By following the steps and incorporating the strategies provided in this guide, you can significantly improve your chances of succeeding in the CAT 2017 DILR section.
The CAT DILR section consists of a total of 24 questions, divided into four sets:
Each set presents a set of data or information, followed by multiple-choice questions that test your ability to analyze, interpret, and make inferences from the data.
Question 1:
A company sold a total of 1,500 units of Product A and 2,000 units of Product B. The selling price of Product A was 10% higher than the selling price of Product B. If the total revenue from selling both products was Rs. 63,000, what was the selling price of Product B?
Explanation:
Let the selling price of Product B be Rs. X.
Then, the selling price of Product A = Rs. 1.1X
Total revenue from Product A = 1,500 * 1.1X = 1,650X
Total revenue from Product B = 2,000 * X = 2,000X
Total revenue = 1,650X + 2,000X = 63,000
3,650X = 63,000
X = 63,000 / 3,650
X = Rs. 17.26
Therefore, the selling price of Product B was Rs. 17.26.
Question 2:
A survey found that 50% of people like mangoes, 30% like apples, and 20% like both mangoes and apples. What percentage of people like only mangoes or only apples?
Explanation:
Let the total number of people be 100.
Number of people who like mangoes = 50% of 100 = 50
Number of people who like apples = 30% of 100 = 30
Number of people who like both mangoes and apples = 20% of 100 = 20
Number of people who like only mangoes or only apples = (50 - 20) + (30 - 20) = 40
Therefore, 40% of people like only mangoes or only apples.
