Which of the following is/are the correct inference of a bar graph?

• A. The dogs are adopted by the most number of people.
• B. The cats are adopted by more people than the dog.
• C. Fishes and rabbits are adopted by the same number of people.
• D. Fishs and rabbits are adopted by the least number of people.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Fishs and rabbits are adopted by the least number of people.

In a bar graph, the height of each rectangle represents the number of adoptions of the respective type of pet.

The tabular format of the given bar graph is as follows: Type of Pets Frequency

Dog	40
Rabbit	20
Cat	30
Fish	20

The dogs are adopted by the most number of people, i.e., $40.$

The cats are adopted by $30$ people, which is less than the number of dog adoptions.
$\therefore$ Option (b) is wrong.

Fishes and rabbits are adopted by the same number of people, i.e., $20.$
Also, $20$ is the least number of adoptions.

Hence, options (a), (c), and (d) are correct answers.
