Master DI Tables for CAT 2026 with practice questions and detailed explanations
Table-Based DI Sets
Tables are one of the most common DI formats, and nearly every CAT includes a set with data in table form.
- CAT 2017:
- Slot 1: “Matrix” DI (moderate)
- Slot 2: Dormitory table (moderate)
- CAT 2018 Slot 1: N×N matrix DI (moderate)
- CAT 2019 Slot 2: Table of “Rainfall” data (moderate)
- CAT 2021: Round-robin soccer table with missing values (table caselet)
- CAT 2023 Slot 1: Table with missing sales figures (moderate difficulty)
Key Insights:
- Table-based DI sets appear essentially every year.
- Usually, 1 table set per slot when slots are independent.
- Tests involve basic calculations like sums, differences, percentages across the table.
- Difficulty may arise from missing data, requiring logical deduction (as seen in 2021 and 2023).
- Expect at least one table-based set (4 questions) per CAT focused on interpreting tabular data.

XYZ organization got into the business of delivering groceries to home at the beginning of the last month. They have a two-day delivery promise. However, their deliveries are unreliable. An order booked on a particular day may be delivered the next day or the day after. If the order is not delivered at the end of two days, then the order is declared as lost at the end of the second day. XYZ then does not deliver the order, but informs the customer, marks the order as lost, returns the payment and pays a penalty for non-delivery.
The following table provides details about the operations of XYZ for a week of the last month. The first column gives the date, the second gives the cumulative number of orders that were booked up to and including that day. The third column represents the number of orders delivered on that day. The last column gives the cumulative number of orders that were lost up to and including that day. It is known that the numbers of orders that were booked on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of the last month that took two days to deliver were 4, 6, and 8 respectively.
