Question 1.

Mudhol Hounds (a type of breed of Indian dogs) are largely found in North Karnataka’s Bagalkote and Vijaypura districts. The government took an initiative to protect this breed by providing support to those who adopted these dogs. Due to this initiative, the number of these dogs increased. The number of Mudhol dogs in six villages of Karnataka are as follows — Village A : 18, Village B : 36, Village C : 12, Village D : 48, Village E : 18, Village F : 24 Class 6

Prepare a pictograph and answer the following questions :

(a) What will be a useful scale or key to draw this pictograph?

(b) How many symbols will you use to represent the dogs in Village B?

(c) Kamini said that the number of dogs in Village B and Village D together will be more than the number of dogs in the other 4 villages. Is she right? Give reasons for your response.

Solution:

Note : Do as directed.

(a) A useful scale or .key to draw this pictograph will be take 1 symbol = 6 dogs.

(b) For dogs of village B, we will use [latex]\frac{36}{6}[/latex] = 6 symbols.

(c) Yes, she is correct. Dogs of village B + dogs of village D = 36 + 48 = 84. Dogs of remaining villages = 18 + 12 + 18 + 24 = 72 and 84 is more than 72.
