Question

Which of the following options can be the colours that represent Amit and Alex?

• A. Grey and yellow
• B. Dark and light blue
• C. Yellow and orange
• D. Orange and light blue

Answer 1

The correct option is C Yellow and orange

To find the colours corresponding to each player, we need to first find out what portion of the total they represent
total number of wickets taken
= 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4
= 16
Portion of the total represented by 4
= 4/16
= 1/4
So 4 represents a quarter and 2 represents less than a quarter.
We want the portion represented by Alex and Amit.
Since Alex took 4 wickets, he has to be represented by either light blue, dark blue or orange.
Since Amit took only 2 wickets, he has to be represented by either yellow or grey.
The only option that matches both conditions is option C
