Question

The number of girls students in each class of co.ed. Middle school is depicted by the following pictograph:

Class	Number of girls
I
II
III
IV
V
VI
VII
VIII

= 4 girls

Observe the above pictograph and answer the following question:

(i) Which class has the maximum number of girl student?
(ii) Is the number of girls in class VI is less than the number of girls in class V?
(iii) How many girls are there in VII class?

Answer 1

Based on the above pictograph, we can prepare the following chart to determine the number of girl students in each class.
Given, 1 figure = 4 girls
or

Class	Numbers of girls
I	6 × 4 = 24
II	$4\frac{1}{2}\times 4=18$
III	5 × 4 = 20
IV	$3\frac{1}{2}\times 4=14$
V	$2\frac{1}{2}\times 4=10$
VI	4 × 4 = 16
VII	3 × 4 = 12
VIII	$1\frac{1}{2}\times 4=6$

(i) From the chart we can easily say that the maximum number of girls, i.e., 24, are present in Class I
∴ Class I has the maximum number of girls.

(ii) Number of girls in Class VI = 16
Number of girls in Class V = 10
∴ Number of girls in Class VI is not less than the number of girls in Class V.
Ans: No

(iii) From the chart we can say that there are 12 girls in Class VII.
