Top CAT Quant Logarithms Questions [Download PDF]

Logarithms are a key topic in the CAT Quantitative Ability (QA) section, consistently appearing in exams over the years. Typically, 1-2 straightforward questions on logarithms are included, making it essential for students to master the basics and practice thoroughly. Reviewing CAT past papers with detailed video solutions is highly recommended.

To practice important logarithm questions for the CAT exam, you can download a PDF of previous years' questions with video solutions—no sign-up required. Additionally, take 3 free CAT mock tests to assess your current level and identify your strengths and weaknesses.
