Question

Observe the following bar graph:
The sales of which product was reduced the most from day 1 to day 2?

• A. Gadgets
• B. Clothes
• C. Grocery
• D. Sports

Answer 1

The correct option is B Clothes

To determine the which product has reduced the most from Day 1 to Day 2, subtract the sales of the product on Day 2 from the sales of that product in Day 1.


$\text{Sale of grocery on Day 1 = 800 items}$
$\text{Sale of grocery on Day 2 = 600 items}$
$\text{Difference = 800 - 600 = 200 items}$
$\text{Hence, the sales of grocery is reduced by}$ $\text{200 items.}$

$\text{Sale of sports on Day 1 = 800 items}$
$\text{Sale of sports on Day 2 = 1000 items}$
$\text{Difference = 1000 - 800 = 200 items}$
$\text{Hence, the sales of sports is increased by}$ $\text{200 items.}$

$\text{Sale of clothes on Day 1 = 1000 items}$
$\text{Sale of clothes on Day 2 = 600 items}$
$\text{Difference = 1000 - 600 = 400 items}$
$\text{Hence, the sales of clothes is reduced by}$ $\text{400 items.}$

$\text{Sale of gadgets on Day 1 = 400 items}$
$\text{Sale of gadgets on Day 2 = 600 items}$
$\text{Difference = 600 - 400 = 200 items}$
$\text{Hence, the sales of sports is increased by}$ $\text{200 items.}$

$\therefore \text{Clothes has shown the maximum}$ $\text{reduction in sales.}$
