  • None of these
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The fastest way to solve this is to check each named broadcaster against what is actually known about the Vijay TV acquisition.

  1. Sun TV: Sun TV is a leading Tamil broadcaster in its own right and was in fact a direct competitor of Vijay TV in the regional entertainment space, not its buyer.
  2. KTV: KTV is a separate Tamil channel with its own operations and had no role in acquiring Vijay TV.
  3. Zee TV: Zee TV is primarily a Hindi general entertainment channel with a different regional focus, and it was not involved in this acquisition either.
  4. None of these: The actual buyer of Vijay TV was Star India, the Indian arm of the Star network, which picked up a majority stake in the channel in the mid 2000s to enter the Tamil entertainment market, and Star is not among the three named options.

Since the real acquirer, Star, does not appear among Sun TV, KTV or Zee TV, the only option that can be correct is 'none of these'.

Let's summarize:

  • Vijay TV was bought by Star India, not by any of the three channels listed.
  • Sun TV, KTV and Zee TV each run their own separate channels with no acquisition link to Vijay TV.

So the correct answer is none of these, option (4).

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.
