These questions are based on the table below presenting data on percentage population covered by drinking water and sanitation facilities in selected Asian countries.

Country A is said to dominate B or A > B if A has higher percentage in total coverage for both drinking water and sanitation facilities, and, B is said to be dominated by A, or B < A. A country is said to be on the coverage frontier if no other country dominates it. Similarly, a country is not on the coverage frontier if it is dominated by at least one other country. 

Question 148

Which of the following statements are true?

A. India > Pakistan and India > Indonesia

India has greater sanitation facilities as well as drinking water coverage than China. Similar is the case between India and Nepal.
Hence, India > China and India > Nepal. So, statement B is true.

Sri Lanka has lesser drinking water coverage than China. Hence, statement C is false.

China has greater sanitation facilities as well as drinking water coverage than Nepal. Hence, China > Nepal and statement D is true.
