CAT 2018 Slot 1 DILR · Question 4
A company administers a written test comprising of three sections of 20 marks each
– Data Interpretation (DI), Written English (WE) and General Awareness (GA), for recruitment. A
composite score for a candidate (out of 80) is calculated by doubling her marks in DI and adding
it to the sum of her marks in the other two sections. Candidates who score less than 70% marks
in two or more sections are disqualified. From among the rest, the four with the highest
composite scores are recruited. If four or less candidates qualify, all who qualify are
recruited.
Ten candidates appeared for the written test. Their marks in the test are
given in the table below:
