The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
From the table, Truthful Ltd. has the highest MP revenue (72). If Profitable Ltd. has the lowest MP share, its MP revenue must be 63. Honest Ltd. will then have MP revenue 65. Summing across states, Honest Ltd.’s total would exceed Profitable Ltd.’s, hence Statement 2 follows if Statement 1 is true.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
From the data constraints, both statements are conditionally possible. No definitive necessity link exists between the two; multiple assignments of firms to revenues satisfy the conditions without enforcing a fixed truth relation between Statement 1 and Statement 2.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
UP’s highest revenue is 82, Bihar’s is 72. With firm assignments still flexible under constraints, it is possible to have Honest Ltd. as the firm with 82 in UP and Aggressive Ltd. with 72 in Bihar, satisfying both statements. No contradiction arises.

Updated On: Jul 31, 2025
- Truthful Ltd.’s lowest revenues are from MP.
- Truthful Ltd.’s lowest revenues are from Bihar.
- Truthful Ltd.’s lowest revenues are from UP.
- No definite conclusion is possible.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Even fixing Profitable Ltd. to have its lowest in UP does not uniquely determine the lowest revenue state for Truthful Ltd., as multiple assignments remain possible under constraints, leading to different minima for Truthful Ltd.
