An online e-commerce firm receives daily integer product ratings from 1 through 5 given by buyers. The daily average is the average of the ratings given on that day. The cumulative average is the average of all ratings given on or before that day. The rating system began on Day 1, and the cumulative averages were 3 and 3.1 at the end of Day 1 and Day 2, respectively. The distribution of ratings on Day 2 is given in the figure below. The following information is known about ratings on Day 3.

1. 100 buyers gave product ratings on Day 3.
$$$$
2. The modes of the product ratings were 4 and 5.
$$$$
3. The numbers of buyers giving each product rating are non-zero multiples of 10.
$$$$
4. The same number of buyers gave product ratings of 1 and 2, and that number is half the number of buyers who gave a rating of 3.

The two plots below give the following information about six firms A, B, C, D, E, and F for $2019$ and $2023$.

PAT: The firm's profits after taxes in Rs. crores,

ES: The firm's employee strength, that is the number of employees in the firm, and

PRD: The percentage of the firm's PAT that they spend on Research and Development (R\&D).

In the plots, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of point representing each firm gives their ES and PAT values respectively. The PRD values of each firm are proportional to the areas around the points representing each firm. The areas are comparable between the two plots, i.e., equal areas in the two plots represent the same PRD values for the two years.

Eight gymnastics players numbered 1 through 8 underwent a training camp where they were coached by three coaches - Xena, Yuki, and Zara. Each coach trained at least two players. Yuki trained only even numbered players, while Zara trained only odd numbered players. After the camp, the coaches evaluated the players and gave integer ratings to the respective players trained by them on a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 being the lowest rating and 7 the highest. The following additional information is known.

$$
1. Xena trained more players than Yuki.
$$$$
2. Player-1 and Player-4 were trained by the same coach, while the coaches who trained Player-2, Player-3 and Player-5 were all different.
