(a) Maths
(b) Social Studies
(c) 140
Step 1

If you look at the graph you will notice that x-axis and y-axis shows the marks and subjects of
Thomas in class 6 examinations respectively.
Step 2
(a) Because graph shows the maximum value at the subject Maths therefore the subject in
which Thomas obtained maximum marks is Maths.
Step 3
(b) Because graph shows the minimum value at the subject Social Studies therefore the
subject in which Thomas obtained least marks is Social Studies.
Step 4
(c) Graph shows the value at English, is 80 therefore the marks obtained by Thomas in
English is 80
or graph shows the value at Hindi, is 60 therefore the marks obtained by Thomas in Hindi is
60
or the combined score of Thomas in English ans Hindi = 80 + 60 = 140

6375
Step 1

If you look at the given chart carefully, you will notice that the production of fruits peach, apple,
banana in a farm is 37.5%, 25%, 37.5% respectively.
Step 2
Since production of peach is 6375 Kg, which is 37.5% of a farm.
or we can say that the 37.5% production of a farm = 6375 Kg
1% production of a farm =

6375
37.5

37.5% production of a farm =

6375
37.5

37.5 = 6375 Kg

Step 3
Since production of banana is 37.5% of a form and 37.5% production of a farm is 6375 Kg,
therefore the production of banana will be 6375 Kg.

17500
Step 1

If you look at the given chart carefully, you will notice that the production of fruits watermelon,
grapes, peach, orange in a farm is 50%, 12.5%, 25%, 12.5% respectively.
Step 2
Since production of peach is 7000 Kg, which is 25% of a farm.
or we can say that the 25% production of a farm = 7000 Kg
1% production of a farm =

50% production of a farm =

7000
25
7000
25

and 12.5% production of a farm =

50 = 14000 Kg,

7000
25

12.5 = 3500 Kg.

Step 3
Since the production of watermelon and orange is 50% and 12.5% of a farm respectively,
therefore the combined production of watermelon and orange = 50% production of a farm +
12.5% production of a farm
= 14000 + 3500
= 17500 Kg

162
Step 1
If you look at the pictograph you will notice that each

= 6 dolls, therefore

Step 2
Number of dolls manufactures by company 1 = 3 6 = 18 dolls
Step 3
Number of dolls manufactures by company 2 = 2 6 = 12 dolls
Step 4
Number of dolls manufactures by company 3 = 7 6 = 42 dolls
Step 5
Number of dolls manufactures by company 4 = 2 6 = 12 dolls
Step 6
Number of dolls manufactures by company 5 = 4 6 = 24 dolls
Step 7
Number of dolls manufactures by company 6 = 5 6 = 30 dolls
Step 8
Number of dolls manufactures by company 7 = 4 6 = 24 dolls
Step 9
(a) Therefore factory which manufactures maximum number of dolls: 3
Step 10
(b) Total number of dolls manufactures by all factories in a day = 18 + 12 + 42 + 12 + 24 + 30
+ 24 = 162 dolls
