Anirban | Yeah that's true.. this is not something like one size fits all..  (Hope there was some strategy like that)..Again there are some advantages and disadvantages of jumping btw sections,
When everything is smooth, u sail across all section effortlessly-- Highly fictitious scenario for me, so assuming there is atleast one section that's gonna screw me, and that happens to be the section which I had assumed as my strength and had started first, no breakthrough anywhere, what would be the ideal thing to do?? drop the section and pick another section. It will be very difficult not to think abt the first section, but then the presence of a buffer will be a comfort feeling , so my perf in the other 2 are not affected... Now having done the 2 sections well, i can come back to the 3rd section with lot more confidence and with a fresh vigour.
This is something that I quote to many "Everyone has the potential to crack cat. Some don't realise it, some don't utilise it"
But thinking abt a these things just makes us think of all -ve scenarios(just like the one above) and make CAT look appear even more formidable.... Finally as Nitin says, it is all won in the Mind.. So these 26 days apart from the usual prep stuff, I guess it is more important to alleviate questions like Can I, Will I, What if I don't from the mind...
Bcos If we(I am an un-official UDTian ) can't who will ???  | | |  | | The Following 15 Users Say Thank You to esh.nil For This Useful Post: | abhay agarwal (22-10-2007), anir-iim2005 (22-10-2007), CAT 2007 (22-10-2007), cimbaish_Nitin (22-10-2007), dsotm_floyd (22-10-2007), Greenspan (22-10-2007), ineedAbadly (22-10-2007), justlikethat (22-10-2007), krsh.vik (22-10-2007), macora (22-10-2007), mohit1984 (22-10-2007), Obsessed_bout_mba (21-08-2008), rjt163 (22-10-2007), the_phantom (22-10-2007), veritas (22-10-2007) | | | | |

Posting the same on three threads does not help either... As i already mentioned on the mock cat thread, there is a difference between passing information and advertising. I am not saying that you had the purpose of advertising but it surely did come out as one
passing info is encouraged on the forums but not in a manner in which you had posted. you do not need to copy paste the entire ad for that. And as you know posting of phone numbers is not allowed any which way.. Hope that resolves the matter

the correct funda is only for 2 terms.... a^n +b^n is div by a+b if n is odd... Proof:
f(x)=x^n + b^n
By remainder thm, its div by x+b if
f(-b)=0 which is true when n is odd.. Notice that this cannot be extended to more than 2 terms

Notice that this cannot be extended to more than 2 terms | @greenspan Bhai for n=1 expansion is 10 and sum of terms is 10 so divisible.
n=3 expansion is 100 and sum of terms is 10 again divisible.
n=5 expansion is 1300 and sum 10 again divisble.
So why you said it does not work for more than 2 terms.I guess similar ques came in CAT2005 where 3 terms were given and this formula was applicable.Can u verify...Thanks | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to mohit1984 For This Useful Post: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
