(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
