In the ques it is given- only 8% ppl have income less than 2 lacs whereas the condition is less than 10% ppl should have income less than 1.5 lac

Acc to me, the data is inadequate as the income can be less than 2 lacs but more 1.5 lacs

Question:

DIRECTIONS: These questions are based on the following information.


A refrigerator company, MPL wants to launch different models in different cities of India depending upon the following criteria. The city must


(i) have a population of more than 20 lakhs,

(ii) have at least 50% of the population with an annual income of 2 lakhs per annum or more.

(iii) be well connected with the major cities of the world.

(iv) have the average temperature more than 20°C during summer.


If the city satisfies all the above criteria, then the company will launch all the models numbered 518JTX, 486ZMQ and 446ZMQ. But if the city satisfies all the conditions except


(a) condition (i) alone but has less than 10% of the people in the city whose annual income is less than 1.5 lakhs per annum, then the company will not launch model numbered 518JTX but launches the other two.

(b) condition (ii) alone but the total sales of the refrigerators in the previous year in that city is more than 5000, then the company will launch the model numbered 446ZMQ only.


Based on the above criteria, decide the course of action for each of the following cases. Do not assume anything about information not given. If the data is not sufficient for taking any decision, mark your answer as data inadequate. For each of the following questions choose your answer as

Lucknow, has an international airport which connects the major cities of the world. The city has a population of 19,3 lakh. In the previous year the total sales of refrigerators was Rs.5239 and the average temperature during summer was 31°C. More than 60% of the population has an annual income of 2.5 lakh. Only 8% of the population has an annual income of less than 2 lakhs.
