CAT 2025 Slot 2 DILR Questions with Solutions

DILR Set - 1: Read the following information carefully and answer the five questions that follow.

Ananya Raga, Bhaskar Tala, Charu Veena, and Devendra Sur are four musicians. Each of them started and completed their training as students under each of the three Gurus — Pandit Meghnath, Ustad Samiran, and Acharya Raghunath - between 2013 and 2024, including both the years. Each Guru trains any student for consecutive years only, for a span of 2, 3, or 4 years, with each Guru having a different span.

During some of these years, a student may not have trained under one of these Gurus; however, they never trained under multiple Gurus in the same year.

In none of these years, any of the four Gurus trained more than two of these students at the same time. When two students train under the same Guru at the same time, they are referred to as Gurubhai, irrespective of their gender.

The following additional facts are known:

Ustad Samiran never trained more than one of these students in the same year.
Acharya Raghunath did not train any of these students during 2015–2018, as well as during 2021–2024.
