Description
We will recommend doing 2 things before you sit for your CAT papers and solving your coaching institute’s mock papers is not one of them!
1. Finish all basic material (formulas and solved examples only) you have from any book / coaching institute. 20 % of your CAT paper will be based on basic formulas and theorems.
2. Solve last 10 years CAT papers and solve them. Another 20% of the CAT paper will be based on last 10 years papers. Learn all of them by heart.
3. Complete all questions given in your material by coaching institute or books available in the market for CAT. Another 30% of your CAT paper will be from material you already have
Expected CAT 2011 paper | Mock analysis
1. Objective of this mock Our objective is to give you direction and provide a pattern on which this year’s CAT paper will be based. Please do these questions thoroughly and revise similar questions from the material you have. Objective should not to solve one more mock but to take this as a reference and do these topics before you sit in the actual CAT. 2. What next? We will recommend doing 2 things before you sit for your CAT papers and solving your coaching institute’s mock papers is not one of them! 1. Finish all basic material (formulas and solved examples only) you have from any book / coaching institute. 20 % of your CAT paper will be based on basic formulas and theorems. 2. Solve last 10 years CAT papers and solve them. Another 20% of the CAT paper will be based on last 10 years papers. Learn all of them by heart. 3. Complete all questions given in your material by coaching institute or books available in the market for CAT. Another 30% of your CAT paper will be from material you already have. Doing this will be enough to get 99.9%ile percentile in CAT paper.

Examples of repeated questions?
Example 1: Can you find anything common in these six questions from equations… 2-3 questions based on this every year in CAT. Must do!!
Directions for 1 – 2: Five horses, Red, White, Grey, Black and Spotted participated in a race. As per the rules of the race, the persons betting on the winning horse get four times the bet amount and those betting on the horse that came in second get thrice the bet amount. Moreover, the bet amount is returned to those betting on the horse that came in third, and the rest lose the bet amount. Raju bets Rs. 3000, Rs. 2000 Rs. 1000 on Red, White and Black horses respectively and ends up with no profit and no loss. 1. Which of the following cannot be true? (1) At least two horses finished before Spotted (2) Red finished last (3) There were three horses between Black and Spotted (4) There were three horses between White and Red (5) Grey came in second 2. Suppose, in addition, it is known that Grey came in fourth. Then which of the following cannot be true? (1) Spotted came in first (2) Red finished last (3) White came in second (4) Black came in second (5) There was one horse between Black and White 3. Suppose you have a currency, named Miso, in three denominations: 1 Miso, 10 Misos and 50 Misos. In how many ways can you pay a bill of 107 Misos? : CAT 2007 (1) 17 (2) 16 (3) 18 (4) 15 (5) 19

4. Suppose you have a currency, named Miso, in three denominations: 1 Miso, 10 Misos and 50 Misos. In how many ways can you pay a bill of 107 Misos? : CAT 2007 (1) 17 (2) 16 (3) 18 (4) 15 (5) 19 5. In a tournament, there are n teams T1 , T2 . . . . . , Tn with n > 5. Each team consists of k players, k > 3. The following pairs of teams have one player in common: CAT 2007 T1 & T2 , T2 & T3 ,......, Tn-1 & Tn , and Tn & T1 . No other pair of teams has any player in common. How many players are participating in the tournament, considering all the n teams together? (1) n (k – 1) (2) k (n – 1) (3) n (k – 2) (4) k (k – 2) (5) (n – 1)(k – 1) 6. In a chess competition involving some boys and girls of a school, every student had to play exactly one game with every other student. It was found that in 45 games both the players were girls, and in 190 games both were boys. The number of games in which one player was a boy and the other was a girl is: CAT 2005 1 200 2. 216 3. 235 4. 256 Example 2: Can you find similarity in these questions based on Circles – Area.. 1 – 2 questions coming every year from the same topic… Must Do!! 1. In a triangle ABC, the lengths of the sides AB and AC equal 17.5 cm and 9 cm respectively. Let D be a point on the line segment BC such that AD is perpendicular to BC. If AD = 3 cm, then what is the radius (in cm) of the circle circumscribing the triangle ABC? CAT 08 (1) 17.05 (2) 27.85 (3) 22.45 (4) 32.25 (5) 26.25
2. Two circles, both of radii 1 cm, intersect such that the circumference of each one passes through the centre of the circle of the other. What is the area (in sq cm) of the intersecting region? CAT 08 (1) ?/3 - ?3/4 (2) 2?/3 + ?3/2 (3) 4?/3 - ?3/2 (4) 4?/3 + ?3/2 (5) 2?/3 - ?3/2
Questions 3 and 4 on the basis of the information given below: A punching machine is used to punch a circular hole of diameter two units from a square sheet of aluminium of width 2 units, as shown below. The hole is punched such that the circular hole touches one corner P of the square sheet and the diameter of the hole originating at P is in line with a diagonal of the square. CAT 06 3. The proportion of the sheet area that remains after punching is: (1) (? +2)/ 8 (2) (6 -?)/2 (3) (4 -?)/4 (4) (? -2)/ 4 MockEngineering | Increase your score by 20 marks only by mock taking strategies

(5) (14 -3 ?)/ 6
4. Find the area of the part of the circle (round punch) falling outside the square sheet. (1) ? /4 (2) (? -1)/2 (3) (? -1)/4 (4) (? -2)/2 (5) (? -2)/4
5. A semi-circle is drawn with AB as its diameter. From C, a point on AB, a line perpendicular to AB is drawn meeting the circumference of the semi-circle at D. Given that AC = 2 cm and CD = 6 cm, the area of the semi-circle (in sq. cm) will be: CAT 06 (1) 32? (2) 50? (3) 40.5? (4) 81? (5) Undeterminable 6. Two identical circles intersect so that their centers, and the points at which they intersect, form a square of side 1 cm. The area in sq. cm of the portion that is common to the two circles is: ‘05 l. ?/4 2. ?/2 – 1 3. ?/5 4. ?2 - 1

Solution – pattern forming
They are all similar questions in CAT 2008, 2007, 2006…… We know last 10 years CAT papers by heart so know how to form a pattern in the paper. We have done simple calculation on CAT papers (extrapolation). We have solved CAT 2010 and 2009 so taken into account to make the mock (unfortunately cannot be published). We have found the pattern used in CAT papers and just building the next year paper on that basis.. Note: Solving the paper is not that important but to revise the topics given in the paper is more important esp. the breakup and distribution of marks. Thanks & All the best Team MockEngineering
