According to given bar graph , we have
Total demand of the five companies = 3300 + 1200 + 3000 + 600 + 2500 = 10600
Total production of the five companies = 2200 + 2700 + 1500 + 1800 + 1000 = 9200
Number of given companies = 5Required difference = Total demand of the five companies - Total production of the five companies Number of given companies Number of given companies
Correct Option: C
According to given bar graph , we have
Total demand of the five companies = 3300 + 1200 + 3000 + 600 + 2500 = 10600
Total production of the five companies = 2200 + 2700 + 1500 + 1800 + 1000 = 9200
Number of given companies = 5Required difference = Total demand of the five companies - Total production of the five companies Number of given companies Number of given companies Required difference = 10600 - 9200 5 5
Required difference = 2120 – 1840 = 280
- The ratio of the number of companies having more demand than production to the companies having more production than demand, is

From the given bar diagram , we see
Number of companies having more demand than production ( In A, C and E companies ) = 3
Number of companies having more production than demand ( In B and D companies ) = 2
Required ratio = Number of companies having more demand than production : Number of companies having more production than demandCorrect Option: D
From the given bar diagram , we see
Number of companies having more demand than production ( In A, C and E companies ) = 3
Number of companies having more production than demand ( In B and D companies ) = 2
Required ratio = Number of companies having more demand than production : Number of companies having more production than demand
Required ratio = 3 : 2
