CAT exam questions are best approached with shortcuts due to limited questions; using shortcuts can solve questions in 40-50 seconds, such as calculating totals based on given averages and values.
To find the number of positive integers where n^2 - 36 is a non-zero perfect square, one can factorize n^2 - 36 = p^2 to simplify the calculation, especially for those proficient in numbers and algebra.
Determining the number of perfect square factors of 108 involves identifying numbers that divide 108, resulting in factors like 1, 4, 9, and 36, totaling four perfect square factors.
In alternating day work scenarios, like creating an examination paper, understanding the pattern of work distribution can simplify solving such questions, allowing for quick identification of question difficulty levels and strategic answering.
