CAT 2004DILR Question 24

Mixed PracticeEasy
Passage / Data

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

Coach John sat with the score cards of Indian players from the 3 games in a one-day cricket tournament where the same set of players played for India and all the major batsmen got out. John summarized the batting performance through three diagrams, one for each game. In each diagram, the three outer triangles communicate the number of runs scored by the three top scorers from India, where K, R, S, V, and Y represent Kaif, Rahul, Saurav, Virender, and Yuvraj respectively. The middle triangle in each diagram denotes the percentage of total score that was scored by the top three Indian scorers in that game. No two players score the same number of runs in the same game. John also calculated two batting indices for each player based on his scores in the tournament; the R-index of a batsman is the difference between his highest and lowest scores in the 3 games while the M-index is the middle number, if his scores are arranged in a non-increasing order

How many players among those listed definitely scored less than Yuvraj in the tournament?

Answer & solution

  • A

    0

  • 1

  • C

    2

  • D

    More than 2

Solution

Y scored 127 in G1 and G3. V scored 130 in G1 itself.

K’s max score could be 28 + 51 + 48 = 127

R’s max score could be 49 + 55 + 22 = 126

S’s max score could be 75 + 50 + 22 = 147

∴ Only R definitely scored less than Y.

Hence, option (b).
