Question

Set for future, landed in past! When Jack tried to look for the problem, he found something that made his day even worse. He didn’t bring the toolbox with him. Overconfidence can really be so bad! But he was sure that he will never find them in a forest. So, he decided to go looking for nearest city. Jack checked his encyclopedia for the places around. He found the following data:

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Name of the place}& \text{Distance (in kms)}& \text{Population}\\ \text{Cottage}& 9.5& 4,000\\ \text{Arsenal}& 9.5& 1,000\\ \text{Britannia}& 35.3& 5,000\end{array}$

Jack analyzed the table carefully, hid his time machine under some tall bushes and started to go towards __.

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Name of the place}& \text{Distance (in kms)}& \text{Population}\\ \text{Cottage}& 9.5& 4,000\\ \text{Arsenal}& 9.5& 1,000\\ \text{Britannia}& 35.3& 5,000\end{array}$

Since Britannia is so far away, Jack won’t go there. Now, Cottage and Arsenal are at the same distance from there. But since the population of the Cottage is nearly 4 times that of Arsenal, Jack would better go there as there is more chance of getting what he wants there. It is like that because more number of people is there. So, there will be more number of shops from where Jack can get the equipments he needs.
