Sample Questions & Solutions
1. DI Question: Table Analysis
Data Table
| Month | Sales (In Crores) | Profit Margin (%) |
|-------|-------------------|-------------------|
| Jan | 45 | 18 |
| Feb | 52 | 20 |
| Mar | 60 | 22 |
| Apr | 48 | 19 |
| May | 55 | 21 |
Question:
Which month had the highest ratio of Profit to Sales?
Solution:
Jan: (18/45) = 0.4
Feb: (20/52) ≈ 0.385
Mar: (22/60) ≈ 0.367
Apr: (19/48) ≈ 0.396
May: (21/55) ≈ 0.382
Answer: January (0.4)
2. LR Question: Seating Arrangement
Statement:
8 people (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) are seated around a circular table. Conditions:
A sits between B and C.
D and E are opposite each other.
F is next to G but not adjacent to H.
Question:
Who is seated between E and H?
Solution:
Draw a circle. Place D and E opposite each other (e.g., D at top, E at bottom).
A must be between B and C. Place B and C on either side of A.
F and G are adjacent but not next to H. Place F-G between C and D, leaving H opposite G.
Final arrangement (clockwise): B-A-C-F-G-D-E-H.
Answer: G
Proven Strategies
DI Tips:
Calculate ratios/percentages step-by-step to avoid errors.
For caselets, map relationships to flowcharts.
LR Tips:
Simplify blood relations using family tree diagrams.
Test seating arrangements with dry runs for different starting points.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
DI: Forgetting to convert units (e.g.,crores to lakh).
LR: Misinterpreting "opposite" vs. "adjacent" in circular arrangements.
Final Takeaways
Practice 30+ DI-LR questions daily to improve speed.
Use answer keys to identify weak areas (e.g., syllogisms).
Time yourself for DI sets (15-20 minutes per 5 questions).
Good luck with CAT 2022 Slot 2!
