Data Interpretation Actual Questions in XAT 2023

Q1-3. Go through the information given below, and answer the THREE questions that follow. The three graphs below capture relationship between economic (and social) activities and subjective well-being. The first graph (Graph-1) captures relationship between GDP (per capita) and Satisfaction with life, across different countries and four islands: Gizo, Roviana, Niijhum Dwip, and Chittagong. The Graph-2 captures three different measures of subjective well-being (Satisfaction with life, Affect Balance and Momentary Affect) across the four islands, which have different levels monetization (Index). The Graph-3 captures levels of thirteen different socio-economic activities across four islands.

1. Which of the following will BEST capture the relationship between GDP (x-axis) and Life Satisfaction (y-axis) of countries?

EXPLANATION

C
From the graph, we can say that the graph is similar to y=log(x).
y = log(x) graph is given below

The correct option is C

2. Which of the following, about the four islands, can be BEST inferred from the graphs?

1. Whenever affect balance increases, satisfaction with life decreases
2. Whenever Pleasant activities increase, satisfaction with life decreases
3. Whenever Religion increases, satisfaction with life decreases
4. Whenever satisfaction with life increases, family also increases
5. Index of monetization varies maximum in Niijhum Dwip

EXPLANATION

2.E
We will check the options and figure out which option is more suitable.
Option A is not correct since it is not evident from the figure that there is a direct correlation between life satisfaction and affect balance.
Options B, C, and D are not correct since we cannot definitely conclude the correlation between the two mentioned factors.
Option E is correct because from the figure, and the fish selling distribution we can conclude the randomness than the others.
The correct option is E

3. Which of the following site has the highest fishing to economic ratio?

1. Gizo
2. Chittagong
3. Roviana
4. Niijhum Dwip
5. All four islands have equal dependence

EXPLANATION

C
In this case, we need to calculate for which state (fish/economic) is the maximum. To get the answer, we need to check the maximum fish-selling state and the corresponding economic status.
From the figure, we can say that Roviana has the maximum ratio.
