About Data Interpretation: Four Months of Household Expenses

CLAT's Quantitative Techniques section pairs a short data-rich scenario with several straightforward numeric questions -- here, a data interpretation table applied to a single invented family's monthly expenses, so every answer can be worked out from the figures given, without any outside knowledge.

This quiz is built around one expense record: a family's spending across four categories over four consecutive months, fully laid out up front. Every question below is answered using that same table -- nothing new is introduced question to question.

The twenty-four questions move through the kind of angles CLAT actually tests: individual and total figures, monthly and annual comparisons, percentages of the overall total, ratios between categories, averages, and a multi-statement combination question.

Only five of the twenty-four questions are shown on any single attempt, so replaying this quiz brings a genuinely different mix of angles on the same expense table rather than the same five memorised by rote.
