The 2018 slot 2 DILR (Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning) section featured an interesting case study on traditional Indian handicrafts from Rajasthan. This case analyzed the production and sales data of various local products including block printed textiles, blue pottery, and leather mojaris.
One particular question focused on the revenue patterns of handcrafted wooden toys from Channapatna, Karnataka. The data interpretation required analyzing seasonal sales fluctuations and export trends to European markets. The logical reasoning component involved determining optimal production schedules based on artisan availability and raw material constraints.
Another significant problem dealt with the distribution network of Madhubani paintings from Bihar. Test takers had to interpret complex data about artist cooperatives, pricing structures, and market penetration in different Indian states. The case highlighted the challenges faced by local artisans in scaling their businesses while maintaining traditional craftsmanship. |
