From the table we can deduce the following:

 Rate of growth by each mode of transport in successive years as well as cumulative annual
growth.
 Rate of growth of total haulage by all modes of transport together in any year.
 Contribution by each mode of transport to the total haulage in any given year.
 Trends of growth over time for various modes of transport.
 Given the cost of transportation for each mode, we can calculate total annual cost of
transportation over the years of various modes of transport as well make a cost comparison.
 Finding out the mode of transportation in any given year that forms the largest percentage of
total haulage.
 For a given mode of transport, finding out the year in which the percentage increase in
haulage over the previous year was the highest.

From the above Time Table, we can obtain the following:

 Distance between various stations.
 Total idle time as a proportion of total travel time.
 Average speed between stations as well as over the entire journey.
  Minimum and maximum speeds of the between two stations.

PIE – CHARTS
This is probably the simplest of al pictorial forms of data presentation. Here, total quantity to be
shown is distributed over one complete circle or 360 degree. In pie-charts, data is essentially
presented with respect to only one parameter (unlike in two and 3-dimensional graphs described
later). This form essentially presents shares of various elements as proportion or percentage of the
total quantity. Each element or group in the pie-chart is represented in terms of quantity (or value, as
the case may be) or as the angle made by the sector representing the elements or as a proportion of the
total or as a percentage of the total.
Chart 1 gives distribution of the population in different geographical zones.

From the above pie chart, we can calculate the following:

 Population in any zone given the total population
 Population of any zone as a percentage of that of another zone
 Percentage increase in the total population given the percentage increase in the population of
one or more zones
Pie Charts are also very frequently used in combination with other forms of data or along with other
Pie-Charts.
TWO – DIMENSIONAL GRAPHS
CHART 2
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES OF INDIA

This is essentially used for continuous data but can also be used for depicting discrete data provided
we understand the limitation. Also known as Cartesian Graphs, they represent variation of one
parameter with respect to another parameter each shown on a different axis. These types of graphs are
useful in studying the rate of change or understanding the trends through extrapolations.
These graphs can be of various types and a few of them are shown below (Charts 2 to 4):
The graph in Chart 2 shows the changes in the foreign exchange reserves of our country during a
period of time. One can find out trends and the growth rates of foreign exchange reserves.
CHART 3
AUTOMOBILES IN INDIA
Chart 3 shows a cumulative type of graph (stacked graph). It gives more information than the previous
graph that you studies in Chart 2.
From the graph given in Chart 3, the relative proportion of different varieties of vehicles which
constitute the total can be obtained along with the trends and growth rates, percentage variation, actual
variations and trends for any period of time can be ascertained.
CHART 4
MOTION GRAPH OF Q1, Q2 AND Q3

Chart 4 presents another type of two-dimensional graph which is mostly used to depict scientific data
like speed, velocity, vectors etc,. In the graph speed trends of three bodies Q1, Q2 and Q3 is given
along with their actual path of motion.
BAR CHARTS
This is a type of graph used mostly to depict data in a discrete way. They are accurate and comparison
of variables is very convenient.
CHART 5
REFRIGERATOR SALES OF COMPANY ABC (000's OF UNITS)

Charts 5 shows model wise sales of refrigerators during four years. From this graph we can obtain the
following:
 Percentage contribution of each model to the company's total sales for four years.
 Relative increase or decrease in the share of each model.
 Sales trend of various models.
Using this bar chart one can carry out a detailed performance evaluation of the company with respect
to the sales of the four year period 1988 to 1991 for any given model. These bar charts can also be
depicted horizontally. Another variation could be showing each product at one place (rather than each
year at one place).
THREE – DIMENSIONAL GRAPH
 CHART 6

The data (parameters) in a triangular graph are given on each side of the triangle. Each point
represents a particular parameter in terms of the percentage, the same represents.
This graph represents the percentage of students who like the three Colas – Pepsi, Thums up and Coke
in three colleges A, B and C.
VENN – DIAGRAMS
You must be familiar with the concept of sets. Data is represented in the form of Venn – Diagrams
when operations have to be carried out on different distinct sets of elements each following a different
functional rule. All the elements in a set follow the same functional rule. By Set Union and
Intersection operations, you can establish new sets from the existing sets.
For example (Chart 7) consider three of the courses Physics, Chemistry, Maths offered to B.Sc.
students of various groups.
CHART 7

Pert Charts
The word PERT stands for "Project Evaluation and Review Techniques". The progress of any project
is monitored and the execution of various activities is scheduled keeping in mind resource constraints
(like labour) and time constraints. For the purpose of data interpretation questions, the data may be
given in the form of a table or a chart.

CHAPTER – 32 DATA SUFFICIENCY

In this topic we are going to discuss the concept of data sufficiency. As the name suggest basically we
have to check that whether the given information given in forms of statements (may be 2 or more) is
sufficient to solve the problem given before the statements.
Important point to notice is that we are asked not to solve the problem, but only to check which
statement is required in solving that problem. May be only 1 st statement alone or 2nd statement alone ,
may be either one of two , may be both and at last may be that even both is not sufficient to solve the
problem. But again we should remember we are asked not to solve the problem but to check which
statement we need to solve the problem.
Now we are going to understand the concept of data sufficiency with the help of some examples.
For the below examples using the data given in statements choose the option
A] if Statement (i) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (ii) alone is not sufficient.
B] if Statement (ii) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (i) alone is not sufficient.
C] if BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is
sufficient.
D] if EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
E] if Statements (i) and (ii) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Example1: Is x an even number?
Statements:
i) (x+x)/2 is even integer
ii) (x+x+x)/2 is even integer
In this problem we have to check whether x is even or not.
In first statement we get (x+x)/2 is even i.e. x is even and hence we find the answer of problem that
yes x is even. So first statement alone is sufficient to solve the problem.
In second statement we get (x+x+x)/2 is even i.e. x must be muntiple of four and hence we find the
answer of problem that yes x is even. So second statement alone is sufficient to solve the problem.
Which means that we can solve the problem with any of the statement given and hence the option D is
correct.
Example 2: How long does it take B to finish the job alone?
Statements:
i) A and B together finish the job in 6 days
ii) A need 10 days to finish the job alone
In this problem in first statement we get 1/A +1/B = 1/6. Which means its not possible to find B until
A is known and hence only first statement is not sufficient to answer the above problem.
In second statement we get A = 10 days . So second statement alone is not sufficient to solve the
problem. But with the help of both the statement we can find our B i.e. 1/10 +1/B = 1/6 and hence
both statement is needed to solve the problem therefore option C is correct.
Example 3: In a straight road how far is A from C?
Statements:
i) C is 37 km from B.
ii) A is 56 km from B.
In this problem A can be anywhere between (56-37) km and (56 + 37) km from C. Hence even both
the statement together is not sufficient to solve the problem therefore option E is correct.
Example 4: A and B are the numbers, which weight more, A feathers or B stones?
Statements:
i) A = 700 B
ii) 2 pounds = A feathers = B stones
In this problem in first statement A may be greater number than B, then question asked is abt weight
not number hence only first statement is not sufficient to answer the above problem.
In second statement clearly we found the answer that both have equal weights. So second statement
alone is sufficient to solve the problem. option B is correct.
Example 5: What is the value of integer x 2− y 2 ?
Statements:
i) x–y=0
ii) x+y=3
In this problem in first statement x – y = 0 which makes x 2− y 2 also zero. hence only first statement
is sufficient to answer the above problem.
In second statement x + y = 3 but still value of x – y is required and hence second statement alone is
not sufficient to solve the problem. option A is correct.

This data sufficiency problem consists of a question and two statements, labelled (1) and (2), in which
certain data are given. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for
answering the question. Using the data given in the statements, plus your knowledge of mathematics
and everyday facts (such as the number of days in a leap year or the meaning of the word counter
clockwise), you must indicate whether

A> Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the
question asked.
B> Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the
question asked.
C> BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but
NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
D> EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
E> Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and
additional data specific to the problem are needed.
