For how many sectors merger activity (measured by number of mergers) is more in the first 3 years as compared to the last 3 years?
Explanation:
This is completely an observation based question. The values for each sector from the first three columns and the last three columns of the ‘Mergers’ table only need to be considered. If the sum of the values of the first three columns is higher than that of the last columns, that sector showed greater merger activity in the first three years. If each individual value for a sector in a year is greater for the first three years than for the last three years, then the sums also need not be calculated.
It can be seen that the values increased for 5 sectors including Food and Beverages, IT and Telecom, Diversified, Financial Services and Other Services.
Hence, option (d).
