Direction: The bar diagram given below shows the productions (in the unit of thousand pieces) of three types of biscuits by a company in the five consecutive years. Study the diagram and answer the following questions.
-
The difference (in the unit of thousand pieces) between the total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 and the total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996 is
-
- 15
- 25
- 30
- 20
Correct Option: B
According to given bar graph , we have
Total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 = 12.5 + 27.5 + 30 = 70 thousand
Total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996 = 25 + 20 = 45 thousand
Required difference = Total number of cream cracker biscuits manufactured in the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 : Total number of the biscuits of same type in the years 1994 and 1996
∴ Required difference = (70 – 45) thousand = 25 thousand
