PGDBA Previous Year Paper | PGDBA Quant Questions | Question 24

CAT 2022 Quant was dominated by Arithmetic followed by Algebra. 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.

Question 24 : If the line \( \frac { x } { a } + \frac { y } { b } = 1 \) is a tangent to the curve \( x ^ { \frac { 2 } { 3 } } + y ^ { \frac { 2 } { 3 } } = 1 \), then which of the following is TRUE?

  1. \( a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 } = \frac { 2 } { 3 } \)
  2. \( a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 } = 1 \)
  3. \( a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 } = 2 \)
  4. \( \frac { 1 } { a ^ { 2 } } + \frac { 1 } { b ^ { 2 } } = 1 \)
