Direction: The follow- ing diagram shows the percentage of population of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims with respect to total population in a town during 2005 to 2008. Study the diagram and answer the questions :

  1. If the total population in 2007 was 80 lakh, then the number of Hindus in 2007 was (in lakh)









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The total population in 2007 = 80 lakh
    Percent of Hindus in 2007 = 25%
    Number of Hindus = 25% of 80 lakh

    Correct Option: D

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The total population in 2007 = 80 lakh
    Percent of Hindus in 2007 = 25%
    Number of Hindus = 25% of 80 lakh

    Number of Hindus = 80 ×
    25
    = 20 lakhs
    100


Direction: Read the graph and answer the following questions.

  1. What is the ratio of the month having more demand than production to those having more production than demand?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Number of the month having more demand than production i.e.( January , March and May ) = 3
    Number of the month having more production than demand i.e. ( February , April ) = 2
    Required ratio = Number of the month having more demand than production : Number of the month having more production than demand

    Correct Option: B

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Number of the month having more demand than production i.e.( January , March and May ) = 3
    Number of the month having more production than demand i.e. ( February , April ) = 2
    Required ratio = Number of the month having more demand than production : Number of the month having more production than demand
    ∴ Required ratio = 3 : 2



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

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Total demand of computers of the five months = 2500 + 100 + 2000 + 700 + 2800 = 8100
    Number of months = 5

    Average demand =
    8100
    = 1620
    5

    Total production of computers of the five months = 1000 + 1300 + 500 + 2200 + 1800 = 6800
    Number of months = 5
    Average production =
    6800
    = 1360
    5

    Correct Option: D

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Total demand of computers of the five months = 2500 + 100 + 2000 + 700 + 2800 = 8100
    Number of months = 5

    Average demand =
    8100
    = 1620
    5

    Total production of computers of the five months = 1000 + 1300 + 500 + 2200 + 1800 = 6800
    Number of months = 5
    Average production =
    6800
    = 1360
    5

    Required difference = Average demand - Average production
    ∴ Required difference = 1620 – 1360 = 260


  1. The production of computers in April is approximately how many times that of production in January?

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    The production of computers in April = 2200
    The production of computers in January = 1000

    Required answer =
    The production of computers in April
    The production of computers in January

    Correct Option: A

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    The production of computers in April = 2200
    The production of computers in January = 1000

    Required answer =
    The production of computers in April
    The production of computers in January

    Required answer =
    2200
    = 2.2
    1000



  1. What percent of the demand of computers for the month of March is the demand of computers for the month of February?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The demand of computers for the month of March = 2000
    The demand of computers for the month of February = 100

    Required percentage =
    The demand of computers for the month of February
    × 100
    The demand of computers for the month of March

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    The demand of computers for the month of March = 2000
    The demand of computers for the month of February = 100

    Required percentage =
    The demand of computers for the month of February
    × 100
    The demand of computers for the month of March

    Required percentage =
    100
    × 100 = 5%
    2000
