Direction: The following graph shows production (in thousands) of two types (P and Q) of vehicles by a factory over the years 2009 to 2014. Study the graph and answer the given questions.

  1. In how many of the given years, was the production of Type P vehicles of the company more than the average production of this type vehicles in the given years?
    1. 3
    2. 4
    3. 2
    4. 5
Correct Option: A

On the basis of given graph in question ,
Sum of production of type P vehicles = 100 + 125 + 200 + 225 + 275 + 275
Total number of given years = 6

Average production of type P vehicles =
Sum of production of type P vehicles
Total number of given years

Average production of type P vehicles =
100 + 125 + 200 + 225 + 275 + 275
6

Average production of type P vehicles =
1200
= 200 thousands
6

The production of Type P vehicles of the company more than the average production of this type vehicles is 200 thousands .
So , Required years ⇒ 2012, 2013 and 2014
Hence , required answer is 3 .
