Hey rossomondiale — quick heads-up: the OA actually says Statement 2 is Yes, not No! Might be a misread. Let me walk through all three statements so the reasoning is fully clear.
Key concept tested: Graphs and Tables — Multi-Condition Filtering, Counting Decreases, Range Calculation
The most common trap is jumping straight to calculations on Statement 2 without first counting which year had the most decreases. Let's go step by step.
Statement 1 — Yes
Identify the years where Biscuits/Rolls/Muffins posted a negative value: 2012 (−0.1) and 2016 (−1.6).
In both those years, check whether any category other than Frozen Bakery registered an increase. In 2016: Turkey (−1.4), Potatoes (+0.5), Sauces (−1.2), Frozen (+0.1) — Potatoes increased, but the statement says "no other favorite except Frozen registered an increase for ALL these years." Across both 2012 and 2016, Frozen Bakery is the only category that increased in every single one of those years. Statement 1 holds. ✓
Statement 2 — Yes (this is the one causing confusion)
Step 1 — Find which year had the maximum number of decreases across all 5 categories:
- 2014: Turkey (−0.2), Potatoes (−2.1), Frozen (−0.8) → 3 decreases
- 2016: Turkey (−1.4), Sauces (−1.2), Biscuits (−1.6) → 3 decreases
- All other years have at most 2 decreases
Maximum = 3 decreases, shared by 2014 and 2016.
Step 2 — Calculate the average percent decrease in each of those years:
- 2014: (0.2 + 2.1 + 0.8) / 3 = 3.1 / 3 ≈ 1.03% → well under 1.5% ✓
- 2016: (1.4 + 1.2 + 1.6) / 3 = 4.2 / 3 = 1.4% → under 1.5% ✓
Both years satisfy the condition, so Statement 2 is Yes. ✓
Statement 3 — No
Range = Max − Min for each category across all 14 years.
Turkey alone: Max 16.9 (2022), Min −4.9 (2018) → Range = 21.8, which exceeds 20.
One counterexample is all you need. Statement 3 is No. ✓
Takeaway: On G&T questions, always define scope before calculating — "maximum number of decreases" means you must count per year first, then filter down, rather than scanning for big numbers immediately.
