• Data Interpretation
Data and Interpretation is a major part of Quantitative Aptitude Section of all the banking examinations, be it IBPS or SBI Exams. More than one-fourth of the total questions asked in the Quantitative Aptitude Section of IBPS RRB Prelims Examination are based on DI. We hope now you know how important it is not to give a cold shoulder to this topic. The usual pattern of DI questions has always been based on Ratio and Proportion, Percentage, Average, and Profit and Loss, but in the recent times, we observed a change in the pattern when DI questions asked were based on Time and Work and a few more topics from Arithmetic. So, be well prepared with these topics so as to deal with DIs with poise. The other important job is to be excellent at calculation because all that you need to do in DI is calculation and if you lag here, this section can prove to be a can of worms for you.
