Hi Nikhil,
This graph shows us three measures of data: the horizontal access is revenue per city, the vertical access is the number of stores per city, and the size of the circles represent the population of the cities themselves.
The first blank asks us to identify the # of stores in the city with the most revenue, relative to other cities. Well, the most revenue is all the way at the right--city K. Number of stores is the vertical access, so B has more stores than city K does. But what about E? Well, the text related to the graph tells us that the center of the circle measures the stats of that city; the letter E in the center is below K. K has exactly one city with more stores, so the correct answer is that the city with the greatest revenue ranks second in the number of stores.
The second blank asks us for the city with the greatest average revenue per resident. Well, K clearly has the most revenue--we've established that. Since every city generates less revenue than K, the only way for another city to have a higher average is to lower the denominator of the fraction. Are there any cities with fewer residents that K?
No! It's hard to tell exactly how big F, G, and C are, they are nearly identical to K--certainly not enough smaller to make up for ~$75,000 in lesser revenues. So, the answer is that K has the greatest revenue per resident.
Average revenue per citizen = total revenue / total number of citizens
revenue is maximum for k , and k has very small number of citizens.Hence, K will have highest average revenue per citizen.
Thanks to everyone for answers! If someone is interested here is a free guide in IR, might be really helpful http://gogmat.com/integrated-reasoning-section-on-gogmat
