As per the given bar graph in question ,
Total production of salt from 2001 to 2008 = 40 + 30 + 70 + 25 + 55 + 50 + 80 + 90 = 440 × 1000 tonnes = 440000
Number of years from 2001 to 2008 = 8Average production = Total production of salt from 2001 to 2008 tonnes Number of years from 2001 to 2008 Average production = (40 + 30 + 70 + 25 + 55 + 50 + 80 + 90) × 1000 tonnes 8
Correct Option: C

Years having more production than it = 2003, 2007 and 2008

On the basis of given graph in question , we have
The production of salt in year 2001 = 40 ( in 1000 tonnes )
The production of salt in year 2008 = 90 ( in 1000 tonnes )
Increase = 90 - 40 = 50 ( in 1000 tonnes )Percentage increase = Increase × 100 The production of salt in year 2001 Percentage increase = 50 × 100 = 125% 40
Correct Option: B

As per the given bar graph in question ,
The production of salt in year 2004 = 25000 tonnes
The production of salt in year 2005 = 55000 tonnes
Total production of salt = 25 + 55 = 80000 tonnesCorrect Option: C
As per the given bar graph in question ,
The production of salt in year 2004 = 25000 tonnes
The production of salt in year 2005 = 55000 tonnes
Total production of salt = 25 + 55 = 80000 tonnes
Required average production = 80000 ÷ 2 = 40000 tonnes
Hence, required answer is 2002 and 2006 .

From the given bar graph in question ,
The production of salt in year 2003 = 70
The production of salt in year 2004 = 25
Decrease = 70 - 25 = 45Percentage decrease = Decrease × 100 The production of salt in year 2003 Percentage decrease = 45 × 100 70
Correct Option: A

The production of salt in year 2003 = 70
The production of salt in year 2004 = 25
Decrease = 70 - 25 = 45Percentage decrease = Decrease × 100 The production of salt in year 2003 Percentage decrease = 45 × 100 70 Percentage decrease = 4500 = 64.2% 70
Direction: Given here is a bar graph showing the number of cycles produced in a factory during five consecutive weeks. Observe the graph and answer the questions based on this graph.

As per the given bar graph in question ,
Number of cycles produced in 1st week = 800
Number of cycles produced in 2nd week = 1300
Number of cycles produced in 3rd week = 1060
Number of cycles produced in 4th week = 920
Number of cycles produced in 5th week = 1440
Required number of cycles = Total number of cycles produced in five consecutive weeksCorrect Option: A
As per the given bar graph in question ,

Number of cycles produced in 3rd week = 1060
Number of cycles produced in 4th week = 920
Number of cycles produced in 5th week = 1440
Required number of cycles = Total number of cycles produced in five consecutive weeks
∴ Required number of cycles = 800 + 1300 + 1060 + 920 + 1440 = 5520
