    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of girls ate 2 servings per day = 15
    Number of girls ate 1 servings per day = 10
    Required number of girls = Number of girls ate 2 servings per day + Number of girls ate 1 servings per day

    Correct Option: C

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of girls ate 2 servings per day = 15
    Number of girls ate 1 servings per day = 10
    Required number of girls = Number of girls ate 2 servings per day + Number of girls ate 1 servings per day
    Required number of girls = 15 + 10 = 25
    Therefore , Required number of girls is 25 .

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Sum of marks of Hindi and English = 70 + 40
    Number of subjects = 2

    Required average =
    Sum of marks of Hindi and English
    Number of subjects

    Correct Option: C

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Sum of marks of Hindi and English = 70 + 40
    Number of subjects = 2

    Required average =
    Sum of marks of Hindi and English
    Number of subjects

    Required average =
    70 + 40
    =
    110
    = 55

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The marks of Maths = 80
    and the marks of History = 60
    Required ratio = The marks of Maths : The marks of History

    Correct Option: D

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The marks of Maths = 80
    and the marks of History = 60
    Required ratio = The marks of Maths : The marks of History
    ∴ Required ratio = 80 : 60 = 4 : 3

    According to given bar graph , we have
    The production of potatoes in 2004 = 1240
    The production of potatoes in 2003 = 1640
    Change in production = The production of potatoes in 2003 - The production of potatoes in 2004 = 1640 - 1240 = 400

    Percent rate of decline in year 2004 =
    Change in production
    × 100
    The production of potatoes in 2003

    Percent rate of decline in year 2004 =
    400
    × 100
    1640

    The production of potatoes in 2002 = 720
    The production of potatoes in 2001 = 1085
    Change in production = The production of potatoes in 2001 - The production of potatoes in 2002 = 1085 - 720 = 365
    Percent rate of decline in year 2002 =
    Change in production
    × 100
    The production of potatoes in 2001

    Correct Option: C

    According to given bar graph , we have
    The production of potatoes in 2004 = 1240
    The production of potatoes in 2003 = 1640
    Change in production = The production of potatoes in 2003 - The production of potatoes in 2004 = 1640 - 1240 = 400

    Percent rate of decline in year 2004 =
    Change in production
    × 100
    The production of potatoes in 2003

    Percent rate of decline in year 2004 =
    400
    × 100
    1640

    The production of potatoes in 2002 = 720
    The production of potatoes in 2001 = 1085
    Change in production = The production of potatoes in 2001 - The production of potatoes in 2002 = 1085 - 720 = 365
    Percent rate of decline in year 2002 =
    Change in production
    × 100
    The production of potatoes in 2001

    Percent rate of decline in year 2002 =
    365
    × 100 = 33.64%
    1085



  1. Considering the average production during this period, the number of years in which the production is above average is :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    As per the given bar graph ,
    Sum of the production of potatoes = 1244 + 1085 + 720 + 1640 + 1240 + 1345 + 1560 = 8834
    Number of given years = 7

    Average production =
    Sum of the production of potatoes
    Number of given years

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given bar graph ,
    Sum of the production of potatoes = 1244 + 1085 + 720 + 1640 + 1240 + 1345 + 1560 = 8834
    Number of given years = 7

    Average production =
    Sum of the production of potatoes
    Number of given years

    Average production =
    8834
    = 1262 quintals
    7

    Years of more than average production = 2003, 2005 and 2006 .
    Hence , required answer is 3.
