Question

Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions based on it.

(A) By what percentage production of rose in other states is more than that of the Maharashtra?
(B) What is the approximate average production of roses (in thousands) across all the states?
(C) Approximately what percentage of the total rose production is shared by the other states?

• A. (A)$\to$ 25$\%$; (B) $\to$ 18; (C)$\to$ 18$\%$
• B. (A)$\to$ 30$\%$; (B) $\to$ 21; (C)$\to$ 10$\%$
• C. (A)$\to$ 20$\%$; (B) $\to$ 19; (C)$\to$ 30$\%$
• D. (A)$\to$ 5$\%$; (B) $\to$ 8; (C)$\to$ 27$\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A (A)$\to$ 25$\%$; (B) $\to$ 18; (C)$\to$ 18$\%$

(A)Rose production in other states is given by the last bar = 25,000
Rose production by Maharashtra = 20,000

Required percentage $=\frac{25000-20000}{20000}\times 100=\frac{5000}{20000}\times 100=25\%\left(more\right)$

(B) Total production of rose by all the states
= 15000 + 12500 + 12450 + 20000 + 12400 + 22500 + 22400 + 25000
= 142250
$\therefore \text{Average}=\frac{\text{Total production}}{\text{Number of states}}=\frac{142250}{8}=17781\approx 18000$

(C) Percentage of total rose production shared by the other states is:
= $\frac{\text{Rose production in other states}}{\text{Total Production}}\times 100$

$=\frac{25000}{142250}\times 100=17.6\%\approx 18\%$
