• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

There are $19$ books in the library. Out of them, $6$ are history books, and there are $2$ more science books than history books. The rest are math books.
Total number of books in the library $=19$
Number of history books $=6$
Number of science books = Number of history books $+2=6+2=8$
Total number of science and history books = Number of history books + Number of science books
$=6+8=14$
Number of math books = Total number of books in the library − Total number of science and history books
$=19-14=5$
Only the pictograph in Option C represents the correct number of books in each category.
Hence, Option C is the correct pictograph
