Question

The annual maintenance cost of a machine in a factory over a seven years period is represented in the histogram.
In which year the maintenance cost is $2500$?

• A. $1998-1999$
• B. $2000-2001$
• C. $2001-2002$
• D. $1995-1996$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1998-1999$

From the histogram, the maintenance cost in the year:

$1995-1996$ is Rs. $2000$

$1996-1997$ is Rs. $3000$

$1997-1998$ is Rs. $1500$

$1998-1999$ is Rs. $2500$

$1999-2000$ is Rs. $4850$

$2000-2001$ is Rs. $5000$

$2001-2002$ is Rs. $7200$.

Then, the maintenance cost is Rs. $2500$ in the year $1998-1999$.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.
