The two plots below give the following information about six firms A, B, C, D, E, and F for 2019 and 2023.
PAT: The firm’s profits after taxes in Rs. crores,
ES: The firm’s employee strength, that is the number of employees in the firm, and
PRD: The percentage of the firm’s PAT that they spend on Research and Development (R&D).
In the plots, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of point representing each firm gives their ES and PAT values respectively. The PRD values of each firm are proportional to the areas around the points representing each firm. The areas are comparable between the two plots, i.e., equal areas in the two plots represent the same PRD values for the two years.

Five countries engage in trade with each other. Each country levies import tariffs on the other countries. The import tariff levied by Country X on Country Y is calculated by multiplying the corresponding tariff percentage with the total imports of Country X from Country Y.
The radar chart depicts different import tariff percentages charged by each of the five countries on the others. For example, US (the blue line in the chart) charges 20%, 40%, 30%, and 30% import tariff percentages on imports from France, India, Japan, and UK, respectively. The bar chart depicts the import tariffs levied by each country on other countries. For example, US charged import tariff of 3 billion USD on UK.
Assume that imports from one country to another equals the exports from the latter to the former.
The trade surplus of Country X with Country Y is defined as follows: Trade surplus = Exports from Country X to Country Y - Imports to Country X from Country Y.
A negative trade surplus is called trade deficit.

Japan's export to India would be the same as India's import from Japan.
Option A) Exports by Japan to the UK would be the same as the UK's imports from Japan.
Trade surplus/trade deficit of India with the UK = Exports from India to the UK - Imports from India to the UK
For France - Trade surplus/trade deficit of France with the US = Exports from France to the US - Imports from the US to FranceInstructions
Anirbid, Chandranath, Koushik, and Suranjan participated in a puzzle solving competition. The competition comprised 10 puzzles that had to be solved in the same sequence, i.e., a competitor got access to a puzzle as soon as they solved the previous puzzle. Some of the puzzles were visual puzzles and the others were number-based puzzles. The winner of the competition was the one who solved all puzzles in the least time.
The charts describe their progress. The chart on the left shows the number of puzzles solved by each competitor at a given time (in minutes) after the start of the competition. The chart on the right shows the number of visual puzzles solved by each competitor at a given time (in minutes) after the start of the competition.
