Multiple choice

The given table shows interest earned on deposits for a year: Deposit (in Rs.) 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Simple Interest (in Rs.) 80 160 240 320 400 What type of graph will we get for the above given table?

  1. Non-linear graph

  2. Linear graph

  3. Pie graph

  4. Histogram
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio of interest to deposit is constant (80/1000 = 0.08). Since the relationship is proportional (y = 0.08x), the graph is a straight line passing through the origin.

AI explanation

A linear graph represents a relationship where the ratio between two quantities is constant, known as direct variation. Because the simple interest earned is directly proportional to the deposit amount, increasing by a steady Rs. 80 for every Rs. 1000, plotting these values will form a straight line. Therefore, the resulting graph is a linear graph.
