Solution
(i) Given bar graph represents the number of commercial banks in India during some years.
(ii) The number of commercial banks in 1977 was
`120+(140-120)/2`
`=120+20/2`
=120+10
= 130.
(iii) The ratio of the number of commercial banks in 1969 was
`80 +(100-80)/2`
`=80+20/2`
=80+10
= 90
The number of commercial banks in 1980 was
`140+(160-140)/2`
`=140+20/2`
= 140+10
= 150
Hence, the required ratio is
`90/150`
=`3/5`
=3: 5
(iv) The number of commercial banks in 1983 was
`220+(240-220)/2`
`220+20/2`
=220+10
= 230
The number of commercial banks in 1969 was 90. When we multiply this number by 2, it becomes
2 × 90
= 180
Clearly, 230 is not less than 180.
Hence the statement is false.
