$$\begin{array}{cc}\left(ValuesofSara{h}^{\prime }scar\right)& \\ Year& Value\\ 2001& Rs.8,00,000\\ 2002& Rs.7,50,000\\ 2003& Rs.6,60,000\\ 2004& Rs.5,80,000\\ 2005& Rs.4,80,000\\ 2006& Rs.3,30,000\\ 2007& Rs.1,90,000\end{array}$$"

• A. All the points lie on a common straght line
• B. The sale value of car is always reducing with time
• C. In 2004 the car had a higher sale value than 2002 but lower than 2006
• D. Data Insufficient.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The sale value of car is always reducing with time

The graph is as shown above. It can be seen that sale value of car keeps reducing with time because this is a line graph and between any two points it is assumed that the value of sale price is also between the values of sale price between these 2 points. It can also be observed from the graph that sale value in 2004 is between that in 2002 and 2006.
