Read the following and answer the Questions that follow

Aurevia, Brelosia, Cyrenia and Zerathania are four countries with their currencies being Aurels, Brins, Crowns, and Zentars, respectively. The currencies have different exchange values. Crown’s currency exchange rate with Zentars is 0.50.50.5, i.e., 1 Crown is worth 0.5 Zentars.

Three travelers, Jano, Kira, and Lian set out from Zerathania visiting exactly two of the countries. Each country is visited by exactly two travelers. Each traveler has a unique Flight Cost, which represents the total cost of airfare in traveling to both the countries and back to Zerathania. The Flight Cost of Jano was 4000 Zentars, while that of the other two travelers were 5000 and 6000 Zentars, not necessarily in that order. When visiting a country, a traveler spent either 1000, 2000 or 3000 in the country’s local currency. Each traveler had different spends (in the country’s local currency) in the two countries he/she visited. Across all the visits, there were exactly two spends of 1000 and exactly one spend of 3000 (in the country’s local currency).

The total “Travel Cost” for a traveler is the sum of his/her Flight Cost and the money spent in the countries visited.

The citizens of the four countries with knowledge of these travels made a few observations, with spends measured in their respective local currencies: i. Aurevia citizen: Jano and Kira visited our country, and their Travel Costs were 3500 and 8000, respectively. ii. Brelosia citizen: Kira and Lian visited our country, spending 2000 and 3000, respectively. Kira’s Travel Cost was 4000. iii. Cyrenia citizen: Lian visited our country and her Travel Cost was 36000.

Passage 20 · CAT2024Slot1_DILR3 · 1 Questions

Read the following and answer the Questions that follow

Two students, Amiya and Ramya are the only candidates in an election for the position of class representative. Students will vote based on the intensity level of Amiya’s and Ramya’s campaigns and the type of campaigns they run. Each campaign is said to have a level of 1 if it is a staid campaign and a level of 2 if it is a vigorous campaign. Campaigns can be of two types, they can either focus on issues, or on attacking the other candidate.

If Amiya and Ramya both run campaigns focusing on issues, then
• The percentage of students voting in the election will be 20 times the sum of the levels of campaigning of the two students. For example, if Amiya and Ramya both run vigorous campaigns, then 20×(2+2)%20 \times (2+2)\%20×(2+2)%, that is, 80%80\%80% of the students will vote in the election.
• Among voting students, the percentage of votes for each candidate will be proportional to the levels of their campaigns. For example, if Amiya runs a staid (i.e., level 1) campaign while Ramya runs a vigorous (i.e., level 2) campaign, then Amiya will receive 13\dfrac{1}{3}31​ of the votes cast, and Ramya will receive the other 23\dfrac{2}{3}32​.

The above-mentioned percentages change as follows if at least one of them runs a campaign attacking their opponent.
• If Amiya runs a campaign attacking Ramya and Ramya runs a campaign focusing on issues, then 10% of the students who would have otherwise voted for Amiya will vote for Ramya, and another 10% who would have otherwise voted for Amiya, will not vote at all.
• If Ramya runs a campaign attacking Amiya and Amiya runs a campaign focusing on issues, then 20% of the students who would have otherwise voted for Ramya will vote for Amiya, and another 5% who would have otherwise voted for Ramya, will not vote at all.
• If both run campaigns attacking each other, then 10% of the students who would have otherwise voted for them had they run campaigns focusing on issues, will not vote at all.

Aurevia, Brelosia, Cyrenia and Zerathania are four countries with their currencies being Aurels, Brins, Crowns, and Zentars, respectively. The currencies have different exchange values. Crown’s currency exchange rate with Zentars is 0.50.50.5, i.e., 1 Crown is worth 0.5 Zentars.

Three travelers, Jano, Kira, and Lian set out from Zerathania visiting exactly two of the countries. Each country is visited by exactly two travelers. Each traveler has a unique Flight Cost, which represents the total cost of airfare in traveling to both the countries and back to Zerathania. The Flight Cost of Jano was 4000 Zentars, while that of the other two travelers were 5000 and 6000 Zentars, not necessarily in that order. When visiting a country, a traveler spent either 1000, 2000 or 3000 in the country’s local currency. Each traveler had different spends (in the country’s local currency) in the two countries he/she visited. Across all the visits, there were exactly two spends of 1000 and exactly one spend of 3000 (in the country’s local currency).

The total “Travel Cost” for a traveler is the sum of his/her Flight Cost and the money spent in the countries visited.

The citizens of the four countries with knowledge of these travels made a few observations, with spends measured in their respective local currencies: i. Aurevia citizen: Jano and Kira visited our country, and their Travel Costs were 3500 and 8000, respectively. ii. Brelosia citizen: Kira and Lian visited our country, spending 2000 and 3000, respectively. Kira’s Travel Cost was 4000. iii. Cyrenia citizen: Lian visited our country and her Travel Cost was 36000.

Passage 24 · CAT2024Slot1_DILR3 · 1 Questions

Read the following and answer the Questions that follow

Two students, Amiya and Ramya are the only candidates in an election for the position of class representative. Students will vote based on the intensity level of Amiya’s and Ramya’s campaigns and the type of campaigns they run. Each campaign is said to have a level of 1 if it is a staid campaign and a level of 2 if it is a vigorous campaign. Campaigns can be of two types, they can either focus on issues, or on attacking the other candidate.

If Amiya and Ramya both run campaigns focusing on issues, then
• The percentage of students voting in the election will be 20 times the sum of the levels of campaigning of the two students. For example, if Amiya and Ramya both run vigorous campaigns, then 20×(2+2)%20 \times (2+2)\%20×(2+2)%, that is, 80%80\%80% of the students will vote in the election.
• Among voting students, the percentage of votes for each candidate will be proportional to the levels of their campaigns. For example, if Amiya runs a staid (i.e., level 1) campaign while Ramya runs a vigorous (i.e., level 2) campaign, then Amiya will receive 13\dfrac{1}{3}31​ of the votes cast, and Ramya will receive the other 23\dfrac{2}{3}32​.

The above-mentioned percentages change as follows if at least one of them runs a campaign attacking their opponent.
• If Amiya runs a campaign attacking Ramya and Ramya runs a campaign focusing on issues, then 10% of the students who would have otherwise voted for Amiya will vote for Ramya, and another 10% who would have otherwise voted for Amiya, will not vote at all.
• If Ramya runs a campaign attacking Amiya and Amiya runs a campaign focusing on issues, then 20% of the students who would have otherwise voted for Ramya will vote for Amiya, and another 5% who would have otherwise voted for Ramya, will not vote at all.
• If both run campaigns attacking each other, then 10% of the students who would have otherwise voted for them had they run campaigns focusing on issues, will not vote at all.

About CAT 2025 Slot 3 DILR

The DILR section of CAT 2025 Slot 3 was conducted on November 30, 2025, the last Sunday of November — consistent with IIM's scheduling across all recent years. The section contains 24 questions to be answered in 40 minutes, carrying 72 marks in total. There is no sectional time limit within the overall exam, but students choosing to switch sections mid-paper lose the ability to return — making pacing within DILR critical.

Passage Topics in CAT 2025 Slot 3 DILR

CAT 2025 Slot 3 DILR featured four reading comprehension passages and a standalone Verbal Ability block. The RC passages spanned complexity theory and global systems, the aesthetics of electronic music, the economics of income inequality, and the legal history of criminal responsibility — a typical CAT spread across the sciences, humanities, and social sciences. The VA section included Para Jumbles, Para Summary, and Odd Sentence Out questions, consistent with the pattern since CAT 2019.

CAT 2025 DILR Marking Scheme

  • Correct answer (MCQ): +3 marks
  • Wrong answer (MCQ): −1 mark
  • Unattempted (MCQ): 0 marks
  • TITA questions (if any): +3 correct, no negative marking

How to Use This Question Paper

Click any answer option to immediately check your answer. The correct option is highlighted in green; if you selected the wrong option, it is shown in red and the correct answer is revealed. A detailed explanation appears below each question after you answer it, along with statistics showing what percentage of students answered correctly in the actual exam.

The question navigator at the top of the page updates in real time — green bubbles indicate correct answers and red indicate wrong. Use this to spot weak areas at a glance. To practice under timed conditions, use the Take Full Mock button to attempt the complete CAT 2025 Slot 3 paper with a live timer and percentile benchmarking.

Tips for CAT DILR Preparation

Reading Comprehension accounts for roughly two-thirds of the DILR section. The passages in CAT are dense and argumentative — they reward close reading of the author's position rather than skimming for facts. Practising on past papers is the most reliable way to calibrate your reading speed, improve inference accuracy, and recognise the types of questions IIM setters favour. Use the answer statistics on this page to benchmark yourself; questions where more than 50% of test-takers answered correctly are ones you should aim to get right every time.
