Tip of the Day
Make sure you read the instructions of verbal questions carefully. While instructions do not generally change from year to year, you should be confident and understand clearly when you attempt the question, as to what is expected. It would be useful to be familiar with the standard instructions for each question type, thus reducing the reading time for instructions.
Last year's Question of the day (30-Jul-11)
Various different methods had been used previously, including run-rate ratios, the score that the first team had achieved at the same point in their innings, and targets derived by totaling the best scoring overs in the initial innings. All these methods had flaws that were easily exploitable. For example, run-rate ratios took no account of how many wickets the team batting second had lost, but simply reflected how quickly they were scoring when the match was interrupted; so, if a team felt a rain stoppage was likely, they could attempt to force the scoring rate without regard for the corresponding highly likely loss of wickets, skewing the comparison with the first team.

Which of the following would be an appropriate title for the passage?
OPTIONS
 
 1)The Duckworth-Lewis method for predicting the winner of a cricket match in case of interruption by rainfall.
 2)The earlier methods of predicting scores for the team batting second in a cricket match when it was interrupted.
 3)What happens when a cricket match is interrupted by rainfall.
 4)The problems that ensue when a cricket match is interrupted by rainfall.
 5)Why earlier methods of predicting scores when a match is interrupted during rainfall were discarded.
