Simple Happiness index (SHI) of a country is computed on the basis of three, parameters: social support (S),freedom to life choices (F) and corruption perception (C). Each of these three parameters is measured on a scale of 0 to 8 (integers only). A country is then categorised based on the total score obtained by summing the scores of all the three parameters, as shown in the following table:
Following diagram depicts the frequency distribution of the scores in S, F and C of 10 countries - Amda, Benga, Calla, Delma, Eppa, Varsa, Wanna, Xanda,Yanga and Zooma:
Further, the following are known.
1. Amda and Calla jointly have the lowest total score, 7, with identical scores in all the three parameters.
2. Zooma has a total score of 17.
3. All the 3 countries, which are categorised as happy, have the highest score ln exactly one parameter.
Benga and Delma, two countries categorized as happy, are tied with the same total score. What is the
maximum score they can have?
S: 3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,6,7
F: 1,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,5,7
C: 1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,6
Benga and Delma, two countries categorized as happy, are tied with the same total score.
The best numbers remaining are 7,5,6 which adds upto 18, If Benga scores 18, then Delma can't score 18.
Similarly both can't score 17 and 16. Both can score 15 and their distribution will be:
Benga: 7,5,3
Delma: 4,5,6 or 5,4,6
