How many more Veg sandwiches were sold than Cheese sandwiches?
(a) 3
(b) 2
(c) 1
(d) 4

Q2. The pictograph shows the number of cupcakes sold in a bakery.

How many cupcakes were sold on Friday?
(a) 10
(b) 8
(c) 6
(d) 5

Ans: (a) 10

Each 🧁 = 2 cupcakes

Q3. A store sold toys. In a pictograph, if each symbol is 2 toys, how many symbols represent cars?
(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 6
(d) 7Ans: (c) 6

 Here, 1 symbol = 2 toys.
 Cars = 12, so 12 ÷ 2 = 6 symbols. 
Cars have 6 symbols.

Q4. The pictograph shows the number of books read by 4 students.

Who read the second highest number of books?
(a) Isha
(b) Aman
(c) Ravi
(d) Tina

Ans: (c) Ravi

Isha = 6, Ravi = 5, Aman = 4, Tina = 3 
→ Ravi is second highest.

Q5: A farmer counted the number of eggs collected from chickens each day for 4 days using a pictograph (each egg symbol = 3 eggs):

(a) 12
(b) 15
(c) 21
(d) 18
Ans: (d) 18

Calculate the eggs:
 Day 1 = 2 × 3 = 6
Day 2 = 3 × 3 = 9
Day 3 = 1 × 3 = 3
Day 4 = 4 × 3 = 12. 
Total = 6 + 9 + 3 + 12 = 18.

Q6. In a pictograph, each smiley represents 3 children. If there are 4 smileys in a car, how many  children are there?

(a) 10
(b) 15
(c) 20
(d) 25

Ans: (c) 20

Each smiley = 3 children. With 4 smileys: 4 × 5 = 20 children.

How many more puzzles were sold than cars?
(a) 10
(b) 5
(c) 15
(d) 20

Ans: (a) 10

Puzzle = 4 × 5 = 20, Car = 2 × 5 = 10 
→ 20 − 10 = 10

Q8. A pictograph shows 3 Trees for Apple and 5 trees for Guava. If each tree represents 10 trees, how many more trees were there for Peach?

(a) 5
(b) 40
(c) 35
(d) 20

Each tree = 10
For Peach, there are 4 trees i.e., 4 ×10 = 40 trees.

Q9. The pictograph shows how many pencils students brought to school.

How many pencils were brought in total?
(a) 10
(b) 11
(c) 12
(d) 13

Q10. Jake recorded the number of pizzas sold for five days. Which day sold fewer pizzas?

(a) Friday
(b) Wednesday
(c) Tuesday
(d) Monday

Ans: (b) Wednesday

In the pictograph, each pizza picture represents the number of pizzas sold on each day. To find which day had the fewest pizzas sold, we count the pizza pictures for each day:

• Monday → 5 pizzas
• Tuesday → 6 pizzas
• Wednesday → 3 pizzas
• Thursday → 4 pizzas
• Friday → 5 pizzas

Since Wednesday has the least number of pizzas (only 3), the correct answer is Wednesday.
