CAT important formulae to ace this exam
Formulae are an integral part of answering the CAT questions paper. The formulas are majorly associated with the section of Quantitative Ability. Here are some formulae which shall be in the mind of candidates to secure good marks in this MBA exam.
CAT exam 2022: Basic mathematical formulae
|
(a + b)² = (a² + b² + 2ab) |
(a – b)² = (a² + b² – 2ab) |
|
(a + b)² = (a² + b² + 2ab) |
(a + b)(a – b) = (a² – b²) |
|
(a³ – b³) = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²) |
When a + b + c = 0, then a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc |
CAT important formulae for number system
|
(1² + 2² + 3² + ….. + n²) = n ( n + 1 ) (2n + 1) / 6 |
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + … + n = n(n + 1)/2 |
|
(1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ….. + n³) = (n(n + 1)/ 2)² |
Sum of first n odd numbers = n² |
Mathematical formulas for profit, loss and discount
|
Profit % = Profit/(C P)×100 |
Profit/Gain = (S.P.) – (C.P.) |
|
C P = 100/(100+gain %)×S P |
S P = (100+gain % )/100 ×C P |
|
Loss % = Loss/(C.P.)×100 |
C P = 100/(100-loss %)×S P |
Candidates must keep practicing the previous year CAT question papers including the CAT 2021 question paper in these last days.
