Question

The given bar graph shows the production of onions (in quintals) from the year 2018 to 2022. Study the graph and answer the question that follows.

Considering the average production during this period, the number of years in which the production is above the average is:

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 1
• D. 4

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2

From the bar graph, the production values are:

• 2018 → 632

• 2019 → 876

• 2020 → 531

• 2021 → 426

• 2022 → 785

  Average production

$\frac{632+876+531+426+785}{5}$

$=\frac{3250}{5}=650$

Now compare each year with the average (650):

• 2018 → 632 (below)

• 2019 → 876 (above)

• 2020 → 531 (below)

• 2021 → 426 (below)

• 2022 → 785 (above)

So, the number of years in which production is above average is:

$\boxed{2}$
