Core ConceptRead this first — the foundation of the topic
Core Concept
Mixed DI tests your ability to extract information from multiple visual formats and combine them to solve complex problems. Questions often require data from both graphs to reach the answer
Key Rules
Always read both graph titles and legends carefully. Identify what each axis represents. Note the units and scales used. Check if data represents absolute numbers, percentages, or ratios.
Look for common elements between both graphs like time periods, categories, or subjects.
Exam PatternsWhat examiners ask — read before attempting PYQs
SSC CGL typically asks 5 questions per set. Common question types include percentage calculations across graphs, ratio comparisons, finding averages, calculating differences, and trend analysis. Questions may ask for data from one graph only, but often require combining information from both.
ShortcutsUse these to save 30–60 seconds per question
Scan Method
Quickly scan both graphs to understand the relationship between them before reading questions

Unit Conversion Trick
When graphs have different units (thousands vs lakhs), convert to same unit immediately to avoid calculation errors
Worked ExampleSolve this step-by-step before moving on
1
Step 1
Extract production data for 2019 from Bar Chart = 60 thousand cars
2
Step 2
Extract export percentage for 2019 from Line Graph = 30%
Convert to required unit = 18 thousand cars
Answer: 18,000 cars or 18 thousand cars
Exam TrapsCommon mistakes students make — avoid these
Students often use data from wrong years, mix up absolute numbers with percentages, forget unit conversions, or use data from only one graph when both are required. Another frequent error is misreading scales or legends, especially when graphs use different scales.
Time Management: Spend 30 seconds understanding both graphs, then 90 seconds per question. Don't get stuck on complex calculations - use approximation when answer choices are far apart.
Key Points to Remember
Mixed DI combines two different graph types with related data themes
Always identify the relationship between both graphs before attempting questions
Check units and scales carefully - graphs may use different measurement units
Most questions require data from both graphs, not just one
Convert percentages to absolute numbers using: (Percentage × Total)/100
Read graph legends and axis labels completely to avoid misinterpretation
Use approximation when answer choices have significant gaps between them
Allocate 8-9 minutes total for 5 questions in mixed DI sets

8graded MCQs · easy to hard · full solution & trap analysis
Graph 1 shows the number of books sold by a shop in four months: January (80), February (120), March (100), April (140). Graph 2 shows the price per book in the same months: January (₹50), February (₹60), March (₹50), April (₹70). What is the total revenue generated in February and March combined?
Practice 2easy
Graph 1 displays the number of students enrolled in a coaching centre: Week 1 (200), Week 2 (250), Week 3 (300), Week 4 (280). Graph 2 shows the fee charged per student each week: Week 1 (₹500), Week 2 (₹500), Week 3 (₹600), Week 4 (₹600). In which week was the revenue maximum?
Practice 3easy
Graph 1 shows production of widgets (in units): Factory A (400), Factory B (600), Factory C (500), Factory D (300). Graph 2 shows the defect rate (percentage): Factory A (5%), Factory B (10%), Factory C (8%), Factory D (4%). How many defective widgets were produced in Factory B?
Practice 4medium
A factory has two production lines. Graph 1 shows units produced per month (Jan–Apr): Line A produces 500, 600, 700, 800 units. Graph 2 shows defect rate in percentage: Line A has 2%, 2%, 3%, 4% defects respectively. How many defect-free units did Line A produce in February?
Practice 5medium
Graph 1 shows revenue (in ₹ lakhs) for shops P and Q: P earns 10, 12, 14, 16 lakhs in quarters Q1–Q4. Graph 2 shows profit percentage: P has 20%, 25%, 20%, 25% profit margin respectively. What is the profit earned by shop P in Q3?
Practice 6medium
Two trains travel between cities. Graph 1 shows distance covered (in km) per hour: Train X covers 80, 90, 100, 110 km in hours 1–4. Graph 2 shows fuel consumption (liters per 100 km): Train X consumes 5, 4, 4, 5 liters per 100 km respectively. How much fuel did Train X consume in hour 2?
Practice 7medium
Graph 1 shows students enrolled in two schools over 4 years: School M has 400, 450, 500, 550 students in years 1–4. Graph 2 shows attendance percentage: School M has 80%, 85%, 90%, 88% attendance respectively. How many students attended School M in year 3?
Practice 8hard
Two graphs show data for a factory's production over 5 months. Graph 1 displays the number of units produced (in hundreds) each month: January 12, February 15, March 18, April 14, May 16. Graph 2 shows the percentage of defective units for each month: January 5%, February 8%, March 4%, April 10%, May 6%. What is the total number of defective units produced across all five months?
60-Second Revision — Mixed DI (2-graph sets)
Remember: Read both graph titles and establish the connection between datasets
Formula: Percentage to absolute = (Percentage × Base value)/100
Trap: Watch for different units between graphs - convert immediately
Strategy: Scan both graphs for 30 seconds before reading any question
Check: Verify which graph contains the data needed for each calculation step
Tip: Use elimination method when calculations become too complex
Time: Maximum 90 seconds per question, move on if stuck beyond this limit
