    Cost of Wheat = $ 156

    Correct Option: B

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Total Wheat import in March = 36 tonnes
    Cost of Wheat = $ 156
    Required cost of wheat = 36 × 156 = $ 5616

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Potato import in February = 33 tonnes
    Potato import in March = 33 tonnes
    Cost of potato = $ 120

    Required average price =
    1
    		(33 × 120 × + 33 × 120)
    2

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Potato import in February = 33 tonnes
    Potato import in March = 33 tonnes
    Cost of potato = $ 120

    Required average price =
    1
    		(33 × 120 × + 33 × 120)
    2

    Required average price =
    1
    		 × 120 × 66 = $ 3960

  1. What is the ratio of companies having more demand than production to those having more production than demand?








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Number of companies having more demand than production ( A , C and E companies ) = 3
    Number of companies having more production than demand ( B and D companies ) = 2
    Required ratio = Number of companies having more demand than production : Number of companies having more production than demand

    Correct Option: D

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Number of companies having more demand than production ( A , C and E companies ) = 3
    Number of companies having more production than demand ( B and D companies ) = 2
    Required ratio = Number of companies having more demand than production : Number of companies having more production than demand
    ∴ Required ratio = 3 : 2

  1. The average production of the companies A, B, C and that of the companies D, E are in the ratio :








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Total production of the companies A, B and C = 1500 + 1800 + 1000
    Number of companies A, B and C = 3
    Total production of the companies D and E = 2700 + 2200
    Number of companies D and E = 2
    Required ratio = Average production of the companies A, B and C : Average production of the companies D and E

    Correct Option: B

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Total production of the companies A, B and C = 1500 + 1800 + 1000
    Number of companies A, B and C = 3
    Total production of the companies D and E = 2700 + 2200
    Number of companies D and E = 2
    Required ratio = Average production of the companies A, B and C : Average production of the companies D and E
    Required ratio
    Required ratio = 2 × 4300 : 4900 × 3 = 86 : 147
