CAT 2004 — DILR Question 1

Let us denote University 1 as U₁, University 2 as U₂ and so on.

Consider day 3. 2 students from UK and 1 student from USA visited the homepage. Also, 2 and 1 student from U₄ and U₆ respectively visited the homepage.

∴ U₄ is in UK and U₆ is in USA. Similarly, considering day 2, U₃ is in Netherlands and U₈ is in India.

Canada has 2, 0 and 0 visitors on days 1, 2 and 3 and so have U₂ and U₇. ∴ One of U₂ and U₇ is in Canada.

UK has 2, 0 and 2 visitors on days 1, 2 and 3 and we know that U₄ is in UK. But as U₄ has 0 visitors on day 1, we can say that either U₂ or U₇ is in UK. (If we assume that UK has three of the eight listed universities, U₄, U₁ and U₅, then considering the number of visitors on day 1, we do not find appropriate universities for India and Netherlands.)

Similarly, considering India and Netherlands, U₅ and U₁ will be in these countries. Thus, we have the following table.

​​​​​​​

∴ University 1 can belong to Netherlands or India.

Hence, option (c).
