Finding Skills Across Sports: Analyzing Player Information
The question asks us to identify which person is good in three specific sports: Hockey, Cricket, and Volleyball. We are given information about several individuals and the sports they are proficient in. To solve this, we need to consolidate the information for each person and then check who matches the required combination of skills.
Let's list the skills attributed to each person based on the statements:
- Anil is good in Hockey and Volleyball.
- Suresh is good in Hockey and Baseball.
- Gopal is good in Cricket and Volleyball.
- Kamal is good in Hockey and Volleyball. (This is repeated information from the first statement, but for Kamal)
- Suresh is good in Football and Baseball. (This adds Football to Suresh's skills)
- Gopal is good in Football and Baseball. (This adds Football and Baseball to Gopal's skills)
- Mahesh is good in Football and Baseball.
Now, let's summarize the sports each person is good at:
| Person | Sports Proficient In |
|---|---|
| Anil | Hockey, Volleyball, Baseball |
| Kamal | Hockey, Volleyball, Cricket |
| Suresh | Hockey, Baseball, Football |
| Gopal | Cricket, Volleyball, Football, Baseball |
| Mahesh | Football, Baseball |
We are looking for the person who is good in Hockey, Cricket, and Volleyball. Let's check each person's summary against this requirement:
- Anil: Good in Hockey (Yes), Cricket (No), Volleyball (Yes). Anil is missing Cricket.
- Kamal: Good in Hockey (Yes), Cricket (Yes), Volleyball (Yes). Kamal possesses all three required skills.
- Suresh: Good in Hockey (Yes), Cricket (No), Volleyball (No). Suresh is missing Cricket and Volleyball.
- Gopal: Good in Hockey (No), Cricket (Yes), Volleyball (Yes). Gopal is missing Hockey.
- Mahesh: Good in Hockey (No), Cricket (No), Volleyball (No). Mahesh is missing all three required skills.
Based on this analysis, Kamal is the only person who is good in Hockey, Cricket, and Volleyball.
Revision Table: Confirming Sports Skills
| Person | Good in Hockey? | Good in Cricket? | Good in Volleyball? | Meets Criteria? (Hockey, Cricket, Volleyball) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anil | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Kamal | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Suresh | Yes | No | No | No |
| Gopal | No | Yes | Yes | No |
| Mahesh | No | No | No | No |
The table clearly shows that only Kamal satisfies the condition of being good in Hockey, Cricket, and Volleyball.
Additional Information: Data Interpretation Skills
This type of question tests your ability to carefully read and interpret given information. It requires you to organize the data effectively to answer a specific query. Often, consolidating overlapping information and presenting it clearly (like in a table or list) can make the solution process much simpler. These skills are crucial for various reasoning and analytical tasks, including understanding complex scenarios and making informed decisions based on available facts. Practice with similar data interpretation problems can improve speed and accuracy in competitive exams.
