Topic- Data Interpretation Practice Series #02 Your Score:-___________

Important points to solve Data Interpretation

Spend at least 1 min on direction and graph of DI.
Always use approximation for calculations.
All questions of a DI graph are not at same LOD so always check all questions, do not decide LOD of a DI by one or
two questions.
When you attempt any new type of DI, give it enough time to solve. When you are familiar with different types of
graphs it will take less time.
DI needs concentration otherwise silly mistakes come into the solutions.
Number of Questions: 51
Directions(Q.1 – Q.5): Study the data given below to answer these questions.
