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 is very low?

• A. $1995-1996$
• B. $1996-1997$
• C. $1997-1998$
• D. $1998-1999$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $1997-1998$

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 clearly, the maintenance is very low in the year $1997-1998$.

Hence, option $C$ is correct.
