Answers
Answer:
Given: Total apple=24 kg
Let us consider the number of apples sold at a loss of 5% as x
Then the apples sold at a gain of 20%=24−x
Then, total SP =Rs.[120% of (24−x)+95% of x]
=Rs. [
5
6
(24−x)+
20
19x
]
=Rs. (
20
576−5x
)
Given, the seller earns a profit of 10%
⇒
20
576−5x
=110% of 24
⇒
20
576−5x
=
10
264
⇒ 576−5x=528
⇒ 5x=48
⇒ x=9.6 kg

The difference between the quantities of apples sold on Thursday and Friday = 6 kg
Given:
- = 4 kg
- Quantities of apples sold on different five days of a week
To Find:
- The difference between the quantities of apples sold on Thursday and Friday.
Solution:
- In statistics, pictograms are charts in which icons represent numbers to make it more interesting and easier to understand.
- A key is often included to indicate what each icon represents.
- All icons must be of the same size, but a fraction of an icon can be used to show the respective fraction of that amount
- The representation of ‘one picture to many objects’ in a Pictograph is called SCALING.
- Here one = 4 kg
- and half = 2 kg
Apples sold on Thursday = 4 x 4 = 16 kg
Apples sold on Friday = 2.5 x 4 = 10 kg
The difference between the quantities of apples sold on Thursday and Friday = 16 - 10 = 6 kg
Correct option is 6 kg
