d) Name the cities for which the number of tickets sold is more than 20.

e) Fill in the blanks:
Number of tickets sold for Delhi and Jaipur together exceeds the total number of tickets sold for Patna and Chennai by _______.

Answer 1

(a) From the bar graph,
Total number of tickets sold = 80 + 50 + 100 + 20 + 45 = 295

(b) Clearly, the maximum number of tickets were sold for Delhi as it has the longest bar.

Scale: 1 unit length = 10 tickets


(c) Clearly, the minimum number of tickets were sold for Chennai as it has the shortest bar.

(d) On the bar graph, except Chennai, remaining all the sold tickets more than 20.

Hence, required cities are Patna, Jaipur, Delhi and Guwahati

(e) According to the Bar graph,
Number of tickets sold for Delhi and Jaipur together = 100 + 50 = 150.
Number of tickets sold for Patna and Chennai together = 80 + 20 = 100.

Thus, tickets sold for Delhi and Jaipur exceeds the tickets sold for Patna and Chennai by 150 – 100 = 50.
