Mathematics Question on Introduction to Graphs
The following line graph shows the yearly sales figure for a manufacturing company.
- What were the sales in (i) 2002 (ii) 2006?
- What were the sales in (i) 2003 (ii) 2005?
- Compute the difference between the sales in 2002 and 2006.
- In which year was there the greatest difference between the sales as compared to its previous year?
(a)
(i) In 2002, the sales were Rs 4 crores.
(ii) In 2006, the sales were Rs 8 crores.
(b)
(i) In 2003, the sales were Rs 7 crores.
(ii) In 2005, the sales were Rs 10 crores.
(c)
(i) In 2002, the sales were Rs 4 crores and in 2006, the sales were Rs 8 crores.
Difference between the sales in 2002 and 2006
= Rs (8−4) crores
= Rs 4 crores
(d) Difference between the sales of the year 2006 and 2005
= Rs (10−8)crores = Rs 2 crores
Difference between the sales of the year 2005 and 2004
= Rs (10−6) crores
= Rs 4 crores
Difference between the sales of the year 2004 and 2003
= Rs (7−6) crore = Rs 1 crore
Difference between the sales of the year 2003 and 2002
= Rs (7−4) crores = Rs 3 crores
Hence, the difference was the maximum in the year 2005 as compared to its previous year 2004.
