    According to given bar graph , we have
    The production of State C in 2003- 2004 = 6
    The production of State C in 2005- 2006 = 15

    Required answer =
    The production of State C in 2003- 2004
    The production of State C in 2005- 2006

    Correct Option: D

    According to given bar graph , we have
    The production of State C in 2003- 2004 = 6
    The production of State C in 2005- 2006 = 15

    Required answer =
    The production of State C in 2003- 2004
    The production of State C in 2005- 2006

    Required answer =
    6
    = 0.4
    15

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Sum of demand of companies B and D = 1200 + 600 = 1800
    Number of companies = 2

    Average demand of companies B and D =
    Sum of demand of companies B and D
    =
    1800
    = 900
    Number of companies2

    Sum of production of companies B and D = 2700 + 1800 = 4500
    Number of companies = 2
    Average production of companies B and D =
    Sum of production of companies B and D
    Number of companies

    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Sum of demand of companies B and D = 1200 + 600 = 1800
    Number of companies = 2

    Average demand of companies B and D =
    Sum of demand of companies B and D
    =
    1800
    = 900
    Number of companies2

    Sum of production of companies B and D = 2700 + 1800 = 4500
    Number of companies = 2
    Average production of companies B and D =
    Sum of production of companies B and D
    Number of companies

    Average production of companies B and D =
    4500
    = 2250
    2

    ∴ Required ratio = 900 : 2250 = 2 : 5


  1. Demand of company D is approximately what percent of demand of company E ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Demand of company D = 600
    Demand of company E = 2500

    Required percentage =
    Demand of company D
    × 100
    Demand of company E

    Correct Option: C

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Demand of company D = 600
    Demand of company E = 2500

    Required percentage =
    Demand of company D
    × 100
    Demand of company E

    Required percentage =
    600
    × 100 = 24%
    2500


  1. What is the difference between average demand and average production of the five companies taken together?

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total demand = 3300 + 1200 + 3000 + 600 + 2500
    Number of companies = 5

    Average demand =
    3300 + 1200 + 3000 + 600 + 2500
    5

    Average demand =
    10600
    = 2120
    5

    Total production = 2200 + 2700 + 1500 + 1800 + 1000
    Number of companies = 5
    Average production =
    2200 + 2700 + 1500 + 1800 + 1000
    5

    Correct Option: C

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total demand = 3300 + 1200 + 3000 + 600 + 2500
    Number of companies = 5

    Average demand =
    3300 + 1200 + 3000 + 600 + 2500
    5

    Average demand =
    10600
    = 2120
    5

    Total production = 2200 + 2700 + 1500 + 1800 + 1000
    Number of companies = 5
    Average production =
    2200 + 2700 + 1500 + 1800 + 1000
    5

    Average production =
    9200
    = 1840
    5

    &there; Required difference = Average demand : Average production
    &there; Required difference = 2120 – 1840 = 280
