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 yearly batting averages, VK solid and RS chequered, 2012 to 2022. Approximate values VK/RS: 2012 68/13, 2013 53/52, 2014 58/53, 2015 36/51, 2016 92/62, 2017 77/72, 2018 133/74, 2019 60/57, 2020 48/57, 2021 43/30, 2022 27/41

  • 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 taller: about 92 against 62, 77 against 72, and 133 against 74.

The others fail on the chart. In 2015 RS (about 51) is above VK (about 36), so VK is not higher in every world cup year; in 2019 VK (about 60) is just above RS (about 57), so RS is not higher in every world cup year either. In the last three years RS is higher in 2020 and 2022 but VK is higher in 2021 (about 43 against 30), so RS is not consistently higher.
