Big CAT Quiz of the Lockdown
Monday, May 18th, 2020
Quizzing is an old hobby of mine. I used to quiz a bit in school and a lot in my college years at Kharagpur. As a matter of fact, I even travelled to Indore and Allahabad to participate in quizzes. And back in the day, travel for hobbies didn’t happen by flight but by sleeper class trains. This lockdown gave me an opportunity to conduct couple of live quizzes and I will be lying if I said I didn’t have fun doing them. One of them was based on food and another one on Bollywood. As a matter of fact, I am planning another one on Cricket soon. You can follow me on twitter – I will share details about the same once the time and date is final.
I decided to combine this hobby of mine with CAT preparation to come up with the idea of ‘Big CAT Quiz of the Lockdown’. Now you might be wondering that what does this even mean. Well, I have two goals with this quiz event:
- Provide CAT aspirants with some important information
- Have some fun
Given below are more details about the event. Hope you will take part in it and have fun as well.
And yes – the name is inspired by Jimmy Carr’s shows.

Sample Question on Probability
Narendra, Amit, Rahul, Arvind, Mamta, Udhav, Nirmala, Sonia are 8 corrupt politicians with Swiss bank accounts with different amounts in their accounts. What is the probability that Amit has more than Rahul, Arvind, and Mamta?
Solution to Sample Question
Answer: 1/4
We are only interested in relative position of these 4.
So we can imagine the question as an arrangement question.
Probability of Amit sitting on the 1st position = 1/4
