- 1997-98 dominates 1996-97
- 1997-98 dominates 1995-96
- 1998-99 dominates 1996-97
- 1995-96 dominates 1998-99
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Total hardware business per year:
Hardware (domestic + exports): 1994-95: \(590+177=767\); 1995-96: \(1037+35=1072\); 1996-97: \(1050+286=1336\); 1997-98: \(1205+201=1406\); 1998-99: \(1026+4=1030\).
Step 2: Test each option:
(1) 1997-98 (1406) dominates 1996-97 (1336): true. (2) 1997-98 (1406) dominates 1995-96 (1072): true. (4) 1995-96 (1072) dominates 1998-99 (1030): true. (3) 1998-99 (1030) dominates 1996-97 (1336): false, since \(1030 \lt 1336\).
Final Answer:
The statement that is not true is option (3): 1998-99 dominates 1996-97.
Hardware (domestic + exports): 1994-95: \(590+177=767\); 1995-96: \(1037+35=1072\); 1996-97: \(1050+286=1336\); 1997-98: \(1205+201=1406\); 1998-99: \(1026+4=1030\).
Step 2: Test each option:
(1) 1997-98 (1406) dominates 1996-97 (1336): true. (2) 1997-98 (1406) dominates 1995-96 (1072): true. (4) 1995-96 (1072) dominates 1998-99 (1030): true. (3) 1998-99 (1030) dominates 1996-97 (1336): false, since \(1030 \lt 1336\).
Final Answer:
The statement that is not true is option (3): 1998-99 dominates 1996-97.

- 1996-97 dominates 1995-96
- None of these
- 1997-98 dominates 1998-99
- 1998-99 dominates 1995-96
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Yearly totals:
Hardware: 767, 1072, 1336, 1406, 1030 for 1994-95 to 1998-99. Peripherals (domestic + exports): \(148+6=154\), \(196+6=202\), \(181+14=195\), \(229+19=248\), \(329+18=347\).
Step 2: Option (1):
1996-97 vs 1995-96: hardware \(1336 \ge 1072\) holds, but peripherals \(195 \ge 202\) fails. Not true.
Step 3: Option (4):
1998-99 vs 1995-96: hardware \(1030 \ge 1072\) fails. Not true.
Step 4: Option (3):
1997-98 vs 1998-99: hardware \(1406 \ge 1030\) holds, but peripherals \(248 \ge 347\) fails. Not true.
Final Answer:
None of options (1)-(3) is true, so the correct option is (2): None of these.

Step 3: Option (4):
1998-99 vs 1995-96: hardware \(1030 \ge 1072\) fails. Not true.
Step 4: Option (3):
1997-98 vs 1998-99: hardware \(1406 \ge 1030\) holds, but peripherals \(248 \ge 347\) fails. Not true.
Final Answer:
None of options (1)-(3) is true, so the correct option is (2): None of these.
