Sol: Panel (a), Bar diagram represents, proportion of illiterates (%) dark shaded represents female and male illiterates 
in 2001 and light shaded represents female and male illiterates in 2011. Panel (b) and panel (c) male and females 
in 2001 and 2011 respectively.
 Assume population in 2001 = 100 nos
 from given data, population in 2011 also 100.
 From the given Bar charts and pie charts, the following table can be possible.
2001 2011

Illiterates 50% of 60 = 30 60% of 40 = 24 40% of 50 = 20 40% of 50 = 20
Literates 60 - 30 = 30 40 - 24 = 16 50 - 20 = 30 50 - 20 = 30
 Total literates in 2001 = 30 + 16 = 46
 Total literates in 2011 =  30 + 30 = 60

10. Two design consultants, P and Q, started working from 8 Am for a client. The client budgeted a total of USD 
3000 for the consultants. P stopped working when the hour hand moved by 210 degrees on the clock. Q stopped 
working when the hour hand moved by 240 degrees. P took two tea breaks of 15 minutes each during her shift, 
but took no lunch break. Q took only one lunch break for 20 minutes, but no tea breaks. The market rate for 
consultants is USD 200 per hour and breaks are not paid. After paying the consultants, the client shall have USD 
____ remaining in the budget.
