Question 6

Humidity in Mumbai was lowest in week ____________  

A. W3
B. W2
C. W5
D. W6

SOLUTION

Solution : A

To minimize the calculation, take baseline as 100. Make the table based on 100 as the bas evalue for both parameters in both cities. Taking W1=100, we can approximately calculate the values at all places.

Place and ParametersW1W2W3W4W5W6Delhi Temp100108111108106107Delhi Humidity100103101969395Mumbai Temp100110118122124124Mumbai Humudity10098959710298

Lowest value is W3=95. Hence answer option A.

Question 7

Temperature in Delhi was highest in week________

A. W1
B. W2
C. W3
D. Cannot be determined

SOLUTION

Solution : C

To minimize the calculation, take baseline as 100. Make the table based on 100 as the bas evalue for both parameters in both cities. Taking W1=100, we can approximately calculate the values at all places.

Question 8

What is the ratio of temperatures in Delhi to those in Mumbai in W2

A. 1.08:1.10
B. 1.134:1.166
C. 8:10
D. Indeterminate

SOLUTION

Solution : D

To minimize the calculation, take baseline as 100. Make the table based on 100 as the bas evalue for both parameters in both cities. Taking W1=100, we can approximately calculate the values at all places.

Place and ParametersW1W2W3W4W5W6Delhi Temp100108111108106107Delhi Humidity100103101969395Mumbai Temp100110118122124124Mumbai Humudity10098959710298

These are just a relative value and not the exact one. Hence answer option D

Question 9

A good week is one when temperature decreases by 3% or more & humidity doesn’t change by more than 5% over the previous week. For how many weeks did Delhi experience a ‘good week’?

A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Temperature decreases by 3% or more only in W4. For Delhi, humidity doesn’t change by more than 5% over the previous week only in W4. Hence answer = 1
