Over the last few years, Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation (LR-DI) has become the most grueling yet important section of the CAT examination. The reason why the focus on this section is ever-increasing is the shared annoyance for it by students of all streams. Hence, this spotlight is expected to remain.
