The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

This question checks which institution Tadao Chino led. Let's rule out the options one by one.

  1. UNESCO: This UN body for education, science and culture is run by a Director-General, a post that has always gone to different individuals, not Tadao Chino.
  2. UNDP: The United Nations Development Programme is headed by an Administrator, again a separate line of leadership unrelated to Tadao Chino.
  3. Asian Development Bank (ADB): Tadao Chino, a senior Japanese finance official, served as President of the ADB from 1999, guiding its lending for infrastructure and development projects across Asia. This is the correct match.
  4. World Bank: The World Bank's presidents in this period were figures like James Wolfensohn and Paul Wolfowitz, both American, not Tadao Chino.

So Tadao Chino is correctly linked with the Asian Development Bank.

Let's summarize:

  • Tadao Chino was President of the ADB, the regional development bank for Asia and the Pacific.
  • UNESCO, UNDP and the World Bank were headed by other people during this period.

The right answer is option (3), Asian Development Bank (ADB).

Read the scenario and answer the question:
The upper hinge of a dataset is the median of all the values to the right of the median of the dataset in an ascending arrangement, while the lower hinge of the dataset is the median of all the values to the left of the median of the dataset in the same arrangement.
For example, consider the dataset 4, 3, 2, 6, 4, 2, 7. When arranged in the ascending order, it becomes 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7. The median is 4 (the bold value), and hence the upper hinge is the median of 4, 6, 7, i.e., 6. Similarly, the lower hinge is 2. 
A student has surveyed thirteen of her teachers, and recorded their work experience (in integer years). Two of the values recorded by the student got smudged, and she cannot recall those values. All she remembers is that those two values were unequal, so let us write them as A and B, where A < B. The remaining eleven values, as recorded, are: 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 16, 19, 21, 21, 27, 29. Moreover, the student also remembers the following summary measures, calculated based on all the thirteen values: 
Minimum: 2
Lower Hinge: 6.5 
Median: 12 
Upper Hinge: 21 
Maximum: 29

Read the following scenario and answer the questions that follow.
A T20 cricket match consists of two teams playing twenty overs each, numbered 1 to 20. The runs scored in any over is a non-negative integer. The run rate at the end of any over is the average runs scored up to and including that over, i.e., the run rate at the end of the kth over is the average number of runs scored in overs numbered \(1, 2, …, k,\) where \(1 \leq k \leq 20, k\) a positive integer.
The following table indicates the run rate of a team at the end of some of the overs during a T20 cricket match (correct up to 2 decimal places), where \(1 \leq N – 2 < N + 6 \leq 20\), N a positive integer. It is also known that the team did not score less than 6 runs and more than 15 runs in any over.
