Question

Given below is a bar graph showing the heights of five mountain peaks.



Read the bar graph carefully and answer the following questions:
(i) Which is the highest peak and what is its height?
(ii) What is the ratio of the heights of the highest peak and the next highest peak?
(iii) Arrange the heights of the given peaks in descending order.

Answer 1

(i) Mount Everest is the highest peak and it's height is 8800 m.

(ii) Height of the highest peak, Mount Everest = 8800 m
Height of the second highest peak, Kanchenjunga = 8200 m

Ratio = $\frac{8800}{8200}=\frac{44}{41}=44:41$

(iii) Heights of the peaks are 6000 m, 8000 m, 7500 m, 8200 m and 8800 m.

Heights in descending order:

8200 m, 8000 m, 7500 m, 6000 m
