Ms Voyager was on her solo trip to Shimla. She boarded the local passenger bus called “Traveller” from “Summer Hill (SH)” stop and got off at “Old Shimla” (OS)”. In between there are five stations and she decided to take a note of the number of passengers who boarded and got off “Traveller”.
Also the price of ticket between two stations is equal to one plus the number of stations in between those two stations. For example the ticket price of one passenger from Summer Hill to the mall road is equal to Rs 3 and that of one passenger from Monkey Point to Old Shimla is Rs 5. When she got off the Traveller at Old Shimla Bus stand she had following information with her. Also no person got off the same stop at which he/she boarded.

In recent years, CAT DI questions have moved away from the traditional graphical representation to the tabular one. Furthermore, the concepts involved are usually very basic and typical. Below is one such example, based on simple concept, testing your ability to interpret the given data.
In township TG Town, a bus operator Veeta Volvos is planning to launch operations. They did some preliminary survey on the number of people availing bus services during any given 4-hour window of the day (provided in the table). Each Veeta Volvos bus needs one driver and can accommodate a maximum of 45 passengers at a time.
DILR section has become a game changing section in the CAT. In the last two years this section has been the most difficult of all the three sections. Here is a DI set which will give a sneak peek at what can be expected in the CAT. This set comprises Type in the Answer(TITA) questions that have been a recent addition to the CAT.
Directions of question 1 to 4:
The investors can invest in four mutual funds – ICICI, SBI, Kotak and HDFC, to buy stocks of these four companies. Not all the investors invested in the mutual funds every month but when they did, each person invested Rs.100 to any one of the four mutual funds in a month, not necessarily the same fund every month.
For each of the four funds, the number of people who invested in each of October, November and December was either equal to or one greater or one lesser than their corresponding numbers in the previous month. For example, if ‘n’ investors invested in the ICICI fund in October, then the number of investors who invested in the ICICI fund in November can be ‘n – 1’, or ‘n’ or ‘n + 1’.
Sitting arrangement is one of the popular topics of LRDI section for any competitive exam. The best thing about this topic is that you don’t need to apply any out of the box thinking but to process and write down all the information that is given to solve the questions. Sometimes you will feel that given information is not enough to complete the arrangements but remember your job is to solve the questions not to complete the arrangement.
Here I am giving you some sets of linear and circular arrangements, try to solve them and then match your answers with the given solution.
Direction for question number 1 to 4: Four couples A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H are sitting together on a bench facing towards north not necessarily in the same order. It is also known that
I. A,C,E,G are females who are sitting immediate left of their husbands.
II. G is sitting immediate right of H who is sitting three places away to the left of C.
III. A is sitting five places to the left of B who is sitting 3rd from extreme right.
Out of Context questions are known for their tendency to make you see identical stars (those in the picture are star sheep) in broad daylight!

Here, we are talking about one of the interesting topics in CAT-preparation (and all others MBA entrance tests also) i.e. Circular motion – a small but very important part of a broader topic: Time, Speed and Distance.
We are specifically focusing here on the meetings of the runners on a circular track (or any closed track for that matter). As we go on, I will post some questions and in the explanation I’ll discuss few important concepts that’ll remain with you at the end of this session.
