QUESTION 1: Every hall opened before 1900 has seating capacity under 2000 or an average ticket price below $70.For convenience i am naming each hall by their First letter of each word. The halls which are opened before 1900 and their year of opening is given below.
VM(1870), RAH(1871), and CH (1891) respectively. Let’s look into their seating capacity and Average ticket prices:
VM (1870) - 1744 - $95
RAH (1871) - 5272 - $65
CH (1891) - 2804 - $85
In question it’s mentioned that the halls have either a seating capacity of LESS than 2000 OR Average Ticket Price < $70
VM (1870) qualifies as it has a seating capacity of 1744 which is less than 2000.
RAH (1871) qualifies as its average ticket price $65 is below $70.
CH (1891) fail to qualify on both conditions as 2804 > 2000 and $85 > $70.
Hence,
NO. QUESTION 2: Among halls with acoustic rating at least 9 and seating capacity above 2000, the oldest hall charges less on average than the newest hall.The halls which has an acoustic rating of at least 9 are :
CH, BP, WDCH, VM and E respectively.
Amongst these except for VM which has a seating capacity of 1744, all other halls has seating capacity> 2000.
The year of opening for these halls are : CH (1891), BP (1963) , WDCH (2003) , VM not eligible, E(2017).
The oldest hall is
CH (1891) and the newest hall is
E (2017). Their respective charges are $85 and $100 respectively.
Clearly, the oldest hall CH (1891) charging $85 is LESSER THAN the newest hall E(2017) - $100.
Hence,
YES. QUESTION 3: No hall opened before 1950 and priced under $90 has an acoustic rating of 10.The halls opened before 1950 are given below with their year of opening and Aversge Ticket Price:
CH (1891, $85)
VM (1870, $95)
RAH (1871, $65)
When applying the criteria of price under $90, ONLY CH (1891, $85) and RAH (1871, $65) qualifies.
When we look into the acoustic ratings of RAH (1871, $65) its 7 . And, the acoustic rating of CH (1891, $85) is 9 .
Both, are below 10.
Hence,
YES
