• B. 18
• C. 7
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 7

Solution: Given: The number of times the annual rainfall is 100-110 cm = 5 The number of times the annual rainfall is 110-120 cm = 6 The number of times the annual rainfall is 120-130 cm = 7 The number of times the annual rainfall is 130-140 cm = 2 The number of times the annual rainfall is 140-150 cm = 9 Calculation: The number of times the annual rainfall above 130 cm = 2 + 9 = 11 The number of times the annual rainfall below 130 cm = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 The difference in the number of times the rainfall above 130 cm and the number of times the annual rainfall below 130 cm = 18 - 11 = 7 ∴ '7' is the required answer.
