Ans. The golden rules for solving square and cube roots in the CAT exam are as follows:
1. Memorize the squares and cubes of numbers from 1 to 30 to save time during calculations.
2. Use prime factorization to simplify the given number before finding its square or cube root.
3. Break down the given number into its factors and group them in pairs to find the square or cube root.
4. Use estimation techniques to quickly approximate the square or cube root when the options are available.
5. Practice regularly to improve speed and accuracy in solving square and cube root problems.
