उत्तर
a. A double bar graph is shown below:

We infer from the bar graph that maximum number of students were absent in class VI on 15.04.2009, whereas minimum number of students were absent in class X.
b. Clearly, class VIII has maximum number of students, i.e. 95.
c. The difference of total number of students and number of students present is minimum for class X i.e. 63 – 62 = 1.
d. Number of students present in class IX = 65
Total number of students in class IX = 70
Hence, required ratio = `65/70 = 13/14` or 13 : 14
e. Total number of students in class VI = 90
Number of students present in class VI = 81
Number of absent students = 90 – 81 = 9
∴ Percentage of absent students of class VI
= `("Number of absent students"/"Total number of students" xx 100)%`
= `(9/90 xx 100)%`
= 10%
