    Average production

    =15+40+60+45+65+50+70+80
    8

    Correct Option: C

    Average production

    =15+40+60+45+65+50+70+80
    8

    =440=55.
    8

    The average production of the year is 55 and as we are seeing in the graph that the year 1991, 1993, 1995, 1996 have more than the 55.


Direction: Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below it.

  1. What is the approximate average production of roses (in thousands) across all the states?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Total production of rose by all the States = 142250
    Total number of states = 8

    Correct Option: D

    Total production of rose by all the States = 142250
    Total number of states = 8
    Average = Total production of rose by all the States / Total number of states

    ∴ Average =14225018 thousand
    8 x 1000



  1. Which of the following State(s) contribute(s) less than 10 % in the total rose production?

    Total rose production = ( 15000 + 12500 + 12450 + 20000 + 12400 + 22500 + 22400 + 25000 ) = 142250
    Calculate the % rose production.
    % Rose Production increase in State = Rose production in state x 100 / Rose production in All state
    Percentage production of rose in the States (the lowest four states)

    Correct Option: C

    Total rose production = ( 15000 + 12500 + 12450 + 20000 + 12400 + 22500 + 22400 + 25000 ) = 142250
    % Rose Production increase in State = Rose production in state x 100 / Rose production in All state
    % Rose Production increase in Gujrat = Rose production in Gujrat x 100 / Rose production in All state
    % Rose Production increase in Gujrat = 15000 x 100 / 142250
    % Rose Production increase in Gujrat = 1500 x 100 / 14225
    % Rose Production increase in Gujrat = 300 x 100 / 285
    % Rose Production increase in Gujrat = 60 x 100 / 57
    % Rose Production increase in Gujrat = 6000 / 57 = 10.54 %
    Similarly Calculate the % Rose Production increase in all states one by one and compare them.

    Percentage production of rose in the States (the lowest four states)



  1. If total percentage contribution of the States having production of roses below twenty thousand is considered, which of the following statements is true?

    It is 36.8% approximately.

    Correct Option: E

    It is 36.8% approximately.

    Required percentage

    =25 - 20X100
    20

    Correct Option: A

    Required percentage

    =25 - 20X100= 25 % (more)
    20
