Question 1. The following table shows the weight of paddy cultivated in a particular village during the years 2010 to 2015. Observe the pictograph and answer the following questions.
(a) In which year paddy production was maximum?
(b) In which year paddy production were equal?
(c) Find the quantity of paddy production in 2015.
(d) Find the total quantity of paddy production particularly 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Answer:
(a) In the year 2010, the paddy production was at its highest, reaching 500 kg. The pictograph shows the most paddy symbols for this year.
(b) Paddy production was the same in the years 2012 and 2014, with each year producing 200 kg. This indicates that these two years had identical harvests.
(c) The quantity of paddy produced in 2015 was 200 kg.
(d) The total quantity of paddy production for the years 2013, 2014, and 2015 is calculated by adding the amounts for each year: \( 200 + 300 + 200 = 700 \) kg.
In simple words: Use the picture table to see how much paddy was grown each year. For part (a), find the year with the most paddy symbols. For part (b), find the years that have the same number of symbols. For part (c), count the symbols for 2015 and multiply by 100 kg. For part (d), add up the paddy amounts given for 2013, 2014, and 2015.

🎯 Exam Tip: Always refer to the key of a pictograph to correctly interpret what each symbol represents before counting and performing calculations.

 

Question 2. The total number of pupil studying in 5 schools in a particular area are as follows: GHSS: 1000, PUPS: 200, BHSS: 400, PUMS: 400, Private nursery School: 800. Prepare a pictograph using the symbol ☺ to represent 100 Pupil and answer the following question:
1. Which school has the maximum number of pupil?
2. Which school has the least number of pupil?
Answer:

1. GHSS has the maximum number of pupils, with 1000 students. This is clearly shown by the ten smiley symbols in the pictograph. 2. PUPS has the least number of pupils, with 200 students. This is represented by only two smiley symbols in the pictograph.
In simple words: First, create a picture graph where each smiley face counts as 100 students. Then, count the number of smiley faces for each school based on their total student count. After making the graph, look to see which school has the most faces to find the maximum number of students, and which has the fewest faces for the least number of students.

🎯 Exam Tip: When drawing a pictograph, ensure that your chosen symbol is appropriate and that the key clearly states what each symbol represents for easy understanding.
