The table lists for each of 25 countries (A–Y) the ranking the country had in 2005 and the ranking it had in 2012 based on the number of personal computers sold per 100 people in the country in those years. For example, the greatest number of personal computers sold per 100 people was in Country V in 2005 and in Country D in 2012. Country A lost five places in the rankings from 2005 to 2012 in going from a ranking of 6 in 2005 to a ranking of 11 in 2012, whereas Country H gained 4 places in the rankings in going from a ranking of 14 in 2005 to a ranking of 10 in 2012. None of the 25 countries had the same ranking in 2012 as in 2005.
For each of the following countries, select Gained if that country gained at least one place in the rankings from 2005 to 2012. Otherwise, select Lost.
