Tips On CAT Preparation For Number System (Factors and Trailing Zeroes)
Find the number of 5s to find the trailing zeroes is n! as the number of 2s is always greater than the number of 5s. Eg: number of trailing zeros in 100! = [100/5] + [100/25] = 20 + 4 =24 where, [x] is the greatest integer function. So, we can write the number of trailing zeroes in n! = [n/5] + [n/25] + [n/125] + ……….
Product of all factors of N = N (no of factors/2)
To find the even factors, divide the given number by 2 and find the number of total factors of the quotient.
Apply the concepts to practice Number System questions.

Questions On the Line Graph From CAT Previous Year Papers
Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below. A study was conducted to ascertain the relative importance that employees in five different countries being assigned to five different traits in their Chief Executive Officers. The traits were compassion (C), decisiveness (D), negotiation skills (N), public visibility (P), and vision (V). The level of dissimilarity between two countries is the maximum difference in the ranks allotted by the two countries to any of the five traits. The following table indicates the rank order of the five traits for each country. [ CAT Question Paper 2015]
Q1. Which of the following pairs of countries are most dissimilar?
China and Japan
India and China
Malaysia and Japan
Thailand and Japan
Ans: (4)
Difference in ranks skills-wise is shown as below:
C
N
D
V
P
China and Japan
3-2 =1
2-1 =1
4-1 =3
5-4 =1
5-3= 2
India and China
2-1= 1
3-1 =2
5-4 = 1
5-4 = 1
3-2 =1
Malaysia and Japan
4-3 =1
5-2 =3
2-1= 1
4-1 = 3
5- 3 =2
Thailand and Japan
3-2 =1
3-2 =1
5-1 =4
4-1 =3
5-4=1
Thailand and Japan should be the answer since these countries show the maximum difference in ranks (i.e., 4) on the basis of decisiveness.
No other countries show a difference of 4.
Q2. Which of the following countries is least dissimilar to India?
China
Japan
Malaysia
Thailand
Ans: (1)
Difference between the ranks on the basis of given traits of other countries with India is calculated.
Traits
China
Japan
Malaysia
Thailand
C
2-1=1
5-1=4
4-1=3
2-1=1
P
3-2=1
4-2=2
N
3-1=2
3-3=0
V
5-4=1
4-2=2
D
5-4=1
5-5=0
India and China show a maximum difference of 2 for 1 time.
India and Japan show a difference of greater than 2 (Compassion), so it cannot be least dissimilar and we need not to calculate differences for other traits.
Similar is the case with Malaysia.
With Thailand, the difference of 2 appeared twice. Therefore it can not be least dissimilar. The answer is China.
Q3. Which amongst the following countries is most dissimilar to India?
China
Japan
Malaysia
Thailand
Solution: (2)
since China is the least dissimilar, as discussed in the previous question. So, China cannot be the answer, and we will not find the differences for China in this case.
Traits
Japan
Malaysia
Thailand
C
5-1=4
4-1=3
2-1=1
P
5-2 =3
3-2=1
4-2=2
N
3-2=1
5-3=2
3-3=0
V
4-4=0
4-1=3
4-2=2
D
3-1=2
5-2=3
5-5=0
Clearly, Japan shows the maximum difference in ranks, So Japan is most dissimilar in ranks with India

Tips and Tricks to Solve Factor and Table Questions
Mastering factors and multiplication tables is essential for quick and accurate math problem-solving. With the right strategies, identifying factors and solving table-based questions becomes easier. Practice, recognition of patterns, and smart shortcuts significantly improve speed and confidence in exams.
Tip 1: Learn Tables Up to 20 Thoroughly
Example: To solve 14 × 7 quickly, recall the table of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98.
Memorising multiplication tables up to 20 boosts your ability to solve problems swiftly. Knowing answers instantly reduces the time needed for calculations and supports better factor recognition. Use songs, flashcards, or apps to reinforce memory.
Tip 2: Use Factor Pairs
Example: Factors of 36: (1,36), (2,18), (3,12), (4,9), (6,6)
Writing numbers as factor pairs helps in identifying all possible factors efficiently. Start with 1 and go up to the square root of the number. For 36, check from 1 to 6; each valid division gives a complete pair.
Tip 3: Apply Divisibility Rules
Example: 72 is divisible by 3 because 7 + 2 = 9 (which is divisible by 3).
Divisibility rules help identify factors quickly without full division. Learn rules for 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10. These rules simplify spotting common factors and validating whether one number is a factor of another.
Tip 4: Break Numbers into Prime Factors
Example: 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Prime factorisation breaks a number down into its simplest building blocks. This is especially helpful in finding LCM, HCF, or solving word problems. Use factor trees or the division method for clarity and systematic calculation.
Tip 5: Use Multiples to Identify Common Factors
Example: Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24...; Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24... ⇒ Common multiple: 24
Listing multiples can identify the least common multiple (LCM) or help in comparing tables. It’s useful when solving time-based or event problems where something repeats at different intervals.
Tip 6: Recognise Square and Cube Numbers
Example: 49 is 7²; 27 is 3³
Recognising square and cube numbers helps quickly determine factors and simplify root-based problems. Memorise squares up to 30 and cubes up to 12 to improve speed and pattern recognition in exams and mental math tasks.
We will be back with Day-6 strategy. Do practice and be focused.
Thank You
All the best.

CAT 2023 Official Question Paper and Answer Key (Slot 1)
Q: How should I practice these topics effectively on Day 5?
A:
Dedicate time to revising multiplication tables, solve at least 20 factor-based questions, and review basic grammar rules related to conjunctions and interjections.
Q: What are the common mistakes students make while solving factor-based questions?
A:
Students often miss out on factor pairs or forget to check for divisibility. Another mistake is assuming primes or not verifying all factors up to the square root.
Q: How do conjunctions and interjections help in CAT’s VARC section?
A:
Conjunctions help understand the logical flow of ideas in reading comprehension and para jumbles. Interjections, though less common, aid in identifying tone or intent in sentence correction or fill-in-the-blanks.
Q: What is the best way to memorise multiplication tables efficiently?
A:
Use repetition techniques like writing and chanting tables daily. Break them into patterns (e.g., even numbers for 2’s table) or use apps and flashcards. Learning through rhymes or visual charts can also help retain tables up to 20 quickly and effectively.
Q: Why are factors and tables important for CAT 2025 preparation?
A:
Factors and multiplication tables form the foundation of arithmetic problem-solving. CAT Quantitative Aptitude questions often require quick calculations and number sense.
Q: Will CAT 2025 be tough?
A:
CAT is a very competitive exam, and the level of difficulty changes every year. Quantitative Aptitude and LRDI are usually moderate to tough, but VARC may be tricky as it involves reading comprehension complexity. But as CAT is a percentile-based test, your ranking depends on how you perform in relation to other candidates.
Q: How should I start preparing for CAT 2025?
A:
Begin with the knowledge of exam pattern, going through previous year papers, and making a systematic study plan. Prioritize conceptual clarity and then proceed to mock tests and sectional practice. A constant analysis of mock tests will enable you to realize your weaknesses and enhance your speed and accuracy.
Q: Are previous year CAT papers enough for preparation?
A:
Past year papers are needed to grasp the pattern of the exam and the types of frequently asked questions, but they alone are not sufficient. Practice mock tests, sectional tests, and topic-wise questions to enhance speed, accuracy, and problem-solving abilities as well. As CAT questions don't repeat word by word, candidates need to focus on concepts instead of memorization.
Q: When will CAT 2025 be conducted?
A:
CAT 2025 is likely to be held in November 2025, tentatively on the last Sunday of the month.
Q: Which IIM will conduct CAT 2025?
A:
CAT is organized by one of the IIMs on a rotational basis every year. The organizing IIM for CAT 2025 will be mentioned in the official notification released likely in July 2025. Though the pattern and structure of the exam remain unchanged, the question pattern and difficulty level could be slightly different based on the organizing IIM.

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 ?
