Medians and centroid: 2:1 split and equal-area pieces
CAT has tested this idea 4 times across 4 papers, from 2017 to 2024. Solve one, and the others are the same method with different numbers or wording, which is why repeated concepts are the most efficient thing to practise.
| Question | What it asks | Answer |

| CAT 2022 Slot 3 · QA Q7 | medians meet at O; area of triangle EOD | 9 |
| CAT 2024 Slot 3 · QA Q7 | medians meet midpoint triangle; area of XYZ | 90 |
| CAT 2017 Slot 1 · QA Q16 | triangle GBC cut off at centroid | B |
