    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Production of Haryana of rice = 2 million tonnes
    Total production of rice = 7 + 8 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 24 million tonnes

    Haryana’s share =
    Production of Haryana of rice
    Total production of rice

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Production of Haryana of rice = 2 million tonnes
    Total production of rice = 7 + 8 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 24 million tonnes

    Haryana’s share =
    Production of Haryana of rice
    Total production of rice

    Haryana’s share =
    2
    =
    1

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Number of Science students in 2007-08 = 500
    Number of Science students in 2006-07 = 450
    Increase = 500 - 450 = 50

    Percentage increase in Science students =
    Increase
    × 100
    Number of Science students in 2006-07

    Percentage increase in Science students =
    50
    × 100
    450

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Number of Science students in 2007-08 = 500
    Number of Science students in 2006-07 = 450
    Increase = 500 - 450 = 50

    Percentage increase in Science students =
    Increase
    × 100
    Number of Science students in 2006-07

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total number of students in arts = 600 + 550 + 550 + 700 = 2400
    Total number of students in commerce = 200 + 250 + 300 + 250 = 1000
    Number of given years = 4
    Required Ratio = Average number of students in Arts : Average number of students in commerce

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total number of students in arts = 600 + 550 + 550 + 700 = 2400
    Total number of students in commerce = 200 + 250 + 300 + 250 = 1000
    Number of given years = 4
    Required Ratio = Average number of students in Arts : Average number of students in commerce

    Required Ratio =
    2400
    :
    1000
    44

    Required Ratio = 24 : 10 = 12 : 5
