Solution

The correct option is B
Rahul and Nikhil

Convert the ratings of Aravind and Rahul to corresponding ranks and calculate deviations.

$\begin{matrix} M o v i e s & A & R & D_{i} = A - R & D_{i}^{2} M_{1} & 4 & 3 & 1 & 1 M_{2} & 3 & 1 & 2 & 4 M_{3} & 1 & 5 & - 4 & 16 M_{4} & 5 & 2 & 3 & 9 M_{5} & 2 & 4 & - 2 & 4 \sum = 34 \end{matrix}$

$r_{k} = 1 - \frac{6 \sum D_{i}^{2}}{n^{3} - n} = 1 - \frac{6 \times 34}{125 - 5} = 1 - \frac{204}{120} = - 0.7$

Convert the ratings of Rahul and Nikhil to corresponding ranks and calculate deviations.

$\begin{matrix} M o v i e s & R & N & D_{i} = R - N & D_{i}^{2} M_{1} & 3 & 4 & 1 & 1 M_{2} & 1 & 2 & - 1 & 1 M_{3} & 5 & 5 & 0 & 0 M_{4} & 2 & 3 & - 1 & 1 M_{5} & 4 & 1 & 3 & 9 \sum = 12 \end{matrix}$

$r_{k} = 1 - \frac{6 \sum D_{i}^{2}}{n^{3} - n} = 1 - \frac{6 \times 28}{125 - 5} = 1 - \frac{72}{120} = 0.4$

Convert the ratings of Aravind and Nikhil to corresponding ranks and calculate deviations.

$\begin{matrix} M o v i e s & A & N & D_{i} = A - N & D_{i}^{2} M_{1} & 4 & 4 & 0 & 0 M_{2} & 3 & 2 & 1 & 1 M_{3} & 1 & 5 & - 4 & 16 M_{4} & 5 & 3 & 2 & 4 M_{5} & 2 & 1 & 1 & 1 \sum = 22 \end{matrix}$

$r_{k} = 1 - \frac{6 \sum D_{i}^{2}}{n^{3} - n} = 1 - \frac{6 \times 22}{125 - 5} = 1 - \frac{132}{120} = - 0.1$

Clearly, Rahul and Nikhil have the most similar taste in movies.
