All these 16 questions were from CAT 2001. Though dated, they give you a good feel of CAT LR – overwhelming you with lots of data, the options formats requiring you to do a lot more reading, questions are very varied and unusual types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAT, these days, does not have stand-alone questions like these. In CAT 2-024, there are 5 sets, each having 4 or 5 questions, with a total of 22 questions, to be solved in 40 minutes. And the sets are quite tougher than these questions. Hereafter we will mostly be solving sets itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
