Condition-based sets are one of the most frequently tested and challenging types in the Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning (DILR) section of CAT. These sets involve logic puzzles with constraints—often disguised in Seating Arrangements, Grouping, Matching, Scheduling, or Games & Tournaments formats.
Priya wants to have a sandwich for dinner. She decides to go to the mall from home and buy all the required ingredients. It takes her 15 minutes to travel from home to the mall and vice versa. The following table represents all the required ingredients and stores (within the mall) from which they can be bought:
Priya takes 15 minutes to select any ingredient. Once the items are selected, the time required to go from one store to another and to get the billing done is negligible. Priya reaches home at 8:30 PM, after buying all the ingredients and traveling back and forth in the minimum possible time. Also,
There are seven students (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) who have decide to read one book out of B1 – B7 and one novel out of N1 – N7 on each day of the week from Monday to Sunday.

Four friends A, B, C and D played a game of Poker. Initially, the number of chips that they had was in the 60s, 40s, 50s and 70s respectively, such that each one of them had a prime number of chips. They played 6 rounds of game such that the chips were only transferred among them. It is also known that:
Further, it is known that:
The percentage of marks of five students A, B, C, D and E in three subjects Physics, Chemistry and Maths are represented in the triangular graph above. For a subject, percentage is taken by first moving along that axis from the vertex marked 0 for that subject and stopping at the point where the student’s percentage in that subject first crosses that particular axis. The maximum marks in each subject are 200.
Correct Answer 1
52
Correct Answer 2
66.66
Correct Answer 3
40%
Correct Answer 4

A train starts at station 1 and goes to station 8 via six stations – 2 to 7 – in that order. At each of these six stations, twice as many people get in as those that get down. The number of people getting down at these six stations are all prime numbers – one each between 0 and 10, 10 and 20, and so on between 50 and 60, in the order of the stations given above. In these six stations, the difference between the number of people getting down at any two consecutive stations is at least ten. The number of people who got down at station 7 is more than 55. The total number of passengers getting down at all six stations together is an even number
7 friends P, Q, R, S, T, U, V parks their cars in a straight line, one behind the other. U’s car is always behind V’s. Q’s car touches P’s & T’s. R parks his car just behind T’s. S’s car and P’s car cannot be in the neighbouring positions. Consider that all the cars face the west.
