(a) How many children spend at least one hour in playing games?

(b) How many children spend more than 2 hours in playing games?

Philoid · Accepted Answer

(a) 6% children spend less 1 hour in playing games

Children who spend at least 2 hours = 100% – 6%

Children who spend at least 2 hours = 94%

⇒ No. of children spending atleast 2 hours = 329

(b) 34% children spend 3 hours in playing games

10% children spend 4 hours in playing games

4% children spend 5 hours in playing games

Total no. of children spending more than 2 hours = 34% + 10% + 4%

⇒ Total no. of children spending more than 2 hours = 48%

⇒ No. of children spending more than 2 hours = 168

(c) 6% children spend less than 1 hour in playing games

16% children spend 1 hour in playing games

30% children spend 2 hours in playing games

34% children spend 3 hours in playing games

Total no. of children spending 3 or lesser hours =

6% + 16% + 30% + 34%

⇒ Total no. of children spending 3 or lesser hours = 86%

⇒ No. of children spending 3 or lesser hours = 301

(d) No. of children who spent 2 hours or more = 30% + 34% + 10% + 4%

⇒ No. of children who spent 2 hours or more = 78%

And,

No. of children who spent less than 1 hour = 6%

Clearly,

No. of children who spent 2 hours or more is greater
