CAT Probability is an important topic in the Modern Math chapter of the Quantitative Aptitude (QA) section of the Common Admission Test (CAT). It covers basic probability, favourable outcomes, conditional probability. Practising CAT Probability PYQs helps candidates understand question patterns, improve calculation speed, and identify concepts that appear frequently. No Probability question appeared in CAT 2021-2025. The 4 questions in this PDF come from CAT 1990-1993.

How to Prepare for CAT Probability Using PYQs
Follow a three-stage preparation plan to get the most out of the question bank.
- Build conceptual clarity: Revise basic probability, favourable outcomes, conditional probability before attempting timed practice.
- Practise topic-wise PYQs: Solve the 4 CAT Probability questions in this PDF. Record the year and slot, your accuracy, and the time taken.
- Attempt mixed sets: Once Probability is comfortable, mix it with other Modern Math questions. Review incorrect answers and identify whether the mistake came from concept selection, calculation, or time management.
Because no Probability question appeared in CAT 2021-2025, treat it as lower priority than the chapters that appear every year, but do not skip it entirely.
