We need to find the total trade by P3 Total trade by P3 = total exports by P3 + total imports by P3. To find the total exports we will see the row of P3, those will be the total exports. While the imports will be the exports of others to P3, so if we see all the values of row of P3 then that will total up to his imports.
Total trade by P3 = (total exports) + (total imports)
= (17 + 9 + 15 + 7 + 24) + (40 + 35 + 28 + 53 + 57)
= 285
Now to find the total trade between P3 and P2 we will add the exports of P3 to P2 and exports of P2 to P3 (imports of P3 from P2). The value comes out to be = 9 + 35 = 44
As we know in a pie total angle is 360 de

Total satin cloth production = 20000 * 1500 = 30,000,000 metres
If only 80% production is then satin cloth = 24,000,000 metres
Out of this 30% production is exported = 7,200,000 metres.
So, total revenue will be now = Rs. 432,000,000
The revenue with full production is Rs. 540,000,000
Hence, there is a decrease of 20%.
Short cut method: If production decreases by x% then be it domestic or export the quantity will decrease by 20% as the both are a part of total production. And as price is constant so revenue change will be same as the production change.

If you are not ready for fall 2025, you can certainly think of applying for a subsequent intake. Most universities have more than one intake like spring or even summer depending on the course for DILR. It is always good to check with the particular universities you are applying to see if they have an alternative intake. You can also utilize this additional time to make your application stronger and be better prepared for admission.

The DILR section is mostly practice-based. There is not much theory-based or conceptual parts involved in the question unlike Quantitative Ability or Verbal Ability sections. Here, rather than focusing on the definitions of the topics, students get more accustomed to the question types and excel in the areas through practice.

No, DILR is not a combined section in all the MBA entrance exams. In some exams, the LR section is combined with DI, whereas in some exams DI is clubbed with Quantitative Analysis. For example, in CAT, DILR is a combined section, in XAT, the DI area is combined with Quantitative Ability and LR is combined with Verbal Ability.
The DILR section is also known as Decision Making, Data Analysis, Critical Reasoning, Logical Ability, Analytical Ability, etc. This section is named differently but comprises common topics such as Bar Graph, Line Chart, Tabular Form, Caselet Form, Pie Chart, Missing Data, etc.
