- C
is less than the number of cities whose name begin with a consonant of east of the meridian by 1.
- D
is less than the number of cities whose name begin with a consonant of east of the meridian by 2.
‘Cities’ implies that we need to refer to the ‘Capitals’ column while answering this question.
The number of cities whose names begin with a consonant and are in the Northern Hemisphere = 11
The number of cities whose names begin with a consonant and are in the Southern Hemisphere = 7
The number of cities whose names begin with a consonant and lie East of the meridian = 17
∴ The number of cities whose names begin with a consonant and are in the Northern Hemisphere exceed the cities whose names begin with a consonant and are in the Southern Hemisphere by 4.
Hence, option (a).
