Table Chart: Shortcuts & Tricks | Quantitative Techniques for CLAT PDF Download

Tips and Tricks 

The points given below helps in solving table chart solutions : 

• Do not describe all the data presented – present the main points of each feature (you should make sure you mention each feature though)
• Look for significant data; e.g. the highest, the lowest etc
• Try and group the data.  This may require you to use some general knowledge about the world, such as recognizing developed and developing countries

Step by Step guide to solve Table chart

• Understand the Table Structure: Begin by carefully examining the table’s structure. Identify column headers, row labels, and any subheadings or categories.
• Read the Questions First: Before diving into the table, read the questions associated with it. This will guide your focus and help you identify what specific information you need to extract or analyze.
• Skim the Table: Start with a quick scan of the entire table to get a general sense of its content. Note any patterns, trends, or outliers that catch your eye during this initial scan.
• Identify Relevant Rows and Columns: Once you’ve read the questions, pinpoint the rows and columns in the table that are directly related to the information required to answer those questions.
• Focus on Key Values: Concentrate on the key values, numbers, or data points that directly address the questions. Avoid getting bogged down by irrelevant information.
• Apply Filtering and Sorting: If the table is extensive, consider using filters or sorting features (if available) to narrow down the data or organize it in a way that facilitates your analysis.
• Calculate and Summarize: If the questions involve calculations or summarizations (e.g., averages, totals, percentages), perform these operations systematically. Double-check your calculations to ensure accuracy.

Examples

Classification of 100 Students Based on the Marks Obtained by them in Physics and Chemistry in an Examination.

Q1: If at least 70% marks in Physics are required for pursuing higher studies in Physics, how many students will be eligible to pursue higher studies in Physics?
(a) 27
(b) 32
(c) 34
(d) 41
Ans: b
Sol:
We have 70% of 50  

⟹ Required number

= No. of students scoring 35 and above marks in Physics

= 32

Sol: Total number scored by 3 students in Chem = 193.

Correct Option is (C)

(a) 456
(b) 477
(c) 487
(d) 507
Ans:
Sol:

= 109.5 + 120 + 105 + 45 + 48.75 + 48.75
= 477
