Most consistent player is the one with least dispersion in the scores. For this, Coefficient of Variance is used to measure relative measure of dispersion between two sets.
Coefficient of Variance(CV) = Standard Deviation Mean
Calculating it for all the four players.
K's CV = 0.167
L's CV = 0.138
M's CV = 0.114
N's CV = 0.329
Larger the value of CV, less consistent is the player. So the most consistent player is M.Correct Option: B

13 + 16 + 19 = 48 > 40
Hence, 4 students would have watched all three due to which there is a double counting of 4 × 2 = 8.Correct Option: C
13 + 16 + 19 = 48 > 40
Hence, 4 students would have watched all three due to which there is a double counting of 4 × 2 = 8.
- A number consists of two digits. The sum of the digits is 9. If 45 is subtracted from the number, its digits are interchanged. What is the number?

Let two digit number be xy.
Now sum of digit is 9
∴ x + y = 9 ....(i)
and when ‘45’ is subtracted from number then digit gets interchanged
∴ 10x + y – 45 = 10y + x
∴ x – 5 = y
x – y = 5 ....(ii)
Now solving equation (i) and (ii) we get
x = 7 and y = 2
Hence the number is 72.Correct Option: B

Machine × time = M1 × t1 Number of toys T1 = M2 × t2 T2 ∴ 7 × 7 = 100 × t2 7 100
∴ t2 = 7 minCorrect Option: B
Machine × time = M1 × t1 Number of toys T1 = M2 × t2 T2 ∴ 7 × 7 = 100 × t2 7 100
∴ t2 = 7 min

Here from graph for x = 1, y = – 1
Checking the same from options.
From option (a)
for x = 1
y = ||1| + 1| - 2
= 2 - 2 = 0
∴ Option (a) is wrong
From option (c)
for x = 1
y = ||x| + 1| - 1
=|1 + 1| - 1 = 1
∴ Option (c) is wrong.Correct Option: B
