Before solving the first question of a CAT DILR caselet, the BEST move is:

  1. Memorise all numbers from the story
  2. Skip the setup and start question 1
  3. Convert the story into a structured table
  4. Set up algebraic equations for question 1
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Convert the story into a structured table

A caselet's story hides a table. Building the table first turns 4-6 questions into quick table look-ups, instead of re-reading the story every question.
