Direction image of Bar Chart chapter
What is the difference between the average number of students appeared in the scholarship exam from all the given schools and the average number of students qualified from all the school together?

Discuss
Solution:
Average number of students appeared from all the schools
= 15(3000 + 2250 + 3250 + 2500 + 3000)
= 140005
= 2800
Average number of students qualified from all the schools
= 15(1750 + 1250 + 2250 + 2000 + 2000)
= 92505
= 1850
∴ Required difference
= 2800 - 1850
= 950

In which year was there maximum percentage increase in export of pearls to that in the previous year?

Discuss
Solution:
Increase % in various years2002{(6.55.2)5.2×100}%=(1.35.2×100)%=(1352×100)%=25%2003{(7.86.5)6.5×100}%=(1.36.5×100)%=(1365×100)%=20%2004{(9.97.8)7.8×100}%=(2.17.8×100)%=(2178×100)%=26.9%2005{(10.89.9)9.9×100}%=(0.99.9×100)%=(999×100)%=10011%=9.090%2007{(11.49.5)9.5×100}%=(1.99.5×100)%=(1995×100)%=20%
Clearly, the maximum increase was in 2004
40.  Study the following bar graph and the table carefully and answer the questions given below:

Direction image of Bar Chart chapter
Distance Covered (in km) by 6 Vehicles on Each Day
Vehicles Day 1 Day 2
A 832 864
B 516 774
C 693 810
D 552 765
E 935 546
F 703 636

Which of the following vehicles travelled at the same speed on both the days?

Discuss
Solution:
Speeds of vehicles on Day 1:A → 83216 km/hr=52 km/hrB → 51612 km/hr=43 km/hrC → 69311 km/hr=63 km/hrD → 55212 km/hr=46 km/hrE → 93517 km/hr=55 km/hrF → 70319 km/hr=37 km/hrSpeed of vehicles on Day 2:A → 86416 km/hr=54 km/hrB → 77418 km/hr=43 km/hrC → 81018 km/hr=45 km/hrD → 76515 km/hr=51 km/hrE → 54614 km/hr=39 km/hrF → 63612 km/hr=53 km/hr

Clearly B travelled at the same speed on both the days.
