Correct Option - 3

Detailed Solution:

(c) rather than calculating for each year, we can deduce that since the number of men is significantly greater than the other three, the maximum number of literacy rate for men.

In 2003, the literacy rate for men is 50 percent, which is the highest for his category.

Considering that the number of men in the year 2013 is 40000, the number of literate men will be 20000 which is much higher as compared to the literate men in other years.

Hence, option (c)

If a win carries an award of Rs. 150 and a loss carries of Rs. 100, what is the largest difference in prize money earned among the four?

Vishal Baghel

We get the following table of earnings:

Persons	Win Total	Average
P	36 * 150 + 14 * 100 = 6800	136
Q	34 * 150 + 21 * 100 = 7200	131
R	23 * 150 + 36 * 100 = 6850	116
S	30 * 150 + 30 * 100 = 6000	100

Now we can see that the largest difference

= Maximum – Minimum = Rs. 7500 – Rs. 6800

= Rs. 700
