How is the CAT paper structured?
3 sections, 40 minutes each: VARC, DILR, QA
The total is 2 hours and the section order is fixed. Time cannot be carried from one section to the next, so each 40 minutes has to be planned on its own. Always confirm the current pattern on the official CAT website.
How many trailing zeros does 100! have?
24
Zeros come from factor pairs of 2 and 5, and 5s are the bottleneck. Count the 5s: ⌊100/5⌋ + ⌊100/25⌋ = 20 + 4 = 24.
Main-idea questions: how do you spot the wrong options?
Too narrow, too broad, or distorted
A main idea must cover the whole passage. Reject options that describe only one paragraph (too narrow), go beyond the passage (too broad), or twist the author's claim (distorted).
You have 40 minutes and 4 sets. How do you choose which to attempt?
Spend 3–5 min scanning; pick the clearest structure
Prefer sets with clear conditions and small case-work over long text or messy data. Committing to a bad set in the first 5 minutes costs more than any other DILR mistake.
A bat and a ball cost ₹110 together. The bat costs ₹100 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
₹5
Most say ₹10, but then the bat is ₹110 and the total ₹120. With ball = x: x + (x + 100) = 110 → x = 5.
Two successive discounts of 20% and 10% equal a single discount of…?
28%
Equivalent = a + b − ab/100 = 20 + 10 − 2 = 28%. Never just add them: the second discount applies to a smaller price.
Frequently asked questions
Are the CAT flashcards free?
Yes. The CAT flashcards on PrepTest Hub are free to use. You only enter your email once to unlock all decks, and you can study on your phone or laptop.
What do the CAT flashcards cover?
There are 179 flashcards across five decks: CAT Basics (exam pattern, marking and percentile), Quant (formulas and shortcuts), VARC (reading comprehension and verbal ability strategy), DILR (set selection and logic) and Brain Teasers. New cards are added regularly.
What is the best way to use flashcards for CAT preparation?
Use them for short daily revision, about five minutes a day. Mark each card as known or not known and spend your time on the ones you keep missing. Combine flashcards with timed topic tests and full mocks, as described in our step-by-step CAT preparation guide.
Do flashcards replace practice tests?
No. Flashcards help you remember formulas, rules and strategy. You still need timed practice tests and mocks to build speed and accuracy for the CAT.
