The following bar graph shows the quantity of paddy sold in the month of January, February, March and April. If the difference between quantities of paddy sold in February and April is 6 quintals, then what is the total quantity of paddy sold in January and March in quintal? Correct Answer 24
Given
The difference between quantities of paddy sold in February and April is 6 quintals
Calculation
According to the bar graph,
Quantity of paddy sold in February = 8
And quantity of paddy sold in April = 10
Their difference = 10- 8 = 2
So, 2 quantities on the bar graph implies 6 quintals
∴ 1 quantity on bar graph implies 3 quintals
Total quantity of paddy sold in January and March = 5 + 3 = 8
8 quantities on bar graph implies (3 × 8 = 24) quintals
So, the total quantity of paddy sold in January and March in quintals = 24
