In 2024, the CAT exam\“s Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation （LRDI） slot 2 section introduced various questions focusing on Indian local products. For instance, one problem analyzed the sales data of traditional handicrafts from Rajasthan, such as handwoven textiles and pottery. These items are deeply rooted in India\“s cultural heritage and are popular among both domestic and international markets. The question required candidates to interpret graphs showing monthly sales trends and calculate profit margins based on raw material costs and selling prices.
Another LRDI set discussed the production and distribution of spices like turmeric and cardamom from Kerala. India is a leading producer of these spices, and the data involved supply chain logistics, export volumes, and seasonal fluctuations. Test-takers had to use logical reasoning to deduce optimal distribution routes and inventory management strategies, reflecting real-world business scenarios in India\“s local product sectors. |
