The given bar graph shows the number of cars sold by two showrooms in five months. Study the graph carefully and answer the following questions

(a) How many less cars were sold by Showroom P than Showroom Q in January, March and April altogether?
(b) Find the ratio of total cars sold in February to the total number of cars sold in 5 months.

Options

A. `{:(""(a),(b)),(8000,12:49):}`
B. `{:(""(a),(b)),(8000,17:50):}`
C. `{:(""(a),(b)),(7500,17:50):}`
D. `{:(""(a),(b)),(7500,12:49):}`

Answer

D

Explanation

(a) Number of cars sold by Showroom P in January, March and April together = 6000 + 7500 + 4500 = 18000 Number of cars sold by Showroom Q in January, March and April together = 4500 + 12000 + 9000 = 25500 .
`:.` Required difference = 25500 - 18000 = 7500
(b) Total cars sold in February = 10500 + 7500 = 18000
Total number of cars sold in 5 months = 6000 + 4500 + 10500 + 7500 + 7500 + 12000 + 4500 + 9000 + 6000 + 6000 = 73500
`:.` Required ratio `=(18000)/(73500)=(12)/(49)` i.e., `12:49`
