Introduction to Data Interpretation

Direction: Student strengths of a college in Arts, Science and Commerce from 2004-2005 to 2007-2008 session are shown in the following bar graph. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.

  1. Percentage increase in total number of students in 2007-2008 session over that in 2004-2005 session is approximately
    1. 29.71
    2. 25.65
    3. 10.56
    4. 20.83
Correct Option: D

As per the given bar graph , we have
Total number of students in session 2004-05 ⇒ 600 + 400 + 200 = 1200
Total number of students in session 2007-08 ⇒ 700 + 500 + 250 = 1450
Total increase = 1450 - 1200 = 250

Percentage increase = Total increase × 100
Total number of students in session 2004-05

Percentage increase = 250 × 100 = 20.83%
1200
