  • Simple Happiness index (SHI) of a country is computed on the basis of three parameters: social support (S), freedom to life choices (F) and corruption perception (C). Each of these three parameters

Simple Happiness index (SHI) of a country is computed on the basis of three parameters: social support (S), freedom to life choices (F) and corruption perception (C). Each of these three parameters is measured on a scale of 0 to 8 (integers only). A country is then categorised based on the total score obtained by summing the scores of all the three parameters, as shown in the following table:

    Total Score

    0-4

    5-8

    9-13

    14-19

    20-24

    Category

    very     Unhappy

    Unhappy

    Neutral

    Happy

    very     Happy

Following diagram depicts the frequency distribution of the scores in 5, F and C of 10 countries - Amda, Benga, Calla, Delma, Eppa, versa, wanna, xanda, Yanga and Zooma:

Further, the following are known:
1. Amda and Calla jointly have the lowest total score, 7, with identical scores n all the three parameters.
2. Zooma has a total score of 17.
3. All the 3 countries, which are categorised as happy, have the highest score in exactly one parameter.

The question is asking for Zooma's score in S. We know that Zooma has a total score of 17, and the other two countries in the happy category have the highest score in exactly one parameter. This means that one country has a score of 7 in S, and the other country has a score of 6 in S.

If the country with a score of 7 in S also has a score of 1 in F and 4 in C, then Zooma's score in S must be 6. This is because no other country scored a 6 in S.

If the country with a score of 7 in S has a score of 3 in F and 1 in C, then Zooma's score in S could still be 6. This is because Zooma could have scored a 7 in S, and the other country with a score of 6 in S could have scored a 1 in F and 4 in C.

Therefore, in either case, Zooma's score in S is 6.

Here is a table that summarizes the information:

    Amda

    Cadella

    Zooma

6

Therefore, the answer to the question is 6.
