Figure 5 below shows the number of cars and bikes in the parking areas. Which of the following statement(s) is/are not correct. 1. The average number of cars per parking area is 222.5. 2. The total number of bikes in P1 and P4 is 195.83 percent of the total number of cars in P2 and P5. Correct Answer Both 1 and 2
Given:
Bikes in P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 respectively = 230, 195, 300, 40, 300
Cars in P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 respectively = 120, 80, 240, 250, 160
Concept:
Average = (The sum of all items)/(The total number of items)
Calculation:
From statement 1
⇒ The average of cars = (120 + 80 + 240 + 250 + 160)/5 = 850/5 = 170
⇒ Hence, the statement 1 is wrong
From statement 2
⇒ Total bikes in P1 and P4 = 230 + 40 = 270
⇒ Total cars in P2 and P5 = 80 + 160 = 240
⇒ The required percentage = (270/240) × 100 = 112.5%
⇒ Hence, statement 2 is wrong
∴ The required result will be "Both 1 and 2".
