With reference to this table, a statistician has proposed the followin

Lets go Category wise from lowest to highest: Typical Countries.
Land Area: Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Northern Territory,Queensland, Western Australia.
Population: Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales.
Population Density: Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory.
% of Population in capital: Tasmania, Queensland, Northern Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia,South Australia, Australian Capital Territory.

Now 25% of 8 = 2.
1. New South Wales is typical in more categories than any other listed state/territory.
Now we can see from above that New South Wales, is typical only in Population, so
Answer No..

I think the OA for 2nd should also be No, since New South Wales is geographically typical equal as compared to South Australia.
SajjadAhmad, kindly correct me if I am wrong.
2. No listed state/territory is more geographically typical than South Australia.
As we can see that New South wales is equally typical, so
Answer - No.


3. The Australian Capital Territory is not typical in any of the categories.
As we can in the data in bold above, we can see that Australian Capital Territory is not typical in any of the categories, so
Answer - Yes

Very Interesting Set, Kudos for that one. Answers as No, Yes and Yes

Logic Building :
1) 25% means 2 states on each side
2) There are 8 states, so typical means 3-6th positions in that category.



Statement 1 : New South Wales is typical in more categories than any other listed state/territory.
We check the 1st category: 4th place : typical
2nd category: 8th place : not typical
3rd category: 6th place: typical
4th category: 4th place: typical.
So 3 categories. We quickly check other territories and reject those who are not typical in at least 2 categories. After this South Australia is also typical in 3 categories.

Statement 2 : No listed state/territory is more geographically typical than South Australia.

From the first statement, we know that SA is equally typical in 3 categories. The wording states that SA should be maximum and it is (even though it shares that spot with South Wales

Statement 3 : The Australian Capital Territory is not typical in any of the categories.
On a quick glance, we see that ACT is always in the highest/lowest places. So this is true.

1)No,In terms of Land area New South Wales is on 4th rank,
In terms of Population New South Wales is on 8th rank,
In terms of Population density New South Wales is on 5th rank,
In terms of % population New South Wales is on 4th rank,

So it is typical in 3 categories but South Australia is also typical in 3 categories

B)Yes,since South Wales is equal in terms of that criteria

C)Yes,Since Australian capital territory is twice in top 2 and twice in bottom 2 so it is not typical
