The bar graph below depicts the number of students in various classes at a school.

Answer the below questions using the bar graph provided.

(i) The total number of students in each class.

(ii) The overall number of students from grades 6 to 8.

(iii) The overall number of students from grades 1 to 8.

(iv) The number of students in a class on average.

Solution:

(i)

In Class 1, there are 100 students.

In Class 2, there are 90 students.

In Class 3, there are 100 students.

(ii) The overall number of students from grades 6 to 8:

= Students in class 6 + Students in class 7 + Students in class 8

= 90 + 70 + 50

= 210

The total number of students from class 6 to class 8 = 210

(iii) The overall number of students from class 1 to 8

= 100 + 90+ 100+ 80 + 120 +90 + 70 + 50

The below pie chart shows the sale of different fruits in a day for a shop:

Answer the following questions based on the pie chart:


(i) If a total of 1200 kg of fruits were sold in a day, calculate the amount of bananas sold (in kg).

(ii) Find the difference between sales of grapes and oranges.

(iii) Calculate the central angle for others.

Solution:

(i) Total amount of fruits sold = 1200 kg

Percentage of banana sold = 30%

Amount of banana sold = 1200 × (30/100) = 360 kg

(ii) Amount of grapes sold = 1200 × (10/100) = 120 kg

Amount of oranges sold = 1200 × (15/100) = 180 kg

Difference = 180 – 120 = 60 kg

(iii) Amount of other fruits sold = 1200 × 20 = 240 kg

Central angle = 240/1200 × 360o = 72o.

Q.No

The following pie chart shows the percentage of users of a particular app.

If there are total of 15 lakhs users, then answer the following:

(i) How many total users are there from UP, Bihar and Maharashtra?

(ii) What is the central angle for Karnataka app users?

Solution:

(i) Total users = 15 lakhs

Users from UP = 15,00,000 × 35/100 = 5,25,000

Users from Bihar = 15,00,000 × 30/100 = 4,50,000


Users from Maharashtra = 15,00,000 × 15/100 = 2,25,000

Total users = 5,25,000 + 4,50,000 + 2,25,000 = 12,00,000

(ii) Users from Karnataka = 15,00,000 × 15/100 = 2,25,000

Central angle for Karnataka users = 2,25,000/15,00,000 × 360o

= 54o
