What percentage of total sale of Brand Y T-shirt is Brand Z T-shirt sold in 2009. (Up to two decimal)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
Brand Y total sales (2006–2009) = 980 + 840 + 1150 + 900 = 3870
Brand Z sales in 2009 = 1020
Formula used:
Required % = (Brand Z 2009 sale / Total Brand Y sales) x 100
Calculation:
⇒ (1020 ÷ 3870) x 100 = 26.35%
∴ Required percentage = 26.35%

Direction: Study the following data carefully and answer the following questions.
The bar graph represents the percentage of people present in the bus just after every station.
After station 1, if 20% of previously present people getting into the Bus 1 at every Station (if there is space) then what percent seats remain empty after Station 2?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
After Station 1 people present in Bus 1 = 75%
Calculation:
Let the capacity of Bus 1 be 100.
After Station 1, people presented in Bus 1 = 75
In next Station, people presented in Bus 2 = 75 + 75 × 20%
⇒ 90
Empty seats = 100 - 90 = 10
Required percentage = (10/100) × 100%
∴ 10% seats remain empty after station 2.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Just after Station 3 people present in Bus 1 = 50%
Just after Station 3 people present in Bus 2 = 40%
Capacity of both the buses are equal.
Calculation:
Let the total number of people in Bus 1 and Bus 2 be 100 and 100 respectively.
People presented in Bus 1 = 100 × 50% = 50
People presented in Bus 2 = 100 × 40% = 40
In Bus 1, Present people : Total people = 50 : 100
In Bus 2, Present people : Total people = 40 : 100
Percentage total people = {(50 + 40)/200} × 100
⇒ (90/200) × 100
⇒ 45%
∴ The total people present in both the buses is 45% just after Station 3.

What is the difference between the people present in Bus 1 and Bus 2 just after Station 2 if the capacity of Bus 1 is 200 and Bus 2 is 300 ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Capacity of Bus 1 = 200
People present in Bus 1 just after Station 2 = 40%
Capacity of Bus 2 = 300
People present in Bus 2 just after Station 2 = 20%
Calculation:
Number of people in Bus 1 just after Station 2 = 40% of 200
⇒ (2/5) × 200
⇒ 2 × 40
⇒ 80
Number of people in Bus 1 just after Station 2 = 20% of 300
⇒ (1/5) × 300
⇒ 1 × 60
⇒ 60
Difference of people in both buses = 80 – 60 = 20
∴ The difference of people in Bus 1 and Bus 2 just after Station 2 is 20.

Number of families having 1 member = 5
Total members = 5
Number of families having 2 member = 30
Total members = 60
Number of families having 3 member = 45
Total members = 135
Number of families having 4 member = 40
Total members = 160
Number of families having 5 member = 25

Total number of families = 5 + 30 + 45 + 40 + 25 + 5 =150
The average family size = 515 / 150 = 3.4
The families with size less than the average family size are as follows:
Number of families having 1 member = 5
Number of families having 2 member = 30
Number of families having 3 member = 45
So, the total number of families with size less than the average family size = 80
The total number of families = 150
The fraction of families with size less than the average family size = 80 / 150 = 8 / 15
Hence, option 2 is correct.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:-
Athletic club of 232 members and their height's frequency.
Concept used:-
Frequency Polygon:- A frequency polygon is a graph constructed by using lines to join the midpoints of each interval or bin. The heights of the points represent the frequencies. A frequency polygon can be created from the histogram or by calculating the midpoints of the bins from the frequency distribution table.
Formula Used:
Class size = Upper limit - Lower limit
Calculation:
From histogram -
Class size = Upper limit - Lower limit
Class size = 125 - 120 = 5
∴ Mid point of a class = 5/2 = 2.5
So, Starting point of Line graph -
X - co-ordinate = 120 - 2.5 = 117.5
Y - co-ordinate = frequency of point = 0
∴ Starting point = (117.5,0)
End point of Line graph -
X - co-ordinate = 170 + 2.5 = 172.5
Y - co-ordinate = frequency of point = 0
∴ End point = (172.5,0)
∴ Required points are (117.5,0) and (172.5,0).

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Bar Graph Question 15 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
B(1995 + 1998) = 1620 + 1600
A(1996 + 1997) = 1590 + 1750
Solution:
The total number of coolers sold by shopkeeper B in 1995 and 1998 = 1620 + 1600 = 3220
The total number of coolers sold by shopkeeper A in 1996 and 1997 = 1590 + 1750 = 3340
difference = 3220 - 3340 = -120
⇒ less
Required percentage = 120/3340 x 100 = 3.5% ~ 4% less
Hence, the correct option is 2.
