The annual average rainfall in a tropical city is 1000 mm. On a particular rainy day (24-hour period), the cumulative rainfall experienced by the city is shown in the graph. Over the 24-hour period, 50% of the rainfall falling on a rooftop, which had an obstruction-free area of 50 m2, was harvested into a tank. What is the total volume of water collected in the tank in liters?
Ques 9 GATE 2018 SET-2

Ques 13 GATE 2018 SET-2
A probability distribution with right skew is shown in the figure.
The correct answer is Option C - Mean is greater than median and mode.
For any skewed distribution, the relationship between mean, median, and mode follows a predictable pattern based on the direction of the skew. This is one of those facts that''s worth memorizing directly for GATE.
In a right-skewed (positively skewed) distribution, the tail stretches toward the right - meaning there are a few very large values pulling the distribution to the right. The mode sits at the peak (the most frequent value), the median lies slightly to the right of the mode, and the mean gets pulled the furthest right by those extreme high values in the tail.
The order is: Mode < Median < Mean
This directly confirms Option C - the mean is greater than both the median and the mode.
Option A (mean equals mode) is only true for a perfectly symmetric distribution - not a skewed one.
Option B (mean greater than median but less than mode) describes the wrong order - this would imply Mode > Mean, which is the left-skew pattern, not right-skew.
Option D (mode greater than median) is also incorrect for a right-skewed distribution - the mode is actually the smallest of the three here.
