Trigonometry (angles, triangle ratios, identities) is another minor topic in CAT. Pure trig questions have been quite rare in 2017–2024 exams.

• It might appear indirectly in a geometry problem (e.g., requiring the value of sin/cos of a special angle or a height-distance problem).
  • For example, CAT 2018’s QA did not list any direct trigonometry questions in the analysis.
  • CAT 2019’s distribution shows 0 explicit trig questions (geometry was separate).
• A few papers included trig-based series or simple identity simplifications as part of “Miscellaneous” questions.
• Generally, 0 questions in many years, occasionally 1.

Summary: Trigonometry is not a regular feature in recent CAT papers – when included, it tends to be easy (like evaluating a value of sin 30 + cos 60). Overall, it has a very low weight (some years none at all from 2017–2024).
