that, among any two persons, a person would have a
numerically lower (i.e., a better) consolidated rank
than the other, if his rank is numerically lower than
that of the other in at least three of the four indices, At
this stage, among any two persons, if one persons has
a numerically lower rank than the other in exactly two
of the indices, then the two persons are’ said to be tied.
In case of a tie between two persons, the sum of the
numerical values of their ranks is considered and the
person for whom the, numerical value of this sum is
lower is ranked numerically lower, when compared to
the, other person. If even at this stage, the sums so
obtained are equal, then the person with a numerically
lower Happiness Index is finally ranked numerically
lower, when compared to the other person.
