Question

Match the following:

And select from the options given below:
(a) (i)>(P), (ii)>(Q), (iii)>(S), (iv)>(R)
(b) (i)>(R), (ii)>(S), (iii)>(P), (iv)>(Q)
(c) (i)>(R), (ii)>(S), (iii)>(Q), (iv)>(P)
(d) (i)>(P), (ii)>(S), (iii)>(Q), (iv)>(R)

Answer 1

Hint: In these types of questions we try to figure out the result by matching from the given options. Checking independently from the given options is the best way to solve these questions and arrive at the solution.

Complete step-by-step solution:
We will solve this question by matching and guessing from the options given in the question.
Because all the parts of the options have in the first (i) 100 crores either greater than (P), which is 1 thousand or greater than (R), which is 1 billion. So, we will first check that if (i)>(P) or (i)>(R).
We have 100 crores which are exactly equal to 1 billion, which means that 100 crores can’t be greater than (R) which is 1 billion.
Therefore, 100 crores in (i) are not greater than (R) which is 1 billion so the left option for us to take is (i) 100 crores is greater than (P), which is 1 thousand, which reduces our options to either (a) or (d).
We will now make a similar strategy to determine all the correct matches.
Now as we have shortlisted the options as (a) and (d). Matching from them we get either (ii)>(Q) or (ii)>(S) as the correct option, which means either 10 lakhs greater than 1 lakh or 10 lakhs is greater than 1 million.
Now we know that 10 lakhs are exactly equal to 1 million. Therefore, we have (ii) is exactly equal to (S) and not greater than (S).
Hence, we get that (ii)>(Q) is the correct answer for part (ii).
Therefore, we get the left option which is correct is an option(a).
We can also similarly check by matching other parts of the option (a), which are (iii)>(S), (iv)>(R), which are obviously correct.
Hence, we get the correct option is (a).

Note: The possibility of error in these types of questions could be at the point if you start directly by observing which number is greater than which number, which will eventually confuse you. For example, we see that 10 lakhs is greater than both 1 lakh and 1 thousand, these types of issues can lead to confusion and hence lead to error in the solution.
