The bar chart gives the batting averages of VK and RS for 11 calendar years from 2012 to 2022. Considering that 2015 and 2019 are world cup years, which one of the following options is true?

Bar chart of the yearly batting averages of VK (solid bars) and RS (chequered bars) for 2012 to 2022, on a scale of 0 to 140

  • A.RS has a higher yearly batting average than that of VK in every world cup year.
  • B.VK has a higher yearly batting average than that of RS in every world cup year.
  • C.VK's yearly batting average is consistently higher than that of RS between the two world cup years.
  • D.RS's yearly batting average is consistently higher than that of VK in the last three years.

Answer: C

The true statement is that VK's yearly batting average is consistently higher than that of RS between the two world cup years.

Between 2015 and 2019 lie 2016, 2017 and 2018. In each, VK's bar is above RS's: about 92 against 63, 77 against 72, and 133 against 74.

The other statements fail on one year each. RS is not higher in every world cup year, because in 2019 VK (about 60) is slightly above RS (about 58). VK is not higher in every world cup year, because in 2015 RS (about 51) is well above VK (about 37). And RS is not consistently higher in the last three years, because in 2021 VK (about 43) is above RS (about 30).
