Thank you so much ... Trust me the moment you segmented the plot into 4 categories, it was an eureka moment for me!! Just that small improvisation made it so helpful🤩

[akshitgulati]

the question was nice but should it be attempted in the mean its very difficult to keep track of the products without labelling them in diagram

[shreyasbhanji]

😱😱😱my reaction when u drew those quadrants...made the sum so much simpler

[diwakarchaurasia]

You solved it so gracefully...Loved it!

[samyakjain]

First Reaction 1) Two sets are combined into one 2) Finding number of products of alpha bravo, chilli 3)category they belong to 4) revenue .Hard set to understand easy to solve

[kaushal_ag]

Based on the solution, Alfa and Charlie is not having the same revenue which is one condition to be satisfied. Don’t know why i am not getting it same

Sir how are we supposed to do these type of ques in exam (CAT2022) as there is alot of data and graph and we have just blank paper, it will be too time consuming to put all of this on paper and then solve .

[Kaushalkhatri]

Hi Sir, this became easier as you had graph on which you can work and write on, but when in test we have it on screen, how to do it without having to draw the graph?

[varshithreddy]

In a exam scenario should this question be attempted ?
