The bar graph below gives the strength of 'section A' for 6 consecutive years since 2009. The same set of students get promoted to the next year, but the number of students vary as there can new joinees or students leaving.
How many students got admitted to the class at the start of session 2012 if nobody from the previous year batch left the school and 2 students were not promoted?
7
No. of students in the class in session 2011; Class 8 Sec. A = 40
If nobody took transfer and 2 students were not promoted, number of old students = 40 - 2 = 38
No. of students in the class in Session 2012; Class 9 Sec. A = 45
No. of new students = 45 - 38 = 7 students.
