Directions for Questions: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below

Coach John sat with the score cards of Indian players from the 3 games in a one-day cricket tournament where the same set of players played for India and all the major batsman got out. John summarized the batting performance through three diagrams, one for each game. In each diagram, the three outer triangles communicate the number of runs scored by the three top scorers from India, where K, R, S, V, and Y represent Kaif, Rahul, Saurav, Virender, and Yuvraj respectively. The middle triangle in each diagram denotes the percentage of total score that was scored by the top three Indian scorers in that game. No two players score the same number of runs in the same game. John also calculated two batting indices for each player based on his scores in the tournament; the R-index of a batsman is the difference between his higest and lowest scores in the 3 games while the M-index is the middle number, if his scores are arranged in a non-increasing order.

Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Analytical Reasoning question

(a) The players who can have the lowest R-index can be seen from the table

Saurav’s R-index will be > 53 and Virender’s R-index > 82, so both can not have the lowest R-index

Kaif’s R- index lies between 23-51, so he definitely falls in the category of lowest R-index

Rahul (between 33-55) and Yuvraj (47-87) also fall in this category.
