The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

This question is about matching a well known Indian drug brand, Penegra, to the pharmaceutical company that actually makes it.

  1. Zydus Cadila: Zydus Cadila, part of the Cadila Healthcare group, launched Penegra in the early 2000s as its branded version of sildenafil citrate, the same molecule sold globally as Viagra, and this brand belongs squarely to Zydus Cadila.
  2. Glaxo Smith Kline: Glaxo Smith Kline is a major multinational drug maker with its own separate range of products in India, but Penegra is not among them.
  3. Cipla: Cipla is one of India's largest generic drug companies, known especially for respiratory medicines, but it does not manufacture Penegra either.
  4. None of these: Since Penegra is clearly a Zydus Cadila brand, this option does not apply.

Matching the brand history to the company that actually launched and markets it shows Zydus Cadila is the correct maker of Penegra.

Let's summarize:

  • Penegra is Zydus Cadila's branded version of sildenafil citrate.
  • Glaxo Smith Kline and Cipla both sell different drug portfolios and are not linked to Penegra.

So the correct answer is Zydus Cadila, option (1).

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.
