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. Attempting CAT 2022 mock test will also guide candidates to devise their CAT exam day strategy. The CAT 2022 question paper will have a similar CAT exam pattern to that of the CAT 2021 question paper.
