1. The sale of electric bulbs on different days of a week is shown below: 
 
 
Observe the pictograph and answer the following questions: 
(i) How many bulbs were sold on Friday? 
(ii) On which day maximum number of bulbs were sold? 
(iii) If one bulb was sold at the rate of Rs 10, what was the total earning on Sunday? 
(iv) Can you find out the total earning of the week? 
(v) If one big carton can hold 9 bulbs. How many cartons were needed in the given week, more than 7, 
more than 8 or more than 9? 
Solution: 
 
(i) No. of bulbs shown on Friday = 7 
Given that 1 figure = 2 bulbs 
So the total number of bulbs sold on Friday = 2 × 7 = 14 
Hence, 14 bulbs were sold on Friday. 
 
(ii) From the pictograph, Sunday shows the maximum bulb figures. 
Hence, maximum number of bulbs were sold on Sunday. 
 
(iii) No. of bulb figures sold on Sunday = 2 × 9 = 18 
Given that Cost of one bulb = Rs 10 
So the total earning on Sunday = 10 × 18 = Rs 180 
 
(iv) Total bulb figures shown throughout the week = 6 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 43 
So the total number of bulbs = 43 × 2 = 86 
Total earning of the week = 10 × 86 = Rs 860

(v) If one big carton can hold 9 bulbs. How many cartons were needed in the given week, more than 7, 
more than 8 or more than 9? 
Solution: 
 
(i) No. of bulbs shown on Friday = 7 
Given that 1 figure = 2 bulbs 
So the total number of bulbs sold on Friday = 2 × 7 = 14 
Hence, 14 bulbs were sold on Friday. 
 
(ii) From the pictograph, Sunday shows the maximum bulb figures. 
Hence, maximum number of bulbs were sold on Sunday. 
 
(iii) No. of bulb figures sold on Sunday = 2 × 9 = 18 
Given that Cost of one bulb = Rs 10 
So the total earning on Sunday = 10 × 18 = Rs 180 
 
(iv) Total bulb figures shown throughout the week = 6 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 43 
So the total number of bulbs = 43 × 2 = 86 
Total earning of the week = 10 × 86 = Rs 860 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
(v) We know that total number of bulbs = 86 
It is given that one carton can hold 9 bulbs 
So for holding 86 bulbs we require = 86 × 9 = 774 cartons 
Hence, more than 9 cartons are needed. 
 
2. A survey was carried out in a certain school to find about the different modes of transport used by 
students to travel to school each day. 30 students of class VI were interviewed and the data obtained was
