Ans: Village C has 3 tractors more than that of the village B.
d) What is the total number of tractors in all. the five villages?
Ans: Total number of tractors in all the villages = 6 + 5 + 8+ 3 + 6 => 28
5. The number of girl students in each class Observe this pictograph and answer the
of a co-educational middle school is following questions:
depicted by the pictograph: (a) Which class has the minimum number
of girl students?
Ans: Class VIII has the minimum number of
girl students i,e. 1 ½ x 4 = 6 ( 4 + 2)
6 x 4= 24
b) Is the number of girls in Class VI less than
4 ½ x 4 = 16 + 2 the number of girls in Class V?
= 18
Ans: No,
5 x 4= 20
3 ½ x 4 = 12 + 2 number of girls in Class VI = 4 x 4 = 16 and
= 14 number of girls in Class V = 2 ½ x 4
2½ x4=8+2 = 10 ( 8 + 2)
= 10
4 x 4 = 16 So, number of girl students in Class VI is not
less than that of in Class V.
3 x 4 = 12 c) How many girls are there in Class VII?
1 ½ x 4 = 4 +2 = 6 Ans: Number of girls in Class VII = 3 x 4 = 12
6. The sale of electric bulbs on different days of a b) On which day were the maximum number of bulbs
week is shown below: sold?

were sold?
Ans: The minimum number of bulbs were sold on
Wednesday and Saturday.
e) If one big carton can hold 9 bulbs. How many
cartons were needed in the given week?
Observe the pictograph and answer the following
questions: Ans: Total number of bulbs sold in a week
a) How many bulbs were sold on Friday? = 43 x 2 = 86, 86 ÷ 9 = 9, Remaining 5
Ans: Number of bulbs sold on Friday So, 10 big carton were needed in the given week.
= 7 x 2 = 14
