We can't draw any conclusion with out any information from given statment.We are not getting how many spinners are there in the team and we don't know who are the opening batsman. So the option D is correct.

Hi friends.
In the question, it is given that 160 runs are made by spinners. So number of spinners could be anything. For example even 2 spinners in the team might have scored 160 runs. This does not mean that there are 80 percent of spinners. So option 1 does not follow. Neither option 2 follows as opening batsmen might have not scored and in the end spinners might have scored runs. So option D is correct. Hope all of you might have understood.

Correct ans is (d). Because there is nothing in the statement which conclude that 2 men or 2 women danced with same number of men or women. It may possible that every man danced with single single woman.
