Here’s a structured analysis and solution guide for DILR 2019 Slot 2 (Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning) based on common patterns in Indian competitive exams like CAT. Since I don’t have the exact 2019 Slot 2 questions, I’ll outline a typical DILR paper structure and provide sample problems with solutions in English, reflecting common themes:

Sample DI Question & Solution
Question 1: Bar Graph Analysis
Data: Sales of two companies (A & B) over 5 years (2015–2019).
Graph Features:
Company A’s sales peak in 2017.
Company B’s sales grow consistently.
Total sales in 2019: ₹120 Cr.
Question:
Which year saw the highest ratio of Company A’s sales to Company B’s sales?
Solution:
Identify Key Data:
Calculate A/B ratio for each year.
Use formula: Ratio = Sales of A / Sales of B.
Compute Values (Hypothetical Data):
2015: A=30, B=40 → 0.75
2016: A=35, B=45 → ~0.78
2017: A=50, B=50 → 1.0
2018: A=45, B=55 → ~0.82
2019: A=40, B=80 → 0.5
Answer: 2017 (Ratio = 1.0).
Sample LR Question & Solution
Question 2: Seating Arrangement
Statement:
8 people (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W) sit around a circular table.
T sits opposite P.
Q is next to R but not adjacent to S.
U and V are neighbors.
W sits between S and T.
Question:
Who is sitting between U and V?
Solution:
Draw a Circular Diagram:
Place T and P opposite each other.
W is between S and T → S-W-T-P (clockwise).
U and V are neighbors.
Q and R are adjacent, not next to S.
Fill Positions:
Remaining seats: Q, R, U, V.
Q and R must be adjacent but not next to S (who is at position 3).
Assign Q and R to positions 5 and 6.
U and V to positions 7 and 8.
Answer: U and V are neighbors, so the person between them depends on their arrangement. If U-V, then no one; but likely Q or R based on constraints.
Key Tips for DILR 2019 Slot 2
DI:
Focus on units (e.g., % vs. absolute values).
Use approximations for quick calculations (e.g., 17% ≈ 1/6).
Check for traps like "total vs. individual" comparisons.
LR:
Mime the statements into diagrams or tables.
Look for contradictions (e.g., "not adjacent" vs. "sitting together").
Use process of elimination in puzzles.
Answer Key (Hypothetical)
DI Question: 2017
LR Question: Q (if U-V-Q-R) or R (if V-U-R-Q).
