Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Basalt can't be an answer because according to IUGS classification of volcanic igneous rocks, Basalt won't contain any quartz. Basalt will always contain feldspathoids. You can also note in the classification Diagram that basalt is in the lower half (towards the feldspathoid side) of the diagram so it shouldn't contain any quartz. However in the question data, quartz is present (2%), so it will never be a basalt according to IUGS classification.
