Answer 1

Option a: 2 Marks
Option b: 1 Mark
Option c: 1 Mark

Suppose 1 block represent 5 mattresses
So for the month of January, we need 4 blocks.

For February, we need 5 blocks.

For March, we need 3 blocks.

For April, we need 6 blocks.

For May, we need 2 blocks.

The maximum number of mattresses were sold in April = 30.
The minimum number of mattresses were sold in May = 10.
