Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 19-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

Untimed

Every question on one page, loading as you scroll. Choose an option and see straight away whether it was right.

  • No timer. Nothing to start and nothing to submit. Stop whenever you like.
  • Answered as you choose. Tap an option and it is marked at once, with the correct answer shown.
  • Solutions in place. The explanation, and the video where one has been added, sit under the question.
  • Open to guests. Normal practice needs no sign-in.

Timed CBT

The computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.

  • A clock that does not pause. 19 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
  • Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
  • Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
  • Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.

About this test

PU MET 2026 Data Interpretation PYQ: Tables, Pie Charts and Graphs

This set has the Data Interpretation and Problem Solving questions from PU MET 2026, built on sales tables, twin pie charts, a line graph, paired bar graphs and a multi-column publishing table. It tests percentages, ratios, averages and growth rates read from data. Aptitude360 includes a worked solution for every question.

What the PU MET 2026 DI section tests

  • Tables: product sales across years, totals, year-on-year percentage change, highest growth
  • Pie charts: course-wise student shares combined with a separate girls' distribution, boy-girl ratios, matching counts
  • Line graph: percentage rise and fall in passed students, approximate averages over chosen years
  • Bar graphs: raw material investment compared with sales value, year-wise differences and ratios
  • Composite table: books published, academic to non-academic ratios, distribution percentages, books per distributor

Key formulas for data interpretation

  • Percentage change: \( \dfrac{\text{New}-\text{Old}}{\text{Old}}\times 100 \)
  • Part from a ratio a to b: \( \text{Total}\times\dfrac{a}{a+b} \)
  • Value from a pie share: \( \dfrac{x}{100}\times\text{Total} \)
  • Average: \( \dfrac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}} \)

Tips to solve DI sets faster

  • Read each chart's heading, units and its own total before any question, since one chart may cover all students and another only the girls.
  • Use approximation where options are well apart, and calculate exactly only when they are close.
  • In twin pie charts, find the girls first and subtract from the course total to get the boys.
  • Write ratio parts as fractions of the total before applying percentages.

Who will gain from this DI practice

It suits PU MET and other MBA entrance aspirants who know percentages and ratios and now want practice on real data sets.

FAQs about PU MET 2026 DI & Problem Solving Previous Year Questions with Detailed Solutions

How to calculate percentage increase in data interpretation
Subtract the old value from the new value, divide by the old value and multiply by hundred. Always divide by the starting value, not the later one.
How to solve pie chart questions quickly
Convert the needed percentage share into a value by multiplying it with the total. When two pie charts are linked, work out each sub-group from its own total before comparing.
How to split a total in a given ratio
Add the ratio terms, divide the total by this sum and multiply by the required term. This gives each part directly.
Is approximation allowed in data interpretation questions
Yes, approximation is a standard DI technique and many questions ask for approximate values. Round sensibly and calculate exactly only when the options are close together.
