CAT Questions

CAT 2024 Quant was dominated by Algebra followed by Arithmetic. In Arithmetic, the questions were dominated by topics like Speed-time-distance, Mixture and Alligations. This year, there was a surprise. The questions from Geometry were relatively on the lower side as compared to the previous years. There were 8 TITA Qs this year. Overall this section was at a medium level of difficulty.

Explanatory Answer

$$\begin{array}{l} 1 /(2 x-3)-1 /(x+5) \geq 0 \\ (x+5-2 x+3) /(2 x-3)(x+5) \geq 0 \\ (8-x) / 2(x-(3 / 2))(x+5) \geq 0 \\ (x-8) /(x-(3 / 2))(x+5) \leq 0 \end{array}$$ The values of $x$ satisfying the inequality : $x<-5$ or \(3 / 2
