Q. 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 Friday?

(ii) On which day maximum numbers of bulbs were sold?

(iii) If one bulb were 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?

Sol:

(i) Number of figures of bulbs shown against Friday = 7

Given: 1 figure = 2 bulbs

Therefore, Total number of bulbs sold on Friday = 2 x 7 = 14

(ii) Sunday shows the maximum number of figure of bulbs, i.e. 9

Therefore, On Sunday, maximum bulbs were sold.

(iii) Number of figures of bulbs shown against Sunday = 9

Therefore, Total number of bulbs sold on Sunday = 2 x 9 = 18

Given, the cost of each bulb = Rs 10

Therefore, Total earning on Sunday = Rs 10 x 18 = Rs 180

(iv) Total number of figures of bulbs shown throughout the week

= 6 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 43

Therefore, Total number of bulbs = 43 x 2 = 86

Therefore, Total earning of the week = Rs 10 x 86 = Rs 860.

(v) Total number of bulbs = 86

Given that one big carton can hold 9 bulbs.

Therefore, for holding 86 bulbs, we need

869=959 cartons

So, more than 9 cartons are needed.

Q. 2. A survey was carried out in a certain school to find about 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 displayed in the form of pictographs given below:

Mode of transport Number of students

Look at the above pictograph and answer the following questions:

(i) Look at the above pictograph and answer the following questions

(ii) How many students are using cycle or walking as a mode of travel?

(iii) Which is the most popular mode of travel?

Sol: (i) Number of students shown traveling to school using cycle = 3

Number of students shown walking to school = 8

Therefore, Number of students using cycle or walking as a mode of travelling to school = 3 + 8 =11

(ii) The pictograph shows that the maximum number of students, i.e. 10 are using the school bus as a mode of traveling to school.

Therefore, the most popular mode of travel to school is the school bus.

Q. 3. The number of girl students in each class of co-ed. Middle school is depicted by the following pictograph:

Observe the above pictograph and answer the following questions:

(i) Which class has the maximum number of girl students?

(ii) is the number of girls in class VI is less than the number of girls in class V?

(iii) How many girls are there in VII class?

Sol:

Based on the above pictograph, we can prepare the following chart to determine the number of girl students in each class.

Given, 1 figure = 4 girls

(i) From the chart we can easily say that the maximum number of girls i.e 24 are present in Class I

Therefore, Class I has the maximum number of girls.

(ii) Number of girls in class VI = 16

Number of girls in class V = 10

Therefore, number of girls in class VI is not less than the number of girls in class V

Ans: No

(iii) From the chart, we can say that these are 12 girls in class VII

Q. 4. In a village six fruit merchants sold the following number of fruit baskets in particular season:
