    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Number of Science students in 2007-08 = 500
    Number of Science students in 2006-07 = 450
    Increase = 500 - 450 = 50

    Percentage increase in Science students =
    Increase
    × 100
    Number of Science students in 2006-07

    Percentage increase in Science students =
    50
    × 100
    450

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Number of Science students in 2007-08 = 500
    Number of Science students in 2006-07 = 450
    Increase = 500 - 450 = 50

    Percentage increase in Science students =
    Increase
    × 100
    Number of Science students in 2006-07

    Percentage increase in Science students =
    50
    × 100

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total number of students in arts = 600 + 550 + 550 + 700 = 2400
    Total number of students in commerce = 200 + 250 + 300 + 250 = 1000
    Number of given years = 4
    Required Ratio = Average number of students in Arts : Average number of students in commerce

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total number of students in arts = 600 + 550 + 550 + 700 = 2400
    Total number of students in commerce = 200 + 250 + 300 + 250 = 1000
    Number of given years = 4
    Required Ratio = Average number of students in Arts : Average number of students in commerce

    Required Ratio =
    2400
    :
    1000

    Required Ratio = 24 : 10 = 12 : 5



Direction: Study the following graph and answer the given questions

  1. What was the difference between the average amount invested in raw materials during the given period and the average value of sales of finished goods during this period?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Total amount invested in raw materials in given years = 120 + 225 + 375 + 330 + 252 + 420 = 1995
    Number of given years = 6

    Average of total investment =
    Total amount invested in raw materials in given years
    Number of given years

    Average of total investment =
    1995
    = $ 332.5 lakhs
    6

    Total value of sales of finished goods in given years = 200 + 300 + 500 + 400 + 600 + 460 = 2460
    Number of given years = 6
    Average value of sales =
    Total value of sales of finished goods in given years
    Number of given years

    Correct Option: D

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Total amount invested in raw materials in given years = 120 + 225 + 375 + 330 + 252 + 420 = 1995
    Number of given years = 6

    Average of total investment =
    Total amount invested in raw materials in given years
    Number of given years

    Average of total investment =
    1995
    = $ 332.5 lakhs
    6

    Total value of sales of finished goods in given years = 200 + 300 + 500 + 400 + 600 + 460 = 2460
    Number of given years = 6
    Average value of sales =
    Total value of sales of finished goods in given years
    Number of given years

    Average value of sales =
    2460
    = $ 410 lakhs
    6

    Difference = Average value of sales - Average of total investment
    Difference = 410 – 332.5 = 77.5 lakh
