• A. $18$
• B. $24$
• C. $0$
• D. $36$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$0$

Step 1: Finding the number of children liking apples and oranges -

By analyzing the table -

We can clearly see that one mark in the table represents $3$values.

The initial mark for apple = $27$

The final mark for apple = $39$

The total number of children liking apples = $\text{final mark - initial mark}$

= $39-27=12$

The initial mark for orange = $9$

The final mark for orange = $21$

The total number of children liking oranges = $\text{final mark - initial mark}$

= $21-9=12$

Step 2: Finding the difference between the number of children liking apples and oranges -

Number of children choosing Apples = $12$

Number of children choosing Orange = $12$

Difference between them = $12-12=0$

Hence, the difference between the number of children liking apples and oranges is $0$ and correct option is (c).
