    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


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

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Companies with more demand than production are A, C and E.
    Companies with more production than demand are B and D.

    Correct Option: D

    From the given bar diagram , we see
    Companies with more demand than production are A, C and E.
    Companies with more production than demand are B and D.
    ∴ Required ratio = 3 : 2



Direction: Given here is a multiple bar diagram depicting the changes in the students strength of a college in four faculties from 1990 – 91 to 1992 – 93. Study the diagram and answer the questions.

  1. What was the per cent increase in Science students from the year 1990 – 91 to 1992 – 93?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Students’ strength in Science in 1990-91 = 400
    Students’ strength in Science in 1992-93 = 600
    Increase = 600 – 400 = 200

    Percent increase =
    Increase
    × 100
    Students’ strength in Science in 1990-91

    Correct Option: A

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Students’ strength in Science in 1990-91 = 400
    Students’ strength in Science in 1992-93 = 600
    Increase = 600 – 400 = 200

    Percent increase =
    Increase
    × 100
    Students’ strength in Science in 1990-91

    Percent increase =
    200
    × 100 = 50%
    400


  1. The total students strength in 1991 – 92 was how many times that of Commerce students in the same year?

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total students’ strength in 1991-92 = 550 + 500 + 250 +200 = 1500
    Students’ strength in commerce in 1991-92 = 250

    ∴ Required answer =
    Total students’ strength in 1991-92
    Students’ strength in commerce in 1991-92

    Correct Option: D

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total students’ strength in 1991-92 = 550 + 500 + 250 +200 = 1500
    Students’ strength in commerce in 1991-92 = 250

    ∴ Required answer =
    Total students’ strength in 1991-92
    Students’ strength in commerce in 1991-92

    Required answer =
    1500
    = 6
    250



  1. The percentage of students in Science faculty in 1990 – 91 was

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Number of students in all faculties taken together in 1990-91 = 600 + 400 + 200 + 150 = 1350
    Number of students in science faculty = 400

    ∴ Required percentage =
    Number of students in science faculty
    × 100
    Number of students in all faculties taken together in 1990-91

    Correct Option: C

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Number of students in all faculties taken together in 1990-91 = 600 + 400 + 200 + 150 = 1350
    Number of students in science faculty = 400

    ∴ Required percentage =
    Number of students in science faculty
    × 100
    Number of students in all faculties taken together in 1990-91

    Required percentage =
    400
    × 100 = 29.6%
