Question

Directions: Coach Johan sat with the scorecards 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 go out. John summarised the batting performance through three figures, one for each game. In each figure, the three outer triangles communicate the number of runs scored by the three top scorers from India. 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.

Solution

The correct option is B 2
Runs scored by top three batsmen against Pakistan
=40+130+2819890%=198100%=220 runs
The rest of the players made only 22 runs.
Runs scored by top three batsmen against South Africa
=51+75+49=17570%=175100%=250
The rest of the players made only 75 runs
Runs scored by top three batsmen against Australia
55+87+5019280%=192100=240
The rest of the players made only 48 runs
Y40+ South Africa+87=127+runs
scored against South Africa.
V130+South Africa+Australia=130+ runs
scored against South Africa + Australia
K28+51+Australia=79+Runs
scored aganist Australia.
SPakistan+75+50=125+Runs scored against Pakistan.
RPakistan+49+55=104+Runs
scored splint Pakistan.
For Yuvraj. the middle number cannot be determined as we don't know the exact runs scored by him against South Africa.
Same is the ease with Virendra and Kaif.
For Saurav, the middle number will be 50 because what-ever runs he scores against Pakistan. they could be maximum 22 or minimum zero. This will not affect the middle number 50.
For Rahul middle index will be 49. (Same logic)
