CAT Geometry questions for practice

Practice previous years' CAT Geometry questions

CAT Geometry questions are usually TITA type so you don’t have any kind of a reference point to base your answer option selection. You have to apply the formula and solve it in rough sheet to find the correct value. The questions are largely based on Two-dimensional geometry, Three Dimensional Geometry, Co-ordinate geometry. To crack CAT Geometry questions you have to be thorough with basic Geometric formulae and know tricks to solve them in shortest time span.
