    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of persons in the age group 20 – 25 years = 250
    Number of persons in the age group 25 – 30 years = 250
    Required answer = Number of persons in the age group 20– 25 years + Number of persons in the age group 25–30 years

    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of persons in the age group 20 – 25 years = 250
    Number of persons in the age group 25 – 30 years = 250
    Required answer = Number of persons in the age group 20–25 years + Number of persons in the age group 25–30 years
    Required answer = 250 + 150 = 400

    According to given histogram , we have
    Number of persons in the age group of 15 - 20 years = 450
    Number of persons in the age group of 20 - 25 years = 250
    Number of persons in the age group of 25 - 30 years = 150
    Number of persons in the age group of 30 - 35 years = 75
    Number of persons in the age group of 35 - 40 years = 50
    Number of persons in the age group of 40 - 45 years = 25

    Correct Option: C

    According to given histogram , we have
    Number of persons in the age group of 15 - 20 years = 450
    Number of persons in the age group of 20 - 25 years = 250
    Number of persons in the age group of 25 - 30 years = 150
    Number of persons in the age group of 30 - 35 years = 75
    Number of persons in the age group of 35 - 40 years = 50
    Number of persons in the age group of 40 - 45 years = 25
    Total number of persons in the age group of 15 years to 45 years = 450 + 250 + 150 + 75 + 50 + 25 = 1000

  1. If the pass mark be 30, what is the percentage of successful students?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total number of students = 2 + 6 + 10 + 3 + 8 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 45
    Number of failures = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18
    Number of successful students = 45 – 18 = 27

    ∴ Required percentage =
    Number of successful students
    × 100
    Total number of students

    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Total number of students = 2 + 6 + 10 + 3 + 8 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 45
    Number of failures = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18
    Number of successful students = 45 – 18 = 27

    ∴ Required percentage =
    Number of successful students
    × 100
    Total number of students

    Required percentage =
    27
    × 100 = 60%
