Three Prominent Institutes of Management (PIMs): PIM X, PIM Y and PIM Z select students for their post
graduate programmes by judging them on various parameters. They conduct an Admission Test (AT),
followed by Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). They consider the scores of the students
in AT, GD and PI along with some other parameters. The relative weights of these parameters in the
selection criteria of the PIMs are shown in the following bar chart. The maximum score in AT, GD, PI and
other parameters is 100, 50, 50 and 50 respectively. All weightages are in integral multiples of 5%. Marks
obtained by a few students in these parameters are compiled in the table given below.

Coach John sat with the score cards of Indian players from the 3 games in a one-day cricket tournament
where the same set of players played for India and all the major batsmen got out. John summarized the
batting performance through three diagrams, one for each game. In each diagram, the three outer triangles
communicate the number of runs scored by the three top scores from India, where K, R, S, V, and Y
represent Kaif, Rahul, Saurav, Virender, and Yuvraj respectively. The middle triangle in each diagram denotes
the percentage of the total score that was scored by the top three Indian scorers in that game. No two
players score the same number of runs in the same game. John also calculated two batting indices for
each player based on his scores in the tournaments; the R-index of a batsman is the difference between
his highest and lowest scores in the 3 games while the M-index is the middle number, if his scores are
arranged in a non-increasing order.
