Started late prep due to job and now half way down the prep feeling demotivated so this question.. 😟

Hey guys.

Need some opinion. I just got my Arun Sharma Quant. My TIME teacher says that its crap and told me not to solve it. I read the initial pages (the ones with strategy and stuff) and found it quite good and refreshing (am running out of ideas). So, I am somewhat lured into trying the book. I just want to know if it's worth it and did it raise your score and what value did it add in your preparation (the second and third ques especially for CAT-experienced guys)? I will do what the majority says (assuming there are some replies to the post 😛 ).

OD, OE and OF are perpendicular bisectors to the three sides of the triangle shown in figure – 2. What is the relationship between angle BAC and angle BOC?

m of angle BAC = 180 – m of angle BOC

measure of angle BAC = 90 + 1/2 m of angle BOC

m of angle BOC = 2m of angle BAC

None of these
