Discussion

Explanation:

Considering the sector-wise sums of Mergers and Acquisitions and Mergers, the following relation must be considered.

$\frac{\mathrm{Total} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Mergers} \mathrm{for} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{sector}}{\mathrm{Total} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{Merger} \mathrm{and} \mathrm{Acquisitions} \mathrm{for} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{sector}}$ ≥ 0.2

It can be expressed as, 5(Total number of Mergers for the sector) ≥ (Total number of Mergers and Acquisitions for the sector)

The above relation is satisfied for 5 sectors i.e. Food and Beverages, Textile, Drugs and Pharma, Financial Services and Other Services.

Hence, option (d).

Note:

It can be seen that the acquisitions table was not required for this question. Hence, this question could have been attempted even without constructing the acquisitions table.
