1. 
As per the figure above, the following are the percentage of students working at different times:

12pm- 30-35%
4pm- 25-30%
8am- 20-22%
8pm-20-22%
12am-6-7%
11pm-10-12%
 
Therefore, the most similar data points are 8am and 8pm i.e. Option B

2. 
As per the figure above, the following are the percentage of part-time students working at different times:

6am-<5%
8am-<10%
10am>13%
10pm-10-12%

The percentage of full-time students working at 11 pm are between 10-12%
 Therefore, the datapoints are most similar to 10 pm of part time students (Option D)

Kushchokhani · Answer

1. B
2. C

1. 
A. 12pm and 4pm- 33% vs 25%
B. 8am and 8pm- around 20% each
C. 12pm and 8pm- 33% vs 20%
D. 12am and 11pm- 6% vs 12%
Only choice B i.e. 8am and 8pm are close to each other. Hence, answer is B.

2. The % of full time students studying at 11pm = around 12%
12% of part time students are studying at 10am. Hence, answer is C.

Arm007 · Answer

Since these are graphical questions, we will try to eliminate 3 incorrect options instead of choosing the 1 right option.
1Q: For full time students, we can see that the max % of student studying is between 9am - 1 pm.
So any option which has one hour from this range and an hour from another range should be wrong.
Hence C and A are eliminated.
No between rest of the 2 options, at 8 am the % student studying is between 20-25% and at

the % full time student studying at:
8am = 20-25%
8pm = 20-25%
11pm = 10-15%
12am = 5-10%

Also we can see that the slope from 11 pm to 12 am is very steep, hence option D is also eliminated.

Hence  option B  is correct.

2Q.
From last q we saw that % full time students studying at 11pm is around 10-15%.

Now again we try to eliminate 3 options

the % part time student studying at:
6am = 0-5%
8pm = 5-10%
10am = 10-15%
11pm = 5-10%

Hence option A,B and D are not similar to the range of % full time students studying at 11pm.

Hence  option C  is correct.

12 pm for full time students has the same percent only at 9am, so A and C are out. At 12 am similar % on Y axis is at around 7:30 am only So D is out. Correct answer=B
2) 
% of full time students studying at 11pm is between 10% and 15%.
% of part time students at 6am is below 10% (not A)
at 8am is below 10%(Not B)
at 10pm is below the required level as visible in the graph(Not D)

As we can see, amongst the range options given above, only 8am and 8pm have values between the same 5 percent variation (20-25%)

2. The % of full time students studying at 11pm is most similar to the % of part time students studying at ____________.

A. 6am
B. 8am

Let us examine the answer choices

6am: 0-5%
8am: 5-10%
10am: 10-15%

Hello Everyone!

OA to this question is:

1. B
2. C

Sajjad1994 · Answer

Official Explanation

B – to compare the times of day, first consult the answer choices and then use the process of elimination. The first choice, 8am and 8pm, shows an almost identical relationship. With that as the “incumbent” correct answer, the other choices do not get close enough to really consider further. 8am and 8pm is the correct answer.

Answer: B

C – to compare these, draw an imaginary line (or use your pen to bridge the lines on your screen) and you will see that the 10am line for part-time students matches almost directly with the 11pm line for full-time students.

Answer: C
