Direction: The following graph shows the production of cotton bales of 100 kg each (in lakhs) by different states A, B, C, D and E over the years. Study the graph and answer the following Questions.

  1. How many kg of cotton was produced by State C during the given period?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Cotton production in State C in 2003 - 04 = 6 lakhs
    Cotton production in State C in 2004 - 05 = 11 lakhs
    Cotton production in State C in 2005 - 06 = 15 lakhs
    Total cotton production in State C = (6 + 11 + 15) lakhs × 100 kg

    Correct Option: A

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Cotton production in State C in 2003 - 04 = 6 lakhs
    Cotton production in State C in 2004 - 05 = 11 lakhs
    Cotton production in State C in 2005 - 06 = 15 lakhs
    Total cotton production in State C = (6 + 11 + 15) lakhs × 100 kg = 320000000 kg

Direction: Study the following graph and answer the questions. Number on the top of a bar is the number of TVs.

  1. What is the ratio of average demand to average production of companies B and D?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    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 ?

    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
