Question

In a village six fruit merchants sold the following number of fruit baskets in a particular season:

Observe this pictograph and answer the following question:
Which merchant sold the maximum number of baskets?

Answer 1

A pictograph is a way of representing the data using images.

In the given pictograph, the data regarding the sale of fruit baskets is represented.

Here, $1$ picture of the fruit basket $=100$ fruit baskets.
So , half picture of the fruit basket $=50$ fruit baskets.

Martin sold the maximum number of fruit baskets as he has got the maximum number of pictures of the fruit baskets.

Fruit baskets sold by Martin $=9$ full pictures $+1$ half picture

Fruit baskets sold by Martin $=9.5\times 100=950$
