Algebra (Linear Equation) And CAT Algebra Questions
Linear Equationsis an important part of Algebra as well as for the CAT exam. You can expect 1 or 2 algebra questions for the CAT Exam.
Linear equations are mathematical statements which are used to find the value of some unknown variable(s). Graphically linear equations always form a straight-line curve.
What is a linear equation?
A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable.
Linear Equation in three variables: ax + by + cz + d = 0 a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0, c ≠ 0, x, y, z are the variables.
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b; m = slope of the line b = y-intercept
Point Slope form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)
To Solve Linear Equations, the Number of variables cannot be greater than the number of equations.
CAT linear equation questions can be categorised into the following types:
Questions that involve calculations of some unknown variables.
CAT linear arrangement questions that involve calculations of the number of solutions/ Types of solutions.
Methods of solving Linear Equations:
Method of Substitution: It involves picking one equation from the pair of linear equations in two variables and writing one variable in terms of the other. Then substitute that value in the other equation.
Elimination Method: It involves adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate one of the variables, making it possible to solve for the remaining variable.
Graphical Method: This method visually shows the solution to a pair of linear equations by plotting the lines and finding their intersection point.

Question 1. When you reverse the digits of the number 13, the number increases by 18. How many other two-digit numbers increase by 18 when their digits are reversed?
[CAT Question Paper 2013]
7
5
6 (Correct answer)
8
Solution:
Let the number be (10a + b), so when the digits of the number are reversed, the number becomes (10b + a).
According the question, (10b + a) – (10a + b) = 18
13 is already there, so other possible numbers are 24, 35, 46, 57, 68, and 79.
So, the total number of possible numbers (except 13) is 6.
Question 2. Let k be a constant. The equations kx + y = 3 and 4x + ky = 4 have a unique solution if and only if [CAT Question Paper 2020]
k ≠ 2
|k| = 2
k = 2
|k| ≠ 2 (Correct answer)
Solution:
For a unique solution,
a1/ a2 ≠ b1/ b2
⇒ k / 4 ≠ 1 / k
⇒ k2 ≠ 4
⇒ |k| ≠ 2
Question 3. The cost of 12 apples and 15 oranges is INR 660. The cost of 15 apples and 21 oranges is INR 870. Find the cost of one apple.
INR 25
INR 15
INR 30
INR 20
Solution:
Let the cost of one apple be x and one orange is y.
According to the question,
12x + 15y = 660 .......(1)
And, 15x + 21y = 870 ........(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 4, we get,
60x + 75y = 3300 and 60x + 84y = 3480
Subtracting these equations, we get,
75y - 84y = 3300 - 3480
⇒ 9y = 180
⇒ y = 20
Putting this value in (1), we get,
12x + 15(20) = 660
⇒ 12x + 300 = 660
⇒ 12x = 360
⇒ x = 30
Hence, the correct answer is INR 30.
Question 4. The cost of 3 pieces of bread and 1 packet of juice at a certain store is Rs. 323.50. At the same store, the cost of 5 pieces of bread and 1 packet of juice is Rs. 433.50. What will be the cost of 2 pieces of bread and 2 packets of juice at this store?
Rs. 427
Rs. 350
Rs. 403
Rs. 433
Solution: Let the cost of one bread be b and the cost of one packet of juice be j.
The cost of 3 breads and 1 packet of juice.
⇒ 3b + j = 323.50---(1)
The cost of 5 breads and 1 packet of juice.
⇒ 5b + j = 433.50---(2)
Subtracting the first equation from the second,
⇒ 2b = 433.50 - 323.50 = 110
⇒ b = 110/2 = 55
Substituting b = 55 into the first equation,
⇒ 3 × 55 + j = 323.50
⇒ j = 323.50 - 165 = 158.50
So, the cost of one bread is Rs. 55 and the cost of one packet of juice is Rs. 158.50.
Therefore, the cost of 2 breads and 2 packets of juice is,
⇒ 2b + 2j = 2 × 55 + 2 × 158.50 = 110 + 317 = 427
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 427.
Prerequisite To Algebra Practice Questions:
For this topic, students must have knowledge of the following while preparing through Algebra practice questions:
Speed Maths/ Vedic Maths.
Unitary Method
Variables and constants.
Tips to Prepare Linear Equations for CAT Exam:
Use the Elimination method by making the coefficient of one variable equal in two equations.
See the solution either as consistent or inconsistent.
If two lines intersect exactly at one point, then the system of equations has only one Unique solution.
If two lines coincide or stay on the same line and overlap completely, then the system of equations has infinitely many solutions.
If two lines are parallel and never intersect each other, then the system of equations has no solution. In this case, the slopes of the two lines are the same but their intercepts are different.
If a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2 x + b2y + c2 = 0 are two linear equations,
Then,
a1 / a2 ≠ b1/ b2 to have a unique solution.
a1/ a2 = b1/ b2 = c1/ c2 to have to have infinitely many solutions.
a1/ a2 = b1/ b2 ≠ c1/ c2 to have no solution.

To Find the direction of a person after taking some turns from its initial position.
To find the distance between the initial and final position.
Questions on Shadow.
Questions on the direction of the hands of the clock.
CAT 2025: VARC, DILR, and Quant MCQs & Weightages
Comprehensive CAT prep guide with focused practice on Verbal Ability, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude.
3. Distance between initial and final positions will be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem.
Direction Senses test tricks:
Draw a direction diagram.
You can count the number of rotations to find the final direction with respect to the initial direction
1 Right turn = 3 left turns = to the right of initial direction
2 Right turns = 2 left turns = to the opposite of initial direction
3 Right turns = 1 left turn = to the left of initial direction
4 Right turns = 4 left turns = in the same direction of initial direction
3. (Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2 (For right triangle)
4. Draw the distances in proportion while drawing a distance diagram.
Now we have to practise some direction sense aptitude questions, direction sense test questions pdf, and direction sense test MCQ to have a better understanding of this concept.
Questions that can help you to build the concept of Direction Sense (Based on CAT):
Question 1. Raju, a child labourer is looking for his uncle. He went 60 metres in the West before turning to his left. He went 20 metres before turning to his right again to look for his uncle at his home 30 metres from this point. His uncle was not there. From here he went 60 metres to the South before meeting his uncle at a grocery shop. What is the smallest distance between the starting point and his uncle’s position (nearest to its integer value)? [TITA]
Solution:
For such questions, always remember that when a person moves to his left side, he will move in anti- clockwise direction and when a person moves to his right side, he will move in a clockwise direction.
Vertical distance = 20 + 60 = 80 metres
Horizontal distance = 30 + 60 = 90 metres
Distance between initial and final position= 802 + 902 = √14500 = 120 m (Approx)
Question 2. A is in the West of B which is in the north of C. If P is in the south of A, then in which direction of B, is P?
North-East
West
South
South- West
Solution: (D)
P is in the south-west of B. (Even P can be anywhere in the line above it)
Prerequisite for CAT Logical Reasoning:
To Prepare the questions based on direction sense, a student must have the knowledge of
Knowledge of basic direction
Pythagoras theorem

Previous Year's Question Papers
CAT Exam VARC (English grammar questions for CAT on tenses)
As discussed in the previous two articles, tenses are divided into three types. Today we are going to discuss the future Tense and future tense formulas.
Future Tense: Future tense is used to describe the event that will have to occur in the coming time.
Future tense can further be divided into four categories to indicate the action as follows:
Simple Future Tense/ Future Indefinite Tense: denotes habitual action in the coming time. The action is supposed to be finished in the future but its time is not definite.
Formula: Subject + Will + Verb(present form) + Object
Example: Geetha will go abroad to study.
Future Perfect Tense: it refers to an action that will have to be completed on a later date or day but its time is known.
Formula: Subject + Will be + Verb(Present participle) + Object
Example: Geetha will have reached Delhi by next week.
Future Continuous Tense: denotes an action that will be in progress in the future.
Formula: Subject + Will have + Verb(Past participle) + Object
Example: Geetha will be coming to us in the next hour.
Future Perfect Continuous Tense: denotes an action that is under work or incomplete but will be finished in the coming time.
Formula: Subject + Will have been + Verb(Present participle) + Object
Example: Geetha will have been here by next week.
Students can make a past present future tense chart or practice on the simple future tense worksheet to understand it better. Also, read simple future tense formulas and simple future tense examples to know better.
Tenses Exercise With Answers on Future Tense: [Based on PYQs]

M/s Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, one of the top four audit and accounting firms in the world with headquarters at London, UK, and with an operational presence in 153 countries, hires Management Trainees (MT) from all the premier management institutes of India thrice every year, in the months of January, May and September.
Each new group of Management Trainees (MT) have to go through a four month rigorous training schedule, after which they have to pass through a test consisting of a written assessment and a case-analysis. The top hundred ranked Management Trainees (MT) based on the performance in the test are confirmed as Management Executives (ME). The rest are given the opportunity of undergoing the training for four months one more time along with the next batch of Management Trainees (MT) and then passing through the subsequent test consisting of the written assessment and case-analysis. The Management Trainee (MT) who fails to get confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) the second time is fired.
The scatter-graph below depicts the number of Management Trainees (MT) at Deloitte taking the tests from January 2020 till May 2022, and the vis-à-vis hired Management Trainees (MT) at Deloitte who were fired :
It is also known that for the month of September 2019 at Deloitte, 96 hired Management Trainees (MT) failed to be confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) the first time, and that 36 hired Management Trainees (MT) were fired.
Question :
In which test did the minimum number of Management Trainees (MT) get confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) in the second attempt ?
Two friends Moloy and Niloy passed out from the Purulia Institute of Science and Technology with B.Tech degrees in Mechanical Engineering, but even after a year placement was hard to find. So they decided to take the challenge head-on, came down to Kolkata, rented a garage space on Park Street, and having an affinity towards making people enjoy good food, started their firm named 'B.Tech Bread-Omlette Wala'.
They started with three items on the menu. One was the French Toast which could be prepared in 3 minutes. The second was the Egg Tortillas which took 15 minutes to prepare. Any one of Moloy and Niloy could prepare any one of them at a time. The third was the Egg Bhurji with French Fries. This however was prepared on an automated fryer which could prepare 3 servings at a time and took 5 minutes irrespective of the number of servings equal to or below 3. The fryer did not need anyone to attend to it, and the time to put in the raw ingredients could be neglected. So one could tend to the preparation of other items while the Egg Bhurji with French Fries were being prepared.
They wanted to serve the orders as early as possible after the order was given. The individual items in any order were served as and when all the items were ready, and the order was then considered closed. None of the items on the menu were prepared in advance in anticipation of future orders.
On the first day, 3 groups of customers came in and ordered at 6.00 pm, 6.10 pm, and 6.13 pm. The first order was for a plate of Egg Tortillas, two plates of French Toast, and three plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The second order was for a plate of French Toast and two plates of Egg Bhurji with French Fries. The third order was for a plate of Egg Tortilla and a plate of Egg Bhurji with French Fries.
On the backdrop of the above information answer the questions given :
Question:
Assuming that the next customer's order could only be attended to when the previous customer's order was closed, at what time would the first customer's order be considered closed ?
