Solution
(1) The total number of news papers published in Hindi, English, Urdu, Punjabi and Bengali is
=3700+ 3400+ 700+ 200+ 1100
=9100.
(2) The total number of news papers published is
= 700 +400 +1000 + 200 +1400 +1400 + 700 +1100 +3400 +1100
=14,400
The number of news papers published in Hindi is 3700. The percentage of published Hindi news papers is
`3700/14400 xx 100`
`3700/144`
=25.7% .
(3) The number of news papers published in English and Urdu are 3400 and 700 respectively. Hence, the excess of the number of news papers published in English over those published in Urdu is
3400-700
=2700
(4) According to the length of the 5th and 6th bars from the top, the number of news papers published in Marathi and Malayalam are same. According to the length of the 1st and 3rd bars from the bottom, the number of news papers published in Bengali and Gujrati are same.
