XAT Dat
Data Interpretation
There were 4 DI sets � 2 sets on Tables, 1 case let and 1 on Bar diagram�with moderate difficulty level. Set 1: The Set with Bar diagram involving the production Soda Ash was lengthy and one particular question was ambiguous. But this set should have been attempted at any cost, because this was one of the easiest in this section and it contained 5 questions. Set 2: The Other set with the Cost and sales price of different food items produced by a sweetshop was also controversial in the sense that the line graphs given above the table had no apparent bearing with the given data. It had only 2 questions. Set 3: It involved a table depicting the sales, cost and leftover data of a cake manufacturing chain for the year 1993 to 2004. It had 4 questions out of which one of them was seemingly erroneous in which number of correct statements was to be identified. It involved bit of lengthy calculation but should have been attempted. Set 4: This set involved a production cost and sales data of a proposed 'pen drive' manufacturing unit. First two questions were on Break-even point and profit in different scenario. These two questions were manageable and should have been attempted. The last question in this set involved interest cost was ambiguous and probably erroneous as well. It did not mention any time frame for calculating the interest cost.
