A total number of animals in five villages are as follows:


Village A: 80


Village B: 120


Village C: 90


Village D: 40


Village E: 60


Prepare a pictograph of these animals using one symbol  to represent 10 animals and answer the following questions:


(a) How many symbols represent animals of village E?


(b) Which village has the maximum number of animals?


(c) Which village have more animals: village A or village C?

We can prepare the pictograph of the given data as follows:






























VILLAGE



NO. OF ANIMALS ( = 10 ANIMALS)



Village A





Village B





Village C





Village D





Village E





(a) Here,


We know that,


= 10 animals


And, it is given that, Village E has 60 animals


Hence, 6 symbols () will represent the animals of village E


(b) We can see that,


Maximum numbers of symbols () are there in the section of village B


And,


= 10 animals


Hence, Village B has a maximum number of animals.


It has 10 × 12 = 120 animals.


(c) We can observe that,


Village A has 8 symbols ()


And, Village C has 9 symbols ()


Now, we know that,


= 10 animals


Therefore, Village A has 80 animals


And, Village C has 90 animals


Clearly, village C has more animals in it.
