Question

Match the following Curves in Group-I with their corresponding uses in Group-II.

 

• A. P–2, Q–3, R–4, S–5
• B. P–3, Q–1, R–5, S–2
• C. P–1, Q–2, R–3, S–4
• D. P–2, Q–1, R–5, S–4

Hint:

Curves like the Lorenz and Mass curves are essential in economics and traffic engineering for understanding distributions and transitions in various systems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

P (Mass Curve) is a graphical representation of cumulative inflow (supply) and outflow (demand) over time. Hence, P–2.
Q (Lorenz Curve) is a graphical representation of income or wealth inequality. Hence, Q–1.
R (Density Curve) is an idealized representation of distribution in which the area under the curve is defined to be 1. Hence, R–5.
S (Horizontal Curve) provides a transition between tangent strips of roadway, allowing a vehicle to negotiate a turn. Hence, S–4. 
Thus, the correct match is (D) P–2, Q–1, R–5, S–4.
