(1) The following table shows the number of Buses and Trucks in nearest lakh units. Draw percentage bar-diagram. (Approximate the percentages to the nearest integer)
| Year | No. of trucks | No. of buses |
| 2006 - 2007 | 47 | 9 |
| 2007 - 2008 | 56 | 13 |
| 2008 - 2009 | 60 | 16 |
| 2009 - 2010 | 63 | 18 |
Solution:
Let’s prepare a table as shown below:
| Year | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 |
| No. of Trucks | 47 | 56 | 60 | 63 |
| No. of Buses | 9 | 13 | 16 | 18 |
| Total | 56 | 69 | 76 | 81 |
| % of Trucks | ||||
| % of Buses |
Now, let’s calculate the percentage for Trucks and Buses:-
2006-2007:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{47}{56} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{4700}{56}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{4700}{56}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = 83.92\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} \approx 84\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Buses} = 100 - 84 = 16\)
2007-2008:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{56}{69} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{5600}{69}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = 81.15\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} \approx 81\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Buses} = 100 - 81 = 19\)
2008-2009:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{60}{76} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{6000}{76}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = 78.94\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} \approx 79\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Buses} = 100 - 79 = 21\)
2009-2010:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{63}{81} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = \frac{6300}{81}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} = 77.77\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Trucks} \approx 78\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Buses} = 100 - 78 = 22\)
Now, the completed table is given below:
| Year | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 |
| No. of Trucks | 47 | 56 | 60 | 63 |
| No. of Buses | 9 | 13 | 16 | 18 |
| Total | 56 | 69 | 76 | 81 |
| % of Trucks | 84 | 81 | 79 | 78 |
| % of Buses | 16 | 19 | 21 | 22 |

(2) In the table given below, the information is given about roads. Using this draw sub-divided and percentage bar diagram. (Approximate the percentages to the nearest integer)
| Year | Permanent Roads (Lakh km) |
Temporary Roads (Lakh km) |
| 2000 - 2001 | 14 | 10 |
| 2001 - 2002 | 15 | 11 |
| 2002 - 2003 | 17 | 13 |
| 2003 - 2004 | 20 | 19 |
Solution:
Let’s prepare a table as shown below:
| Year | 2000-01 | 2001-02 | 2002-03 | 2003-04 |
| Permanent Roads | 14 | 15 | 17 | 20 |
| Temporary Roads | 10 | 11 | 13 | 19 |
| Total | 24 | 26 | 30 | 39 |
| % of Permanent Roads | ||||
| % of Temporary Roads |
Now, let’s calculate the percentage for Permanent Roads and Temporary Roads:-
2000-01:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{14}{24} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{1400}{24}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = 58.33\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} \approx 58\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Temporary Roads} = 100 - 58 = 42\)
2001-02:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{15}{26} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{1500}{26}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = 57.69\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} \approx 58\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Temporary Roads} = 100 - 58 = 42\)
2002-03:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{17}{30} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{1700}{30}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = 56.66\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} \approx 57\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Temporary Roads} = 100 - 57 = 43\)
2003-04:
\(\displaystyle \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{20}{39} \times 100\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = \frac{2000}{39}\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} = 51.28\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Permanent Roads} \approx 51\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \text {Percentage of Temporary Roads} = 100 - 51 = 49\)
Now, the completed table is given below:
| Year | 2000-01 | 2001-02 | 2002-03 | 2003-04 |
| Permanent Roads | 14 | 15 | 17 | 20 |
| Temporary Roads | 10 | 11 | 13 | 19 |
| Total | 24 | 26 | 30 | 39 |
| % of Permanent Roads | 58 | 58 | 57 | 51 |
| % of Temporary Roads | 42 | 42 | 43 | 49 |
