XAT 2018 Question 22

Question 22

Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows:

The size of oceanic waves is a function of the velocity of the wind and of fetch, the length of the surface of the water subject to those winds. The average impact of waves against a coastline is a function of the size of the waves and the shape of the sea bottom. The degree of erosion on coastline is a function of the average impact of waves and the geologic composition of the coastline.

According to the above paragraph, which of the following options will be true?

Solution

The relation can be depicted as follows(Variables  -------> Function):

The velocity of the wind and of fetch, the length of the surface of the water subject to those winds -------> Size of oceanic waves

Size of the waves and the shape of the sea bottom ------->The average impact of waves against a coastline

The average impact of waves against a coastline, the geologic composition of the coastline -------> The degree of erosion on the coastline

Since only option E is following the flow, the correct option is E.
