Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Data Tabulation question

(a) Japan, with values of 90 & 89 is obviously there. Bangladesh, which has the second highest in water (total), has to be there too. China has only Japan dominating it, and hence is there too. Lastly, Malayasia is also there as nobody, not even Japan is dominating it. (Malayasia has similar sanitation figures as Japan.)
