CetKing Let’s dive into the wonderful world of inductive reasoning, which appears much more often, especially in the following CAT question types: • Assumption • Strengthen • Weaken • Evaluate • Fill in the blank • Identify the role • Identify the overall reasoning • Identify the conclusion • Mimic the reasoning (sometimes) tThe CAT and … Read more
To learn the method of elimination,lets try this problem: “*If 0 <r< 1 <s< 2, which of the following must be less than 1? “I. r/s “II. rs “III. s – r “(A) I only “(B) II only “(C) III only “(D) I and II “(E) I and III” Let’s talk about it now! What … Read more
The ratios of the intercepts of two transversals on parallel lines is the same. Consider the diagram below: Here, we can see that: “a” is the intercept of the first transversal between L1 and L2. “b” is the intercept of the first transversal between L2 and L3. “c” … Read more
Some test-takers wonder whether it is grammatically correct to use multiple tenses in a single sentence. Today we will discuss the cases in which this is acceptable and those in which this is not. The bottom line is this: there is no restriction on what tenses we can use and mix within a sentence, as … Read more
Critical Reasoning is one of the most scoring and predictable sections in MBA CET, SNAP, and NMAT. Unlike CAT, where reasoning is more passage-based and abstract, these exams focus on direct, pattern-based logic questions that can be solved quickly with the right approach. Students who understand common reasoning frameworks can easily score 6 to 10 … Read more
Test takers are often confused about division by a variable. When is it allowed, when is it not allowed? Why is it allowed in some cases and not in others? What are the constraints we need to look out for? For example: Is division by x allowed here: x^2 = 10x? Is division by x … Read more
Let’s discuss a few useful properties of primitive Pythagorean triples. A primitive Pythagorean triple is one in which a, b and c (the length of the two legs and the hypotenuse, respectively) are co-prime. So, for example, (3, 4, 5) is a primitive Pythagorean triple while its multiple, (6, 8, 10), is not. Now, without further … Read more
On quite a few occasions, the difference between the terms “few” and “a few” – a subtle, but very important distinction which has, on occasion, completely changed the meaning of a sentence. “Few”, when used without a preceding “a”, means “very few” or “none at all”. “Few” is a negative, which puts the quantity of … Read more
Article focusses today focuses on how to observe the keywords in the question stem, and how to know where to go from there. Take a look at this example Quant question: The length and width of a rectangle are integer values. What is the area of the smallest such rectangle that can be inscribed in … Read more
Evaluating ranges to arrive at deductions can extremely confusing, so today we will look at some strategies for how to deal with such problems. To start off, let’s take a look at an example problem: If it is true that z < 8 and 2z > -4, which of the following must be true? (A) -8 < … Read more
