(ii) How many tickets of Assam State Lottery were sold by the agent?
(iii) Of which state, were the maximum number of tickets sold?
(iv) State Whether true of false.
The maximum number of tickets sold is three times the minimum number of tickets sold.
(v) Of which state were the minimum number of tickets sold?

Answer 1

(i) The bar graph represents the number of tickets of different state lotteries sold by an agent on a single day.

(ii) The agent sold 40 tickets of Assam State Lottery.
Explanation: The vertical height of the rectangle against Assam, on the bar graph, has ended on the 40th mark against the vertical axis.

(iii) Haryana
Explanation: The vertical height of the rectangle against Haryana is the maximum compared to those against the other states.

(iv) False
Explanation: Maximum vertical length (against the state of Haryana) = 100 units
Minimum vertical length (against the state of Rajasthan) = 20 units
∴ Maximum number of lottery tickets sold for one state = 100 tickets
Minimum number of lottery tickets sold for one state = 20 tickets
And, 100 is 5 times of 20 not 3 times

(v) Rajasthan
Explanation: From the bar graph we can say that the Rajasthan State Lottery tickets were sold the minimum, i.e., only 20 tickets.
