The basic idea that operates behind these questions is to give viewers a glimpse of the data and reasoning section of the CAT exam and also to improve students who are weak in data and reasoning. All the questions discussed are very selective from previous year CAT, XAT, IIFT and SNAP exams.

The questions asked in the CAT DILR section require critical and decision-making skills. If we talk separately, logical reasoning (LR) questions can be answered by analyzing the information that is provided.

Whereas, Data Interpretation (DI) will consist of such questions that have to be attempted step by step.

Data Interpretation is the section that consists of charts and tables, myriad of graphs, from which candidates will have to analyse and glean data. The key to crack data interpretation is to quickly identify the key pieces of the data given in the question.

The data interpretation questions may seem lengthy but the key to solving these questions is to identify the important pieces of data and approach the question in a step-by-step process. Charts, Venn diagrams, myriad graphs, tables, etc. usually dominate the data interpretation section. Aspirants can use the following strategy to solve data interpretation questions: Familiarity, Conditions, Reasoning, Sequence of Solutions.
