⇒ Profit = 100L
In 2015, For company R,
Income is 400L and Expenditure is 450L
Income is lesser than Expenditure,
⇒ Company R suffers a loss in 2015
In 2015, For company T,
Income is 500L and Expenditure is 450L
⇒ Profit = 500L – 450L
⇒ Profit = 50L
∴ In the following options, Company Q has a maximum profit.

Directions: The data for family sizes in a town is given below. Based on the bar graph, answer the question given below:
Calculate the average family size from the given data.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Number of families having 1 member = 5
Total members = 5
Number of families having 2 members = 30
Total members = 60
Number of families having 3 members = 45
Total members = 135
Number of families having 4 members = 40
Total members = 160
Number of families having 5 members = 25
Total members = 125
Number of families having 6 members = 5
Total members = 30
So, the total membes in all types of families = 5 + 60 + 135 + 160 + 125 + 30 = 515
Total number of families = 5 + 30 + 45 + 40 + 25 + 5 =150
The average family size = 515 / 150 = 3.4
Hence, option 3 is correct.
The given data shows the registration of bikes and total vehicles (in thousands) for 6 months in 2017 in City X.
Note: In the chart, the first number represents bikes and the second number represents total vehicles.
Based on the given data, the increase in the registration of vehicles other than bikes in April 2017 in comparison of Jan 2017 is _______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFNumber of registration of vehicles other than bikes in January 2017 = 27,000 - 21,000 = 6,000
Number of registration of vehicles other than bikes in April 2017 = 35,000 - 20,000 = 15,000

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Number of families having 1 member = 5
Total members = 5
Number of families having 2 member = 30
Total members = 60
Number of families having 3 member = 45
Total members = 135
Number of families having 4 member = 40
Total members = 160
Number of families having 5 member = 25
Total members = 125
Number of families having 6 member = 5
Total members = 30
So, the total members in all types of families = 5 + 60 + 135 + 160 + 125 + 30 = 515
Total number of families = 5 + 30 + 45 + 40 + 25 + 5 =150
The average family size = 515 / 150 = 3.4
The families with size less than the average family size are as follows:
Number of families having 1 member = 5
Number of families having 2 member = 30
Number of families having 3 member = 45
So, the total number of families with size less than the average family size = 80
The total number of families = 150
The fraction of families with size less than the average family size = 80 / 150 = 8 / 15
Hence, option 2 is correct.

⇒ 35/35 × 100
⇒ 100%
∴ The required percentage is 100%

The maximum rise in the production of raw wool with respect to previous year :
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCalculation:
Rise in 2015-16 = 53 – 51 = 2
Rise in 2016-17 = 65 – 53 = 12
Rise in 2017-18 = 76 – 65 = 11
Rise in 2019-20 = 68 – 58 = 10
Rise in 2020-21 = 73 – 68 = 5
∴ Maximum rise in production of wool with respect to previous year is in 2016-17
The given histogram shows the heights of 232 students of an athletic club and their numbers.
Study the histogram carefully and answer the questions that follows.
If the histogram is to be presented by a line diagram, what would be the starting point and the end point of the line diagram?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:-
Athletic club of 232 members and their height's frequency.
Concept used:-
Frequency Polygon:- A frequency polygon is a graph constructed by using lines to join the midpoints of each interval or bin. The heights of the points represent the frequencies. A frequency polygon can be created from the histogram or by calculating the midpoints of the bins from the frequency distribution table.
Formula Used:
Class size = Upper limit - Lower limit
Calculation:
From histogram -
Class size = Upper limit - Lower limit
Class size = 125 - 120 = 5
∴ Mid point of a class = 5/2 = 2.5
So, Starting point of Line graph -
X - co-ordinate = 120 - 2.5 = 117.5
Y - co-ordinate = frequency of point = 0
∴ Starting point = (117.5,0)
End point of Line graph -
X - co-ordinate = 170 + 2.5 = 172.5
Y - co-ordinate = frequency of point = 0
∴ End point = (172.5,0)
∴ Required points are (117.5,0) and (172.5,0).
The following bar graph shows the number of coolers sold by shopkeepers A and B in different years. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.
The total number of coolers sold by shopkeeper B in 1995 and 1998 together is approximately what percentage more/less than the total number of coolers sold by the shopkeeper A in 1996 and 1997 together ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 15 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
B(1995 + 1998) = 1620 + 1600
A(1996 + 1997) = 1590 + 1750
Solution:
The total number of coolers sold by shopkeeper B in 1995 and 1998 = 1620 + 1600 = 3220
The total number of coolers sold by shopkeeper A in 1996 and 1997 = 1590 + 1750 = 3340
difference = 3220 - 3340 = -120
⇒ less
Required percentage = 120/3340 x 100 = 3.5% ~ 4% less
Hence, the correct option is 2.
