Question

The bar chart gives the batting averages of VK and RS for 11 calendar years from 2012 to 2022. Considering that 2015 and 2019 are world cup years, which one of the following options is true?

Correct answer (C) VK’s yearly batting average is consistently higher than that of RS between the two world cup years. Solution To determine the correct statement, we analyze the bar chart for the specified years: 1. World Cup Years: 2015 and 2019. In 2015: VK (solid bar) > RS (patterned bar). In 2019: RS (patterned bar) appears slightly higher than or equal to VK (solid bar). This makes options (A) and (B) incorrect or uncertain. 2. Between World Cup Years (2016, 2017, 2018): In 2016: VK > RS In 2017: VK > RS In 2018: VK > RS In all three years between the world cups, VK's batting average is consistently higher than RS's. This confirms option (C) is true. 3. Last Three Years (2020, 2021, 2022): In 2020: RS > VK In 2021: VK > RS In 2022: RS > VK Since RS is not higher in every year (specifically 2021), option (D) is false. Therefore, the correct option is (C). Turn this into a strength. Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.
