The line chart given below shows the pocket money of six boys B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 in a month. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? I. Pocket money of B2 is 5.25 per cent less than the pocket money of B5. II. Pocket money of B4 is 6.25 per cent less than the pocket money of B5. III. Average pocket money of all the six boys is Rs. 2262.5 Correct Answer Only II

Given:

The pocket money of B1 = 1850

The pocket money of B2 = 2075

The pocket money of B3 = 2800

The pocket money of B4 = 2250

The pocket money of B5 = 2400

The pocket money of B6 = 1600

Concept:

The average = (The total sum of all items)/(The total number of items)

The gain marks percentage = {(The again marks)/(The total number of marks)} × 100

Calculation:

For statement l

⇒ The required % = {(2400 - 2075)/2400} × 100 = 0.1354 × 100 = 13.54%

⇒ Hence, statement l is wrong

For statement ll

⇒ The required percentage = {(2400 - 2250)/2400} × 100 = 0.0625 × 100 = 6.25%

⇒ Hence, statement ll is correct

For statement lll

⇒ The average = (1850 + 2075 + 2800 + 2250 + 2400 + 1600)/6 = 12975/6 = 2162.5

⇒ Hence, statement lll is incorrrect

∴ The required result will be "Only ll".
