Arithmetic Data Interpretation – MBA CUET PG – Notes & Practice Questions

Arithmetic DI are the type of representation in which the values of variables are represented in proportion with the distances with respect to a central point. This Graph is based on Arithmetic Concepts like Time and Distance, Profit and Loss, Time and Work, Boat ad Stream, Sl and C1, Boat and Stream, Mensuration and other topics. These are very important as in the recent Examinations we have seen these types of Di being asked frequently.

A key point to solve any Arithmetic DI is that to understand what had been given in DI. Then consider these as an individual separate questions from arithmetic, also these questions are way easier. Now let us consider example:

Look carefully, here a % graph is given and nothing have been mentioned.

Examiner may mention it “% of distance covered by these (A, B, C, D & E) individuals in 1 hour and total distance is 100 km OR

% of work done by individuals in given time” OR

“Profit/loss % earned on selling these items for shopkeeper”

“Interest rate given by a bank to different individuals” or many other things.
