Study the bar graph representing the number of persons in various age groups in a town shown in figure. Observe the bar graph and answer the following questions: (i) What is the percentage of the youngest age-group persons over those in the oldest age group? (ii) What is the total population of the town? (iii) What is the number of persons in the age-group 60-65? (iv) How many persons are more in the age-group 10-15 than in the age group 30-35? (v) What is the age-group of exactly 1200 persons living in the town? (vi) What is the total number of persons living in the town in the age-group 50-55? (vii) What is the total number of persons living in the town in the age-groups 10-15 and 60-65? (vii) Whether the population in general increases, decreases or remains constant with the increase in the age-group. |

Answer» (i) Youngest age-group is 10-15 years The number of persons belonging to this group = 1400 The oldest age-group is 70-75 years and The number of persons belonging to this group = 300 Now, The percentage of youngest age-group persons over those in the oldest group is as below: 1400/300 x 100 = 1400/3 (ii) Population of the town = 300 + 800 + 900 + 1000 + 1100 + 1200 + 1400 = 6700 (iii) Number of persons in the age group 60 – 65 = 800. (iv) Number of persons in the age group 10 – 15 = 1400 Number of persons in the age group 30-35 = 1100. Hence the number of more persons in the age group 10 – 15 than the group 30-35 is 1400 — 1100 = 300. (v) Age group of 1200 persons living in the town is 20 – 25. (vi) Total number of persons living in the town in the age-group 50 – 55 is 900. (vii) Total number of persons living in the town in the age-groups 10 -15 and 60 – 65 is 1400 + 800 = 2200. (viii) We have observed that, the height of the bars decreases as the age-group increases. Hence, the population decreases with the increases in the age-group. |
