Section 3: Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation

Section 3: Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation

The section had most of the questions falling under moderate-difficult level. The questions on Probability, Mensuration, Geometry (courier agent), the three DI sets (Table, Scatter Plot, Caselet/Venn Diagram), etc were the ones that added extra spice to the section that was already hot to handle!

The QADI section was both higher in difficulty level and lengthier compared to the last year's section.

The topic wise break-up of the questions is as below:

Topics No. of questions Difficulty
Simple Equations 3 Moderate
Time and Distance 2 Moderate
SI/CI 1 Moderate
Probability 1 Difficult
Numbers 2 Moderate
Geometry 2 Moderate-Difficult
Mensuration 1 Difficult
Clocks 1 Moderate
Functions 1 Moderate
1 Moderate
Inequalities 1 Difficult
Cubes 1 Difficult
Trigonometry 1 Moderate
Caselet/Venn Diagram (First time users; Men/Women; Happy/Neutral/Unhappy) 3 Difficult
Scatter Diagram (BMI of 20 patients) 3 Difficult
Table (rating of projects; team leaders) 3 Difficult
Miscellaneous 1 Difficult
Total 28

With the section being a couple of notches lengthier and difficult as compared to last year's section, the number of attempts is bound to take a nosedive.

The cut-off in this section for general category is expected to be around 8 marks for BM (Male candidates) and 7 marks for HRM (Male candidates).
