Direction (1-2) : Study the following table which shows the production of three different types of cars over the years.
The difference between the total production of three cars in the year $2004$ and $2006$ is _____.

  1. $11$
  2. $43$
  3. $31$
  4. $28$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Total production of cars In year $2004$
$= 70 + 54 + 31 = 155$
Total production of cars in year $2006$
$= 80 + 68 + 38 = 186$
Hence, difference between the total production of three cars in the year $2004$ and $2006$
$= 186- 155 = 31$

Direction (1-2) : Study the following table which shows the production of three different types of cars over the years.
The average production of which of the following types of cars was maximum?

  1. $Q$
  2. $P$
  3. $R$

  4. All are equal
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Average production of Car $P$
$=$ $\dfrac {\text{Sum of production of Car P in each year}}{\text{Total number of years}}$
$=$ $\dfrac {76 + 82 + 65 + 70 + 85 + 80}{6}$ $=$ $\dfrac {458}{6}$ $= 76.33$
Average production of Car $Q$
$=$ $\dfrac {59 + 62 + 47 + 54 + 57 + 68}{6}$ $=$ $\dfrac {347}{6}$ $= 57.83$
Average production of Car $R$
$=$ $\dfrac {28 + 36 + 42 + 31 + 49 + 38}{6}$ $=$ $\dfrac {224}{6}$ $= 37.33$
Clearly, average production of Car $P$ is greater than Car $Q$ and Car $R$.
Hence, the average production of Car $P$ is maximum.
