The number of girl students in each class of a co-educational middle school is depicted by the pictograph.

Observe this pictograph and answer the following questions:

(a) Which class has the minimum number of girl students?

(b) Is the number of girls in Class VI less than the number of girls in Class V?

(c) How many girls are there in Class VII?

Answer:

In the given pictograph, 1 picture = 4 girls, half picture = 2 girls

(a) Observing the pictograph, it is clear that the minimum number of girl students are in class VIII.

i.e.,       \[4+2=6\]

(b) Observing the pictograph, it is clear that Number of girls in class

\[VI=4\times 4=16\]

and number of girls in class

\[V=2\times 4+1\times 2\]

\[=8+2=10\]

\[\because \]       \[10<16\]

So, it is clear that number of girls in class VI is not less than the number of girls in Class V.

(c) Observing the pictograph, number of girls in class

\[VII=3\times 4=12\]
