    According to question , we seen in above bar graph
    Number of students who obtained 0 - 10 marks = 2
    Number of students who obtained 10 - 20 marks = 6
    Number of students who obtained 20 - 30 marks = 10

    Correct Option: C

    According to question , we seen in above bar graph
    Number of students who obtained 0 - 10 marks = 2
    Number of students who obtained 10 - 20 marks = 6
    Number of students who obtained 20 - 30 marks = 10
    Total number of failures = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18

    As per the given bar graph , we see
    Number of students who obtained 50 - 60 marks = 4
    Number of students who obtained 60- 70 marks = 7
    Number of students who obtained 70 - 80 marks = 5

    Correct Option: D

    As per the given bar graph , we see
    Number of students who obtained 50 - 60 marks = 4
    Number of students who obtained 60- 70 marks = 7
    Number of students who obtained 70 - 80 marks = 5
    Required total number of students = 4 + 7 + 5 = 16



Direction: The following bar-diagram shows total number of males and females in five different organisations. Study it carefully to answer the questions.

  1. What is the ratio of average number of females from the organisations A, B and C to the average number of males from the organisations C, D and E?

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Total number of females from the organisations A, B and C = 3000 + 3500 + 4000 = 10500
    Total number of males from the organisations C, D and E = 4700 + 2250 + 3250 = 10200
    Number of given organisation = 3
    Required ratio = Average number of females from the organisations A, B and C : Average number of males from the organisations C, D and E

    Required ratio =
    Total number of females from the organisations A, B and C
    :
    Total number of males from the organisations C, D and E
    Number of given organisationNumber of given organisation

    Correct Option: E

    From the given bar diagram , we see

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Number of males from organisations A and B = 3500 + 4500 = 8000
    Total number of males from organisations C, D and E = 4700 + 2250 + 3250 = 10200

    Required percent =
    Number of males from organisations A and B
    × 100
    Total number of males from organisations C, D and E

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Number of males from organisations A and B = 3500 + 4500 = 8000
    Total number of males from organisations C, D and E = 4700 + 2250 + 3250 = 10200

    Required percent =
    Number of males from organisations A and B
    × 100
    Total number of males from organisations C, D and E

    Required percent =
    8000
    × 100 ≈ 78.4
