No | No | NO

i) Is NZ, more youngsters play water sports (water polo and rowing) compared to other sports. But how do we know where the live ? maybe in newzland -- there is a good suway system that leads to the stadiums where you have to play - water polo and rowing ?

where are the training centers ?
just because you train in water polo and rowing-- that must mean, i live near the coastal areas of new zealand ? i doubt it ...

For example - maybe all the people live in the cities and take a straight bus to the training center where they train for water polo and rowing ...

ii) Nothing about Money is mentioned - No

iii) Australia is a coastal area but the youngsters are playing 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 -- so there is no clear preference
South Africa is a coastal area but the youngsters are playing in 17 | 20 | 18 | 45 : so there is MORE PREFERENCE for rugby and cricket compared to water sports.

So this coastal area is AGAINST water sports

Hence No

The competition mod is off now.

OA is

Would help explain, Would help explain, and Would not help explain

45% plays cricket in South Africa which is greater than any other sports in SA so would help explain.

Australia is a coastal country but still, it has an almost equal proportion of sports interest while there is a different story for New Zealand so would not help explain

Good luck with the upcoming questions

What is the source of this question. I seriously doubt the answers and explanation. 
Kindly review

I've seen many worse quant & DI questions on this forum. But this one has surpassed all past records of having poor quality.
