Question

The given figure is incomplete. It is a pictograph which shows the number of sweets each child has.

The total number of sweets the four children have is 30. How many sweets does Anu have?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4

Total number of sweets the four children have = 30

Since each represents 2 sweets, the total number of symbols that are needed to represent 30 sweets is $=\frac{30}{2}=15.$

13 symbols are already present in the pictograph.
Therefore, Anu has $(15-13)\times 2$ sweets with her.
i.e., Anu has $2\times 2=4$ sweets.
