For Day 14 of our CAT preparation, we’re focusing on Quadratic Equations questions. This article will help you practice and understand different types of Quadratic Equations that frequently appear on the exam.
Following the 60-day CAT exam preparation schedule we’ve provided will keep you on track with a structured plan. We’ve already covered strategies for Algebra (Linear Equations ), Direction ion (Logical Reasoning), and Future Tenses on Day 13. Today, we’ll dive into quadratic equations to further enhance your preparation.
Part-1: Quantitative Aptitude for CAT 2024
Topic: Quadratic Equation (Algebra) And Quadratic Equation Questions For CAT
Quadratic Equations are the equations with degree 2. Quadratic Equations are an important part of Algebra as well as for the CAT exam. You can expect 1 or 2 algebra questions for the CAT Exam (based on analysis of previous year's question papers).
Quadratic Equations are of the form of ax2 + bx + c =0.
Here ‘x’ denotes variables (unknown) and a, b, and c are constants and a≠ 0.
To prepare CAT Quadratic Equations questions, you should invest 4-5 hours. Here we will discuss the quadratic equation CAT questions, quadratic equation formula, quadratic equation solutions, roots of quadratic equations, Quadratic Equations examples etc.
Quadratic equation problems for CAT can be categorised into the following types:
Questions that involve calculations of some unknown variable.
Questions that involve calculations of the nature of roots.
Formation of the quadratic equation.

Download NowHow to solve quadratic Equations problems for CAT and quadratic equation questions for CAT.
There are three methods which are generally used to find the roots (zeros) of a quadratic equation.
Method of factorization
Example: 2x2 + 5x + 3 = 0
⇒ 2x2 + 2x + 3x + 3 = 0
⇒ 2x(x + 1) + 3(x + 1) = 0
⇒ (x + 1) (2x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = -1 or x = -3/2.
This method is suitable only if factors of the quadratic polynomial are possible.
Quadratic Formula (Sridharacharya Formula)
For equation ax2 + bx + c =0.
x = [-b ± √D] /2a
where D is discriminant which is equal to (b2 - 4ac).
Example: 2x2 + 5x + 3 = 0
D = 52 - 4 x 2 x 3 = 1
x = [-5 ± √1] /4 = [-5 ± 1] /4
⇒ x = -1 or -3/2.
Method of completing the square:
Convert the given equation in the form of either (A+B)2 or (A-B)2
Example:
2x2+ 5x + 3 = 0
⇒ x2 + 5x/2 + 3/2 = 0
⇒ x2 + 2 x 5x/4 + 25/16 – 25/16 + 3/2 = 0
⇒ (x + 5/4)2 – 1/16 = 0
⇒ (x + 5/4)2 = 1/16
⇒ (x + 5/4) = ± ¼
⇒ x = ± ¼ - 5/4
⇒ x = -1 or -3/2
CAT quadratic equation questions with solutions:
The two Previously Asked Questions from Quadratic Equations in the CAT exam are given below, aspirants can also download the CAT Previous Year Algebra Questions pdf for more practice and references.
Q.1. Suppose one of the roots of the equation ax2 - bx + c = 0 is 2 + √3, where a, b, and c are rational numbers and a ≠ 0. If b = c3 then |a| equals [CAT question paper - 2021]
2
3
4
1
Solution: (a)
For a quadratic equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0.
Since the roots, a, b, and c are all rational and if one of the roots is irrational, the other root of the equation will also be irrational and a conjugate of the first root.
So, the other root is 2 - √ 3.
Sum of roots = −(-b)/a = b/a = (2 + √ 3) + (2 - √ 3) = 4
And Product of roots = c/a = (2 + √ 3) (2 - √ 3) = 4 - 3 = 1
But here the quadratic equation is ax2 - bx + c = 0.
Therefore, b = 4a and c = a
It is given that b = c3
4a = a3
So, a = 2 or -2.
So, |a| = 2.
Q.2. Let m and n be positive integers, If x2 + mx + 2n = 0 and x2 + 2nx + m = 0 have real roots, then the smallest possible value of m + n is [CAT Question Paper 2020]
8

Ans: (b)
CAT 2024 quadratic equations questions with answers
For real roots b2 ≥ 4ac
From first equation: m2 ≥ 4 (2n)
⇒ m2 ≥ 8n
From second equation: (2n)2 ≥ 4m
⇒ 4n2 ≥ 4m
⇒ n2 ≥ m
If n = 1; m2≥ 8; m ≥ 3
If m ≥ 3 at n = 1, n2 ≥ m is not true.
If n = 2; m2 ≥ 16; m ≥ 4
If m ≥ 4 at n = 2, n2 ≥ m which is a valid result, if m = 4 and n = 2
So, the minimum sum of m and n is 4+2 = 6.
Q.3. The sum of twice a number and thrice its reciprocal is 25/2. What is the number?
(a) 7 (b) 6 (c) 5 (d) 4
Ans: (b)
Given: The sum of twice a number and thrice its reciprocal is 25/2.
Let the number be x.
According to the question,
⇒ 2x + 3/x = 25/2
⇒ 4x2 + 6 = 25x
⇒ 4x2 – 25x + 6 = 0
⇒ 4x2 – 24x – x + 6 = 0
⇒ (4x – 1)(x – 6) = 0
⇒ (4x–1) = 0 or (x–6) = 0
⇒ x = 6 or ¼
After checking the options, we get, x=6
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
Q.4. If (x – 2)(x – p) = x2 – ax + 6, then the value of (a – p) is:
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3
Ans: (c)
Given: (x – 2)(x – p) = x2 – ax + 6
⇒ x2– px – 2x + 2p=x2 – ax + 6
⇒ x2 – (p + 2)x + 2p=x2 –ax + 6
By comparing both sides of the equation,
p + 2 = a
⇒ a – p = 2
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
Q.5. If x2 + y2 + 2x + 1 = 0, then the value of x31 + y35 is:
(a) –1 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 0
Ans: (a)
Given:
x2 + y2 + 2x + 1 = 0
⇒ x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 = 0
⇒ (x+1)2 + y2 = 0
Since the addition of the squares of the two terms is zero,
So, both the terms are individually zero.
Therefore, (x + 1)2 = 0 and y2 = 0
⇒ x = –1 and y = 0
Now, x31 + y35
= (–1)31 + (0)35
= –1
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
Prerequisite to Solve Quadratic Equation Questions For CAT
For this topic, students must have knowledge of
Degree of Polynomials and zeros of a polynomial.
Tips to Prepare CAT previous year quadratic equations questions:
Learn all the methods of solving Quadratic Equations and use those methods according to the situation.
If the sum of zeros of a quadratic equation is ‘s’ and the product of zeros is ‘p’. Then the quadratic equation will be x2 - sx + p = 0
The nature of zeros is calculated by just finding the value of D.
If D = 0, zeros/ roots are real and equal.
If D > 0, zeros/ roots are real and unequal.
If D < 0, zeros/ roots are imaginary.The sum of the roots = -b/a; Product of roots = c/a.
Always check for the feasibility of solutions.

Part 2: CAT Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation:
Questions based on cubes play an important role in CAT. Here we will discuss cube CAT questions, Cube Logical Reasoning questions, cube logical reasoning tricks etc.
Topic: Cube Part-1 (LR) And CAT Questions On Cubes
A cube is a 3-D figure which consists of 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
CAT questions on Cube are based on the following concepts:
Painted surface
Opposite faces
Consecutive faces
Number of cuts to make smaller cubes of equal dimension
Approaches and Tips to Solve Cube Questions Logical Reasoning:
If all the faces of a cube (n x n x n) painted with the same colour are cut into (n x n x n) equal parts.
Number of cubes with 3 faces painted = 8 cubes
Number of cubes with exactly 2 faces painted = (n-2) x 12
Number of cubes with exactly 1 face painted = (n – 2)2 x 6
Number of cubes with 0 faces painted = (n-2)3
You can assume your room is a cube to analyze the situation.
You can use the approach of the open cube to solve the question.
Six faces can be seen like this
(1,6), (2,4), and (3,5) form opposite pairs.
Adjacent faces to face 3 are 1,2,4 and 6. Similarly, we can find the others.
Number of cuts to small cubes of equal size (n) from a larger cuboid of dimension (a x b x c) = (a/2 -1) + (b/2 -1) + (c/2 -1)
Questions that can help you to build the concept of Cubes (Based on CAT EXAM):
An Iron cube is coloured black on four adjoining surfaces while the opposite sides are coloured red. The cube is then cut two times vertically and four times horizontally at right angles. Based on the same answer to the next question.
Q.1. How many cubes (cuboids) have exactly one face coloured black?
