Example - Red bars state wheat production state and Green bars states rice production.

Question - In which year percentage increase Wheat production was highest ?

As you can see there is increase of 5 tonnes in production both wheat and rice production every year. 

10% of 50 = 5

10% of 70 = 7

So answer should 2006.

In the above example you can find average of above number in just 5 seconds :-

7800 ( 14 +29 + 108 + 22 + 120/5 ) = 7800 + 58.6 = 7858.6

I always try to find answers by approximation, in my mind I calculated answer 7860. Try it yourself.

Solve the fractions quickly

Learn the value of fractions in percentages. Please read Time and work chapter in my previous post in which I explained via a table.

Faster calculations

Only thing that you require to score well in data interpretation questions is fast calculation. You can find multiplication tricks from my previous post.

Let's take an example :- How much 468 of 21428 ?

Let me make this simple for you.

1% of 21428 = 214
2% of 21428 = 428
0.1% of 21428 = 21

For me answer should be around 2.2%

There are many techniques which makes calculations easy. No teacher is going to teach techniques in the class. You need to learn them with practice.
