Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 40-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

How the two modes differ
No account needed

Normal

Untimed

Every question on one page, loading as you scroll. Choose an option and see straight away whether it was right.

  • No timer. Nothing to start and nothing to submit. Stop whenever you like.
  • Answered as you choose. Tap an option and it is marked at once, with the correct answer shown.
  • Solutions in place. The explanation, and the video where one has been added, sit under the question.
  • Open to guests. Normal practice needs no sign-in.
Real exam conditions

Simulated

Timed CBT

The computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.

  • A clock that does not pause. 40 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
  • Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
  • Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
  • Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.

About this test

IPMAT Indore 2025 Quant Short Answer PYQs: Typed-Answer Practice

This set tests the typed-answer quant of IPMAT Indore 2025: logical team puzzles, modulus, logarithmic progressions, matrices, geometry and number theory. Aptitude360 brings together the Short Answer questions from the 2025 paper, each with a worked solution. Because there are no options, every answer has to be calculated exactly.

Topics in this IPMAT Short Answer quant set

  • Distributing team members across expedition locations under given conditions
  • Maximising a sum of absolute differences of distinct natural numbers
  • Counting matches in a round-robin tournament after a team is suspended
  • Logarithmic terms forming an arithmetic progression
  • Overlapping groups of students appearing for two exams
  • Powers of a square matrix with an unknown entry
  • Circle tangent to adjacent sides of a square
  • Ages, minimum integer solutions, perfect-square factors and the remainder theorem

Key formulas and rules for this set

  • Sum of an AP: \( S_{n}=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d] \)
  • Round-robin matches: \( \dfrac{n(n-1)}{2} \)
  • Log of a quotient: \( \log\dfrac{m}{n}=\log m-\log n \)
  • Remainder theorem: \( P(x)\div(x-a) \) leaves \( P(a) \)
  • Perfect-square factors of \( p^{a}q^{b} \), with \( p\neq q \) primes and \( a,b\ge0 \) integers: \( (\lfloor\dfrac{a}{2}\rfloor+1)(\lfloor\dfrac{b}{2}\rfloor+1) \)

How to prepare for IPMAT typed-answer questions

  • For an integer equation, find one solution first and then step through the others to reach the minimum
  • Equal middle-term spacing is the quickest test for logs in arithmetic progression
  • Draw the figure to scale for circle and square problems before writing any equation

Who this set suits

IPMAT Indore aspirants who know the quant syllabus and want precise, option-free practice from the 2025 paper.

FAQs about IPMAT Indore 2025 Quantitative Ability (Short Answer) PYQs

What does short answer mean in IPMAT Indore quant?
Short answer items have no answer options, so you type the numerical answer yourself. Guessing from choices is not possible, so accuracy matters.
How do you find the number of perfect square factors of a number?
Write the number as a product of distinct prime powers. For each prime, count the even exponents possible from zero up to its power, then multiply these counts together.
What is the remainder theorem?
When a polynomial P of x is divided by x minus a, the remainder equals P of a. Dividing by x plus a gives P of minus a.
How many matches are played in a round robin tournament?
If every team plays every other team once, the number of matches is n times n minus one, divided by two, where n is the number of teams.
