Weekly Math prep question for TANCET MBA

I will periodically post interesting questions similar to those that are tested in the TANCET MBA and TANCET MCA tests.

As you are aware a fifth (i.e.,) 20 questions out of the 100 questions in the TANCET MBA paper is the math or the quant section. And about 60 questions out of the 100 questions in TANCET MCA paper is the math or the quant section.

The math that is tested in both the TANCET MBA and TANCET MCA sections are 10th standard level math.

Be assured that you will not see any of the 12th standard level math questions such as Calculus, Matrices, Vectors etc., as this exam is open to even students who would not have taken math in class 12.

In effect, what TANCET math tests is Arithmetic, Basic Algebra, Geometry topics. For good measure get yourself acquainted with Modern math topics such as Permutation Combination and Probability and Set theory if you want to score high in this section.

TANCET Exam is conducted in the second or third week of May every year. If you are keen on cracking the test, then you should start your TANCET Preparation about 3 to 6 months before the test date.
