The total number of followers gained by two vloggers Harsh Beniwal and Ashish Chanchlani on 5 platforms are 230 and 240 in a day, with standard deviation of 2.3 and 1.2 respectively. Who is more consistent in performance and by how much variation? 

The total number of followers gained by two vloggers Harsh Beniwal and Ashish Chanchlani on 5 platforms are 230 and 240 in a day, with standard deviation of 2.3 and 1.2 respectively. Who is more consistent in performance and by how much variation?  Correct Answer <span style=" line-height: 107%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Harsh by 2.5</span>

Given:

Number of followers gained by Harsh in a day = 230

Number of followers gained by Ashish in a day = 240

Standard Deviation for Harsh = 2.3

Standard Deviation for Ashish = 1.2

Number of platforms = 5

Formula used:

Mean = (sum of observations)/(number of observations)

Coefficient of variation = (SD/Mean) × 100 

where, SD = Standard deviation

Calculation:

For Harsh,

Mean = 230/5 = 46

Coefficient of variation = (2.3/46) × 100

⇒ Coefficient of variation for Harsh= 1/20 × 100 = 5

For Ashish,

Mean = 240/5 = 48

Coefficient of variation = (1.2/48) × 100

⇒ Coefficient of variation for Ashish = 1/40 × 100 = 2.5

Difference between their coefficient of variation = 5 – 2.5 = 2.5

∴ Harsh is more consistent and their difference is 2.5

In the question below, a passage is given followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Passage: COVID-19 has adversely affected Cinema Halls. Not just the fact that they are still in lockdown, but also because OTT platforms like Disney-Hotstar and Amazon prime are wooing desperate producers to directly release their films in OTT platforms. Despite repeated requests, producers are not heeding to the calls of Cinema Halls not to release on OTT platforms. Many cinema halls and multiplexes are staring at mammoth losses. Courses of action: I. The Cinema halls should be demolished and converted to multi-storey residential buildings. II. Multiplexes and Cinema halls must come together and ban the films that are releasing on OTT platforms from theatrical release. III. The Government must ban all films from direct release on OTT platforms.
