ITPEC IP October 2018 Question 80
ITPEC IP October 2018 — Question 80 of 100
Company X ranks fourth after applying the criterion weights. Its weighted score is 5*3+3*3+3*4+4*2=44. Company A scores 51, Company B scores 52, and Company C scores 48. Since all three totals exceed 44, X is last among the four companies.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- ranks 1, 2, and 3 would require X to exceed at least one competitor
- the unweighted ratings cannot be compared directly because the criteria have different importance
Key rule: Multiply each rating by its criterion weight, sum the products for each company, and rank the resulting totals from highest to lowest.
