Question

The runs scored by Sagar and Nikhil in four cricket matches are shown in the joint bar graph below.



(1) In which match were their scores the same?
(2) Who scored more in the third match?
(3) In the first match, how many more runs did Nikhil score than Sagar?
(4) In which matches, did Sagar have equal scores?
(5) In which matches, did Nikhil have equal scores?

Answer 1

(1) The bar graph shows that the height of both the bars are same in match II; therefore, in the match II, their scores were the same.
(2) The bar graph shows that the height of Sagar’s score bar is greater than the height of Nikhil’s score bar in match III; therefore, Sagar scored more runs.
(3) The bar graph shows that in match I, Nikhil scored 35 runs and Sagar scored 25 runs; therefore, Nikhil scored (35 – 25 = 10) 10 runs more than Sagar.
(4) The bar graph shows that in matches II and IV, Sagar scored equal runs, as the bar heights of both are same.
(5) The bar graph shows that in matches II and III, Nikhil scored equal runs, as the bar heights of both are same.
