The management of a university hockey team was evaluating performance ...
Analysis:
To find the correct sequence of goals scored in matches 1, 3, 5, and 7, we need to carefully analyze the given facts about the goals scored by Amla, Bimla, Harita, and Sarita.

Given Facts:
1. Only one goal was scored in every even numbered match.
2. Harita scored more goals than Bimla.
3. The highest goal scorer scored goals in exactly 3 matches including Match 4 and Match 8.
4. Bimla scored a goal in Match 1 and one each in three other consecutive matches.
5. An equal number of goals were scored in Match 3 and Match 7, which was different from the number of goals scored in either Match 1 or Match 5.
6. The match in which the highest number of goals was scored was unique and it was not Match 5.

Solution:
- From fact 1, we know that only one goal was scored in even numbered matches. So, the goals in matches 2, 4, 6, and 8 are 1 each.
- From fact 4, Bimla scored in Match 1 and three other consecutive matches. So, Bimla scored 4 goals in total.
- From fact 3, the highest goal scorer scored in exactly 3 matches including Match 4 and Match 8. So, the highest scorer scored 2 goals in matches 4 and 8.
- From fact 5, Harita must have scored in Matches 3 and 7, as these matches have equal goals and are different from Matches 1 and 5.
- From fact 2, Harita scored more goals than Bimla. So, Harita scored at least 2 goals.

Sequence:
- Amla: 0 goals
- Bimla: 4 goals (Matches 1, 2, 3, 4)
- Harita: 2 goals (Matches 3, 7)
- Sarita: 2 goals (Matches 6, 8)
Therefore, the correct sequence of goals scored in matches 1, 3, 5, and 7 is 4, 1, 2, 1, which corresponds to option 'A'.

Question: Analyse the following passage and provide an appropriate answer for the questions that follow.Formation of focal brand expectations is a well-accepted part of the pre-purchase choice process. However, whether these same expectations are the standard for post-choice performance evaluation has been questioned. There is very little theoretical justification for consumers using focal brand expectations to judge performance after purchase. Customer satisfaction/dissatisfaction is more likely to be determined by how well a consumer perceives that focal brand performance fulfils needs, wants, or desires.Importantly, there is no necessary relationship between prepurchase focal brand expectations and the performance required to meet those wants. Thus, consumers are very likely to use other kinds of performance standards in the post-purchase evaluation. Consumers are likely to rely on standards that reflect the performance a consumer believes a focal brand should provide to meet needs/wants. To distinguish these standards from the usual expectations concept, we call them "experience-based norms." These norms have two important characteristics: (1) they reflect desired performance in meeting needs/wants and (2) they are constrained by the performance consumers believe is possible as indicated by the performance of known brands. The second characteristic requires elaboration. Though consumers may imagine some abstract ideal performance that a brand should provide, they also have concrete experiences with various real brands and their performance. Because consumers are more likely to think in concrete rather than abstract terms, experience with real brands should set limits on the performance a consumer believes the focal brand should provide. Consumers may derive a norm from experience with known brands in at least two different ways. First, the norm might be the typical performance of a particular brand - e.g., a consumer's most preferred brand, a popular brand, or last-purchased brand.Importantly, this brand may not be the focal brand. For example, when evaluating the dining experience in a new restaurant, a consumer may apply a norm that is the typical performance of another, favourite restaurant. Interestingly, focal brand expectations may correspond to this norm, but only if the focal brand is also the brand from which the standard is derived, such as when a consumer dines in his or her favourite restaurant. In all other cases, the norm is necessarily different from expectations because the norm is derived from experience with a different brand. A second possibility is that the norm might be an average performance a consumer believes is typical of a group of similar brands — a product-based norm. This kind of norm may be reasonable when no one brand stands out in the consumer's mind and the consumer has experience with many brands. In general, the experience-based norms concept is significant because it suggests that past research may have attached unwarranted importance to focal brand expectations as the standard of performance influencing feelings of satisfaction.Which of the following statements, if true, would contradict the second characteristic of “experience-based norms”?
