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.

Question 50

If Benga scores 16 and Delma scores 15, then what is the maximum number of countries with a score of 13?

Description: If Benga scores 16 and Delma scores 15, then what is the maximum number of countries with a score of 13?

Solution

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

Given that Benga scores 16, and Delma scores 15.

The possibility is Benga: 5,5,6 and Delma: 7,5,3

If Benga's distribution is 7,3,6 then Delma can't score 15.

Strike off those numbers.

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~~

We have to maximum number of countries with score 13. This score does not comes under the category of happy. So to score 13, the distribution can be 5,5,3. Hence, maximum 1 country is possible.
