Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the concept of the gender gap.
The gender gap is defined as the absolute difference between the average monthly income of males and females in each city for the given years (2005 and 2015).
Step 2: Analyze the change in gender gap.
The change in the gender gap from 2005 to 2015 for each city can be determined by comparing the positions of the red and blue dots for each year.
Step 3: Identify the city where the gender gap changed the least.
By visually comparing the shifts in the gender gap for each city, we determine that the city with the least change in the gender gap is city I.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(E) I}} \]

Answer 2

Step 1: Analyze the given statements.
Each statement must be checked using the plots that represent the monthly incomes of men and women for each city. The statements can be validated by visually inspecting the graphs.
Step 2: Determine the false statement.
Statement (B) is false because the data shows that the average monthly income of men in 2005 was higher than Rs. 30,000 in terms of 2025 prices.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(B) In terms of 2025 prices, the average monthly income of men of the 10 cities combined was less than Rs. 30,000 in 2005.}} \]

Answer 3

Step 1: Analyze the data for unscaled incomes.
We check the unscaled income data represented in the plots, noting the percentage changes from 2005 to 2015.
Step 2: Examine the statements for correctness.
Statement (D) is incorrect because the unscaled gender gaps did not reduce in all cities based on the given data.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(D) The unscaled gender gaps reduced in all 10 cities from 2005 to 2015.}} \]
