Question

There are 35 frames in the storeroom. Read the table, and identify the missing number. Complete the picture table with the help of the given table

• A. (i) 20; (ii) Medium-sized frames, (iii) Short frames, (iv) Long frames
• B. (i) 15; (ii) Long frames, (iii) Medium-sized frames, (iv) Short frames
• C. (i) 15; (ii) Short frames, (iii) Medium-sized frames, (iv) Long frames
• D. (i) 20; (ii) Short frames, (iii) Medium-sized frames, (iv) Long frames

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i) 20; (ii) Short frames, (iii) Medium-sized frames, (iv) Long frames

Say: Based on the given information in the question, we have to complete the table and use the information from the table to complete the picture table.

Steps:
- There are 35 frames in the storeroom.
- From the table, we can see that we have 10 long frames and 5 short frames.
- We have to subtract the number of long and short frames from the total number of frames to find the number of medium-sized frames.
- Total number of long and short frames: 10 + 5 = 15
- Medium-sized frames: 35 - 15 = 20
- Now, let’s complete the picture table.
- In the picture table, 1 symbol will be equal to 5 frames.
- Long frames = 10
- 5 + 5 = 10
- So, 2 symbols can be used to represent the number of long frames. Medium-sized frames = 20
- 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
- So, 4 symbols can be used to represent the number of medium-sized frames.
- There are only 5 short frames.
- So, 1 symbol can be used to represent short frames.
- Also, we can see that the least number of frames are used to represent the item in the first row of the picture table.
- So, as short frames are the least in number, the missing item in the first row will be the short frame.
- The second row has the most number of frames.
- As medium-sized frames are the most in number, the missing item in the second row will be the medium-sized frame.
- Therefore, the missing item in the third row will be the long frame.
- Hence, option A is the answer.
