    According to given bar graph in question ,
    The deficit in 1992-93 = 3600
    The deficit in 1991-92 = 2600
    Increase = 3600 - 2600 = 1000

    Percentage increase in 1992-93 ⇒
    1000
    		 × 100 ≈ 38%
    2600

    The deficit in 1990-91 = 2800
    The deficit in 1989-90 = 2100
    Increase = 2800 - 2100 = 700
    Percentage increase in 1990-91 ⇒
    700
    		 × 100 ≈ 33.3%
    2100

    The deficit in 1988-89 = 3100
    The deficit in 1987-88 = 2200
    Increase = 3100 - 2200 = 900

    Correct Option: D

    According to given bar graph in question ,
    The deficit in 1992-93 = 3600
    The deficit in 1991-92 = 2600
    Increase = 3600 - 2600 = 1000

    Percentage increase in 1992-93 ⇒
    1000
    		 × 100 ≈ 38%
    2600

    The deficit in 1990-91 = 2800
    The deficit in 1989-90 = 2100
    Increase = 2800 - 2100 = 700
    Percentage increase in 1990-91 ⇒
    700
    		 × 100 ≈ 33.3%
    2100

    The deficit in 1988-89 = 3100
    The deficit in 1987-88 = 2200
    Increase = 3100 - 2200 = 900
    Percentage increase in 1988-89 ⇒
    900
    		 × 100 ≈ 41%
    2200

  1. Percentage increase in deficit in 1993-94 as compared to deficit in 1989-90 was

    According to given bar graph in question ,
    The deficit in 1993-94 = 4200
    The deficit in 1989-90 = 2100
    Increase = 4200 - 2100

    Percentage increase =
    Increase
    		 × 100
    The deficit in 1989-90

    Correct Option: C

    According to given bar graph in question ,
    The deficit in 1993-94 = 4200
    The deficit in 1989-90 = 2100
    Increase = 4200 - 2100

    Percentage increase =
    Increase
    		 × 100
    The deficit in 1989-90

    Percentage increase =
    2100
    		 × 100 = 100%
    2100

  1. The deficit in 1993-94 was roughly how many times the deficit in 1990-91?

    As per the given bar graph in question ,
    The deficit in 1993-94 = 4200
    The deficit in 1990-91 = 2800

    Required answer =
    The deficit in 1993-94
    The deficit in 1990-91

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given bar graph in question ,
    The deficit in 1993-94 = 4200
    The deficit in 1990-91 = 2800

    Required answer =
    The deficit in 1993-94
    The deficit in 1990-91

    ∴ Required answer =
    4200
    		 = 1.5
    2800

Direction: Given here is a graph showing the number of workers with their daily payment by a workshop. Study the graph and answer questions based on this graph.

  1. The total daily payment made to the group which contains 9 workers is (in $)

    According to given bar graph in question ,
    The daily payment made to each worker which contains 9 workers = $ 35
    Required total daily payment = 35 × 9 = $ 315

    Correct Option: B

    According to given bar graph in question ,
    The daily payment made to each worker which contains 9 workers = $ 35
    Required total daily payment = 35 × 9 = $ 315
    Hence , The total daily payment made to the group which contains 9 workers is $ 315 .
