priyadabas01, to answer the query, a subtle difference between accurate and consistent is important.

Accurate is exact value, while being consistent with given information means the option should not contradict the given information

So,
x as 43 will contradict the given information 55<x<61 and thereby is not consistent with given information, while x as 58 falls in the range 55<x<61 and therefore does not contradict the information of passage. Thus x as 58 is consistent with the given information. Notice that we are not talking of exact/accurate value of x.

Hello chetan2u

Hope you are doing well. I wanted to know why the information is inconsistent against Chiara won the game? Can you please share an explanation for this?

Thank you!

Best,

Four friends—Amelie, Benedikt, Chiara, and Dominic—played four rounds of a card game together. In each round, each player scored a positive integer number of points. The number of points each player scored in each round is recorded in the table, except for Chiara's score in Round 3, which the scorekeeper forgot to record and is represented by x. The winner of the game was the player whose total score (the sum of the scores for all 4 rounds) was greatest.

The friends correctly remember that Chiara scored the greatest number of points among the 4 friends in exactly 2 of the 4 rounds, and she scored a greater number of points in Round 3 than she did in each of the other 3 rounds. The position of x and x + 154 in the table sorts does not indicate anything about their values.

For each of the following statements, select Consistent if the statement is consistent with the information provided. Otherwise, select Not consistent.

Chiara's Round 3 score was 43.
Chiara's Round 3 score was 58.
Chiara won the game.


Quote:
Chiara scored the greatest number of points among the 4 friends in exactly 2 of the 4 rounds
She has scored the highest points in Round 1 and round 2, so she should have scored less than 61, which is the highest in round 3.

Quote:
she scored a greater number of points in Round 3 than she did in each of the other 3 rounds
So she should have scored >55

The range of x = 55<x<61

Total of Chiara is 55+154<x+154<61+154 => 209<x+154<215

How is "chiara won the game" not consistent??
x+154 at most is 214 .then in any case ,chiara lost the game.
So it must be consistent.

Please make me clear ,where i m wrong
Thanks

Komal and CEO2021
We do not know the exact score but know the range 209 to 215, both excluded.
But we have B scoring 225, meaning B is the winner.
So how can be 'C is winner' consistent.

Do not confuse consistency with Sufficiency question, which can have both yes and no as the answer.
Here the information should be consistent with information in question stem, that is you should not find No as the answer. Even 'C's score was 48' is not consistent for same reason.
