The three graphs below capture the relationship between economic (and social) activities and subjective wellbeing. The first graph (Graph-1) captures the 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.
Which of the following site has the highest fishing to economic ratio?

Which of the following site has the highest fishing to economic ratio?
- Gizo
- Chittagong
- Roviana
- Niijhum Dwip
- All four islands have equal dependence
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
To determine which site has the highest fishing to economic ratio, we need to analyze Graph-3, which presents levels of different socio-economic activities across four islands: Roviana, Gizo, Niijhum Dwip, and Chittagong.
From Graph-3, we observe the following details for each island:
- Roviana: Shows a significant level of fishing activity compared to its economic activity. The fishing sector appears to be one of the largest segments in the chart.
- Gizo, Niijhum Dwip, and Chittagong: Exhibit varying levels of economic activity with fishing, but none display a fishing segment as large as Roviana's relative to their economic sectors.
Given this analysis, Roviana exhibits the highest fishing relative to its economic activity, indicating it has the highest fishing to economic ratio among the four islands.
Therefore, the correct answer is Roviana.
Approach Solution -2
To solve the question of which site has the highest fishing to economic ratio, we need to analyze the data presented in Graph-3, which shows the levels of socio-economic activities across the four islands: Gizo, Roviana, Niijhum Dwip, and Chittagong. The focus should be on the levels of fishing activities relative to other economic activities on these islands.
Steps to determine the site with the highest fishing to economic ratio are as follows:
- Identify the Measure of Fishing Activity: Look for the level of fishing activity from Graph-3 for each of the given islands.
- Compare Fishing with Other Economic Activities: Assess how fishing activities compare to other economic activities for each island. This comparison will be visual based on how prominently fishing is depicted in the graph relative to other activities.
- Calculate the Ratio: Though the graph may not provide explicit numerical values, visually judge which island has a higher proportion of fishing activities compared to overall economic activities.
- Conclusion for the Highest Ratio: Based on the visual analysis, Roviana shows a high level of dependence on fishing as compared to other economic activities, indicating that it has the highest fishing to economic ratio among the listed sites.
Thus, the site with the highest fishing to economic ratio is Roviana.

Light Chemicals is an industrial paint supplier with presence in three locations: Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The sunburst chart below shows the distribution of the number of employees of different departments of Light Chemicals. There are four departments: Finance, IT, HR and Sales. The employees are deployed in four ranks: junior, mid, senior and executive. The chart shows four levels: location, department, rank and gender (M: male, F: female). At every level, the number of employees at a location/department/rank/gender are proportional to the corresponding area of the region represented in the chart.
Due to some issues with the software, the data on junior female employees have gone missing. Notice that there are junior female employees in Mumbai HR, Sales and IT departments, Hyderabad HR department, and Bengaluru IT and Finance departments. The corresponding missing numbers are marked u, v, w, x, y and z in the diagram, respectively.
It is also known that:
a) Light Chemicals has a total of 210 junior employees.
b) Light Chemicals has a total of 146 employees in the IT department.
c) Light Chemicals has a total of 777 employees in the Hyderabad office.

- Two buses travel between Jamshedpur and Kolkata in the opposite directions, on the same road. On that road, the maximum allowed speeds are different (but constant) for the opposite directions. Usually, both buses travel at the respective maximum allowed speeds to their respective destinations: the bus from Jamshedpur to Kolkata takes 4 hours, while the bus from Kolkata to Jamshedpur takes 3 hours.
One day, the two buses start at the same time. However, one hour after starting, the bus from Jamshedpur to Kolkata reduces its speed to half of its maximum allowed speed due to congestion on the road.
If both buses do not stop anywhere in between, how many hours after starting do they meet?

- An artificial swimming pool is circular and water is flowing clockwise at a speed of 3 km/hr. Two swimmers Ayub and Rana start from diametrically opposite points, Ayub in the anticlockwise direction and Rana in the clockwise direction. They first meet at a point such that Ayub has covered 60 m by that time. Their second meeting point is such that Rana has covered another 180 m after the first meeting point. If the speed of Rana in still water is 3 km/hr, find the time taken by Ayub to cover one full circle in the clockwise direction.

Brijbhushan, a microfinancier, lends money at the rate of Rs.10 per square meter to small farmers at a village. He charges an annual interest rate of 10%. All the farming plots in that village are rectangular, with areas varying between a minimum of 1000 square meters and a maximum of 10,000 square meters.
This year, Brijbhushan has lent money only to five farmers: Aditya, Binod, Chhuttan, Dabloo and Govind. The perimeter of Chhuttan’s plot is 250 meters, with the length and width being at a ratio of 4:1. Aditya’s plot has an area three times the area of Govind’s plot. The area of Aditya’s plot is also the average of the areas of Govind’s plot and Dabloo’s plot. The plots belonging to Aditya, Binod and Dabloo are of the same width, but of different lengths. Moreover, the length of Binod’s plot is the sum of the lengths of Aditya’s plot and Dabloo’s plot.- XAT - 2026
