Introduction to Data Interpretation

Direction: The following bar diagram shows the percentage of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims in a state during the years from 2004 to 2007. Examine the bar diagram and answer the following questions.

  1. If the total population of the state in 2004 was 5 lakhs, then the Hindu and Muslim population in that year was
    1. 200000
    2. 275000
    3. 250000
    4. 225000
Correct Option: B

From the given bar diagram , we see
Total population of the state in 2004 = 5 lakhs
Total percent of Hindu and Muslim population of the state in 2004 = 30 + 25 = 55%
Total ( Hindus + Muslims ) population in 2004 = 55% of 5 lakhs

Hindus + Muslims =
500000 × 55
= 275000
