Bar graph


Direction: Study the following graph carefully to answer the questions that follow : Distance (in Km) traveled by 5 different trucks in a day.

  1. What is the average distance traveled by all the trucks together?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Required Average distance covered by all the trucks = Total distance covered by all the trucks
    Total number of the trucks

    Correct Option: D

    Given in the bar graph :-
    Distance traveled by Trucks A = 475 , B = 350, C = 550, D = 425, E = 575,
    Total distance covered by all the trucks = 475 + 350 + 550 + 425 + 575 = 2375 Km
    Total number of the trucks = 5

    Required Average distance covered by all the trucks = Total distance covered by all the trucks
    Total number of the trucks

    Required Average distance covered by all the trucks = 2375= 475
    5


  1. The distance travelled by Truck E is approximately what percent of the total distance travelled by Track B and C together?

    Required percentage = Total distance covered by Ex 100 %
    Total distance covered by B and C together

    Correct Option: D

    As per given graph , we can see that
    Total distance covered by E = 575 Km , Total distance covered by B and C together = 350 + 550 = 900 Km

    Required percentage = Total distance covered by Ex 100 %
    Total distance covered by B and C together

    = 575x 100 ≈ 64% ≈ 62 %
    900



  1. What is the ratio of the distance traveled by Truck A to the distance traveled by Truck D?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Required ratio = The distance traveled by Truck A : The distance traveled by Truck D

    Correct Option: C

    As per given above graph , we have
    The distance traveled by Truck A = 475
    The distance traveled by Truck Truck D = 425
    Required ratio = The distance traveled by Truck A : The distance traveled by Truck D
    Required ratio = 475 : 425 = 19 : 17


  1. If the time taken by Truck C to cover the given distance was 8 hours, what was the average speed of the truck?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Required average speed = Total distance traveled by truck C
    Total time taken by truck C

    Correct Option: D

    Given :- Total distance traveled by truck C = 550
    Time taken by truck C = 8 hours

    Required average speed = Total distance traveled by truck C
    Total time taken by truck C

    Required average speed = 550= 68.75 Km/h
    8



  1. If Truck A covered the given distance at the average speed of 47.5 Km/h, what was the time taken by it to cover this distance?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Required Time taken = Total distance covered by A
    Average speed

    Correct Option: B

    As per given graphs and question,
    Total distance covered by A = 475 Km
    Average Speed = 47.5 Km/h

    Required Time taken = Total distance covered by A
    Average speed

    Required Time taken = 475= 10 hours
    47.5
