Chords in a circle: similar triangles and power of a point
CAT has tested this idea 3 times across 3 papers, from 2019 to 2025. 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 2019 Slot 1 · QA Q5 | chord crossing diameter; AE·EB = CE·ED | C |
| CAT 2023 Slot 1 · QA Q18 | cyclic quadrilateral diagonals; AE:CE from side ratios | C |
| CAT 2025 Slot 3 · QA Q18 | AB^2 = AD·AE in isosceles triangle with circle | C |
