110 Days to CAT 2025 – Solve These CAT Difficulty-Level Questions for 99+ Percentile | Planet E

The last 110 days before CAT 2025 are crucial. At this stage, success depends less on learning new theory and more on mastering CAT-level practice questions and replicating exam conditions.

CAT’s pattern changes slightly each year, but the difficulty profile remains:

• VARC: Inference-based RCs, tricky para-jumbles, concise summaries

• DILR: Puzzle-heavy reasoning sets and unconventional data interpretation

• QA: Arithmetic & Algebra dominate, but Geometry and Modern Math can be high-scoring

At Planet E, we’ve compiled 20+ practice questions based on CAT’s actual difficulty level from 2017–2023. If you solve these daily for the next 110 days, you’ll be exam-ready.

110-Day CAT Preparation Approach – Planet E Method

1. Daily Target: 1 RC + 1 DILR Set + 5 QA

2. Mocks: 2–3 per week with deep analysis

3. Weak Area Rotation: Fix problem areas in 3-day cycles

4. Accuracy Over Attempts: Aim for 85%+ accuracy before pushing speed

Q8 – VA Grammar (Error Spotting)

Neither of the answers ______ correct.
A) is
B) are

Answer: A

SECTION B – DILR (6 Questions)

CAT Trend: 4 sets × 5-6 Qs; tough reasoning

Set 1 – Puzzle (CAT 2019)

Four people – P, Q, R, and S – are sitting around a circular table.

• P is to the left of Q.

• R is opposite P.

• S is between Q and R.

Q9. Who is to the right of P?
Answer: S

Set 2 – Data Table (CAT 2020)

Q10. % growth of total sales from Jan to Mar?
Jan Total = 530, Mar Total = 680 → Growth = (150 / 530) × 100 ≈ 28.3%

Q11. In which month did X contribute highest % to total sales?

• Jan: 200/530 ≈ 37.7%

• Feb: 250/610 ≈ 40.9% ✅

• Mar: 44.1%

Answer: March

Set 3 – Venn Diagram (CAT 2018)
In a survey of 100 students:

• 60 liked Cricket (C)

• 50 liked Football (F)

• 30 liked both

Q12. How many liked only Cricket?
= 60 – 30 = 30

Q13. How many liked neither?
Total liking at least one = 60 + 50 – 30 = 80
Neither = 100 – 80 = 20

Q14 – Logical Deduction:
If every student who likes Football also likes Cricket, how many like only Cricket?
= 60 – 50 = 10

SECTION C – QA (8 Questions)

CAT Trend: Arithmetic (40%), Algebra (30%), Geometry & Modern Math (30%)

Q15 – Arithmetic (CAT 2018)
A train travels 360 km at x km/hr. At 5 km/hr more, it takes 48 min less. Find x.
→ x = 45 km/hr

Q16 – Algebra (CAT 2020)
If x+1x=4x + \frac{1}{x} = 4x+x1​=4, find x2+1x2x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2}x2+x21​.
= 42–2=144^2 – 2 = 1442–2=14

Q17 – Geometry (CAT 2017)
Radius of circle = 7 cm, find area.
= π × 49 = 153.94 cm²

Q18 – Numbers
Find LCM of 18, 24, and 30.
= 360

Q19 – Profit & Loss
A shopkeeper marks goods 25% above CP and offers 10% discount. Profit% = ?
= 12.5%

Q20 – Time & Work
A can finish work in 12 days, B in 16 days. Together = ?
1/12 + 1/16 = 7/48 → Time = 48/7 days

Q21 – Quadratic Equation
If x² – 5x + 6 = 0, roots are?
= x = 2, 3

Q22 – Permutation (CAT 2019)
Arrange letters of “PLANET” → 6! = 720
