Which of the following form ordinal variables ?
MH SET - 2021, SET Exam - 2021,
Answer: B
The ordinal variables are Branch manager, Deputy manager, General manager.
An ordinal variable has categories with a meaningful order but no fixed interval between them. Job ranks fit: deputy manager, branch manager and general manager stand in a clear order of seniority, but the 'distance' between ranks is not measurable.
Apple, orange and grape, and pen, ball and tea, are nominal variables: they are categories with no natural order. 'Both (A) and (B)' fails because the fruits are not ordinal.
