IIMK BMS AT 2025 Quantitative Aptitude PYQs

IIMK BMS AT 2025 Quantitative Aptitude PYQ: Algebra, Geometry, Arithmetic

This set tests quadratics, series, mensuration, trigonometry, logarithms, probability and arithmetic through the Quantitative Aptitude questions of the IIMK BMS AT 2025 paper. It is the quant section of IIM Kozhikode's BMS admission test, separated for focused practice. Aptitude360 gives a worked solution for each problem.

Topics covered in the IIMK BMS AT 2025 quant section

• Quadratic equations: relations between roots and roots in a given ratio
• Series of surds, indices, cube roots and logarithm simplification
• Mensuration: spheres, wires, water flowing through pipes into tanks and trapezium area
• Trigonometric identities, heights and angles of elevation
• Circles: tangents from an external point and chords of concentric circles
• Arithmetic: ratios, percentages, profit and loss, ages, interest, trains and boats
• Median, probability of repeated coin tosses and polynomial remainders

Key formulas for IIMK BMS AT quant

• Roots of \( ax^{2}+bx+c=0 \): \( \alpha+\beta=-\dfrac{b}{a},\ \alpha\beta=\dfrac{c}{a} \)
• Sum of an AP: \( S_{n}=\dfrac{n}{2}\left[2a+(n-1)d\right] \)
• Volume of a sphere: \( V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} \)
• CI minus SI for two years, compounded annually: \( P\left(\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^{2} \)
• Change of base: \( \log_{a}x=\dfrac{\log x}{\log a} \)
• Half angle: \( \dfrac{\sin\theta}{1+\cos\theta}=\tan\dfrac{\theta}{2} \)

Revision tips for BMS quantitative aptitude

• When a solid is melted and recast, equate volumes before anything else
• For at least one success questions, subtract the probability of no success from one
• Convert logarithms to a common base before combining terms
• In boat problems, write upstream and downstream speeds as difference and sum first

Who should practise this set

IIMK BMS AT aspirants who have covered school maths and want sectional quant practice before attempting the full 2025 paper.
