The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The question wants us to spot which of the four listed companies belong to the FMCG sector. Let's take them one at a time.

  1. HLL: Hindustan Lever Limited sells soaps, detergents, shampoos and packaged foods, all classic FMCG items.
  2. P&G: Procter & Gamble is a global FMCG major known for detergents, personal care and household brands.
  3. Britannia: Britannia is one of India's largest biscuit and dairy product makers, again squarely FMCG.
  4. Nirma: Nirma built its business on low cost detergents and soaps, another core FMCG category.

Since every single company in the list, HLL, P&G, Britannia and Nirma, genuinely operates in FMCG, none of the partial options (A & B, or A, B and C, or A, B and D) can be the full answer.

Let's summarize:

  • FMCG companies sell everyday, low cost, high volume goods like soaps, food and detergents.
  • All four named companies fit this description with no exception.

So the correct choice is option (4), All of these.

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.
