    Question

    In an annual cake baking competition, with multiple

    rounds, organized in the Jaipur city, Sudha could not clear the first round for consecutively five years. However, in the sixth year, she managed to win the competition.Which of the following statements, if true, helps to explain the apparent discrepancy above?
    A In his third contest, Sudha's third consecutive failure can be at least partially attributed to the incomplete icing on the cake. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Unlike in the previous five seasons, Sudha added some preservatives to her cake, in the sixth season, in order to preserve it during the long truck drive from Sudha's home to the competition. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Sudha switched in his fifth contest from a blueberry cheesecake cake to a red-velvet cake. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Whereas the first five competitions were held on a Saturday, the sixth was held on a Sunday. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Sudha submitted the same cake in all six seasons. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As per the argument, despite failing in the very first round of the cake competitions for consecutively five seasons, Sudha won it in the sixth season. This can be best explained by option (b), which says that unlike in all previous seasons, Sudha added preservatives in her cake in the sixth season which helped preserving her cake during the long drive to the competition venue from her home. This could have been a possible reason for Sudha's victory in the sixth season.Thus, option (2) is the right answer.
