Which statistical technique is used to analyze patterns of loading of coefficients?
Show Hint
- Correlation
- Regression
- Factor Analysis
- Item Analysis
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand the statistical purpose.
- Factor analysis is a statistical method that examines relationships among observed variables. - It identifies latent variables (factors) that explain patterns of correlations among measured variables.
Step 2: Analyze given options.
- Correlation: Measures relationship between two variables only. (Incorrect)
- Regression: Predicts one variable based on another. (Incorrect)
- Factor Analysis: Discovers underlying structure from loading patterns. (Correct)
- Item Analysis: Evaluates test questions, not loading patterns. (Incorrect)
Thus, the correct statistical technique is: \[ \boxed{{Factor Analysis}} \]

- An organization allows its employees to work independently on consultancy projects but charges an overhead on the consulting fee.
The overhead is 20% of the consulting fee if the fee is up to ₹5,00,000.
For higher fees, the overhead is ₹1,00,000 plus 10% of the amount by which the fee exceeds ₹5,00,000.
The government charges a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 18% on the total amount (i.e., the consulting fee plus the overhead).
An employee of the organization charges this entire amount — that is, the consulting fee, overhead, and tax — to the client.
If the client cannot pay more than ₹10,00,000, what is the maximum consulting fee that the employee can charge? Eight students (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) are playing musical chairs. The figure indicates their order of position at the start of the game. They play the game by moving forward in a circle in the clockwise direction.
After the 1st round, the 4th student behind P leaves the game.
After the 2nd round, the 5th student behind Q leaves the game.
After the 3rd round, the 3rd student behind V leaves the game.
After the 4th round, the 4th student behind U leaves the game.
Who all are left in the game after the 4th round?
