Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$1995$

Given that each TV symbol represents $500$ TV sets.

In the given pictograph, $1990$ year has $2$ TV symbols.

Therefore, number of TV sets sold in the year $1990$ are $2\times 500=1000$

$1995$ year has $5$ TV symbols.

Therefore, number of TV sets sold in the year $1995$ are $5\times 500=2500$

$2000$ year has $3$ TV symbols.

Therefore, number of TV sets sold in the year $2000$ are $3\times 500=1500$

$2005$ year has $1$ TV symbols.

Therefore, number of TV sets sold in the year $2005$ are $1\times 500=500$

$2008$ year has $6$ TV symbols.

Therefore, number of TV sets sold in the year $2008$ are $6\times 500=3000$

Hence, $2500$ TV sets were sold in the year $1995$
