Rest Of Qa | Pw Mba Pioneer 2023 Batch-

Since “Rest of QA” generally means everything except the core 4 pillars (Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Numbers) , this content is designed for MBA entrance exams (CAT, XAT, SNAP, NMAT, etc.). 🔹 Part A: Modern Mathematics (High Weightage in CAT/XAT) | Topic | Sub-topics | Key Concepts | |--------|-------------|----------------| | Permutation & Combination | Counting principles, arrangements, selections, circular permutations, derangements | nPr, nCr, multiset permutations, rank of a word | | Probability | Classical probability, conditional probability, Bayes’ theorem, random variables | Dice, cards, coins, balls, independent/dependent events | | Set Theory | Union, intersection, Venn diagrams (2 & 3 sets), inclusion-exclusion principle | Max/min values, set operations word problems | | Binomial Theorem | General term, coefficients, application in divisibility/remainders | (1+x)^n expansion, properties of binomial coefficients | 🔹 Part B: Data Interpretation (DI) – Must for DILR section | Type | Description | |-------|-------------| | Tables | Missing data, ratio/proportion-based tables | | Bar Graphs | Stacked, clustered, percentage change | | Line Charts | Growth trends, CAGR, multiple lines | | Pie Charts | Angle ↔ percentage, comparative pies | | Mixed DI | Table + graph, caselets (paragraph-based data) | | Data Sufficiency | 2-statement problems (CAT/NMAT pattern) | 🔹 Part C: Advanced & Miscellaneous QA | Topic | Sub-topics | |--------|-------------| | Logarithms | Laws of logs, characteristic & mantissa, equations | | Functions & Graphs | Domain/range, modulus, greatest integer, fractional part, even/odd | | Inequalities | Linear, quadratic, rational, modulus inequalities | | Progressions (AP, GP, HP) | nth term, sum, infinite GP, AM ≥ GM ≥ HM | | Mixtures & Alligations (if not covered in Arithmetic) | Replacement formula, price/quantity mixing | | Time & Work (advanced) | Pipes & cisterns, work efficiency with LCM method | | Time, Speed & Distance (advanced) | Relative speed, upstream/downstream, races, circular tracks | 🗓️ 4-Week Study Plan (PW MBA Pioneer 2023 Batch – Rest of QA) Assuming 6 days/week, 1.5–2 hours/day
