Additional instructions: For any activity A, year X dominates years Y if IT business in activity A, in the year X, is greater than the IT business, in activity A, in the year Y. For any two IT business activities, A & B, year X dominates year Y if: a) The IT business in activity A, in the year X, is greater than or equal to the IT business, in activity A in the year Y, b) The IT business in activity B, in the year X, is greater than or equal to the IT business in activity B in the year Y and c) There should be strict inequality in the case of at least one activity.

Question: 1

Additional instructions:

For any activity A, year X dominates year Y if IT business in activity A, in the year X, is greater than the IT business, in activity A, in the year Y. For any two IT business activities, A & B, year X dominates year Y if:

a) The IT business in activity A, in the year X, is greater than or equal to the IT business, in activity A in the year Y,

b) The IT business in activity B, in the year X, is greater than or equal to the IT business in activity B in the year Y and

c) There should be strict inequality in the case of at least one activity.

For the IT hardware business activity, which one of the following is not true?

Show Hint

For a single activity, X dominates Y simply when the business in X is larger. Add hardware domestic and exports for each year first.

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.

Question: 2

Additional instructions:

For any activity A, year X dominates year Y if IT business in activity A, in the year X, is greater than the IT business, in activity A, in the year Y. For any two IT business activities, A & B, year X dominates year Y if:

a) The IT business in activity A, in the year X, is greater than or equal to the IT business, in activity A in the year Y,

b) The IT business in activity B, in the year X, is greater than or equal to the IT business in activity B in the year Y and

c) There should be strict inequality in the case of at least one activity.

For the two IT business activities, hardware and peripherals, which one of the following is true?

Show Hint

For two activities, the year X must be at least as large in both hardware and peripherals. Use the yearly totals (domestic + exports) of each.

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.
