SOLUTION

Solution : D

At the end of the tournament we have the following resut:-
$\begin{matrix} P L A Y E R & S C O R E K r a m n i k & 14 T o p a l o v & 9 S h i r o v & 8 L e k o & 9 P o l g a r & 11 A n a n d & 17 \end{matrix}$
From the table it is clear that Anand is the winner. We calculate the points using the relation, 3*No. of mathches won+2*No. of matches draw+1*No. of matches lost.

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.
$\begin{matrix} P l a c e a n d P a r a m e t e r s & W 1 & W 2 & W 3 & W 4 & W 5 & W 6 D e l h i T e m p & 100 & 108 & 111 & 108 & 106 & 107 D e l h i H u m i d i t y & 100 & 103 & 101 & 96 & 93 & 95 M u m b a i T e m p & 100 & 110 & 118 & 122 & 124 & 124 M u m b a i H u m u d i t y & 100 & 98 & 95 & 97 & 102 & 98 \end{matrix}$
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.
$\begin{matrix} P l a c e a n d P a r a m e t e r s & W 1 & W 2 & W 3 & W 4 & W 5 & W 6 D e l h i T e m p & 100 & 108 & 111 & 108 & 106 & 107 D e l h i H u m i d i t y & 100 & 103 & 101 & 96 & 93 & 95 M u m b a i T e m p & 100 & 110 & 118 & 122 & 124 & 124 M u m b a i H u m u d i t y & 100 & 98 & 95 & 97 & 102 & 98 \end{matrix}$

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.
$\begin{matrix} P l a c e a n d P a r a m e t e r s & W 1 & W 2 & W 3 & W 4 & W 5 & W 6 D e l h i T e m p & 100 & 108 & 111 & 108 & 106 & 107 D e l h i H u m i d i t y & 100 & 103 & 101 & 96 & 93 & 95 M u m b a i T e m p & 100 & 110 & 118 & 122 & 124 & 124 M u m b a i H u m u d i t y & 100 & 98 & 95 & 97 & 102 & 98 \end{matrix}$
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

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

D. 3

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Take it as 100, the value will make a difference, the conditions hold good for week 4 and 6 only in both cases.

Hence, option (c)
