C AT exam syllabus for Data Interpretation
From the above-provided syllabus of the CAT exam, the CAT exam DILR syllabus contains cassettes
and tables. These cassettes contain data in the form of column charts, bar charts, Venn diagrams,
lines, and pie charts. We need to understand this data to solve the questions in the CAT exam.

To solve these questions, the data must be structured very intuitively so that the questions are solved.
In some questions, there will be variables that should not be touched on as they may be presented in
the questions. The only possible way to prepare for this DI section of the CAT exam is to solve as
many problems as possible.

C AT Syllabus for Logical Reasoning
Over the years the CAT syllabus for MBA has included topics for logical reasoning such as
arrangements, numbers and sequences, logical sequences, syllogisms, calendars, clocks and cubes,
and blood relations. Questions are usually a combination of other topics. As can be seen, the number
of topics for rationality is numerous and the combination can lead to very tricky compilations.

This may be one reason why CAT 2018 and CAT 2019 are considered to have difficult DILR sections.
Reasoning topics can lead to more complex sets when linked to each other. The main concern in
solving LR questions is not to solve them, but to solve them as quickly as possible. In this section,
solving a certain number of questions with the utmost accuracy will suffice to get a good percentage in
this section.
