Given:
Symbol = 6 sources
Concept used:
Pictograph: A pictograph is a graph that shows numerical information by using picture symbols or icons to represent data sets
Calculation:
The number of wells getting polluted = 24 = 4 × 6 =
The number of Handpump getting polluted = 12 = 2 × 6 =
The number of Dam getting polluted = 12 = 2 × 6 =
The number of Borewell getting polluted = 6 = 1 × 6 =
The number of Ponds getting polluted = 18 = 3 × 6 =
This satisfies with the option B
∴ The correct answer is option B
