Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Define the gender gap.
The gender gap is the absolute difference between the average monthly incomes of males and females in a given city for the specified years (2005 and 2015).
Step 2: Evaluate gender gap progression.
The change in the gender gap between 2005 and 2015 for each city can be assessed by observing the relative positions of the red and blue markers for each year.
Step 3: Pinpoint the city with minimal gender gap alteration.
Through visual comparison of the gender gap variations across cities, it is determined that city I experienced the least change.
Final Answer: \[\boxed{\text{(E) I}}\]

Answer 2

Step 1: Analyze the given statements.
Each statement must be verified against the provided plots, which illustrate the monthly incomes of men and women across different cities on a monthly basis. Visual inspection of these graphs will enable statement validation.
Step 2: Identify the false statement.
Statement (B) is determined to be false. The data indicates that in 2005, the average monthly income for men exceeded Rs. 30,000, when adjusted to 2025 prices.
Final Answer: \[\boxed{\text{(B) In terms of 2025 prices, the average monthly income of men of the 10 cities combined was less than Rs. 30,000 in 2005.}}\]

Answer 3

Step 1: Analyze unscaled incomes.
Examine unscaled income data presented in the plots, observing percentage changes between 2005 and 2015.
Step 2: Verify statement accuracy.
Statement (D) is inaccurate as the unscaled gender gaps did not decrease across all cities according to the provided data.
Final Answer: \[\boxed{\text{(D) The unscaled gender gaps reduced in all 10 cities from 2005 to 2015.}}\]
