of data that you will require to work on the questions asked. It is not unknown for question-setters of the CAT to try and bewilder students with a large amount of data, most of it unnecessary.

As a rule, the more the data presented, the easier the questions that follow, so don’t lose heart if you see a table with 10 columns occupying one whole page. On the other hand, several seemingly innocuous questions may trip you up.

Therefore, you are advised to look at the questions first to get an idea of what data you need to be searching for in the graphs/charts/tables in the main question asked.

Since CAT 2012 is approaching very fast , you must practice with Mock Tests to achieve mission CAT 2012.
