Let's solve each question step by step by reading the bar graph.
---
Understanding the Graph:
-
Vertical axis (Y-axis): Shows the "Number of Students" — scale goes from 0 to 50, with marks every 10 units.
-
Horizontal axis (X-axis): Shows the "Colours" — Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green, Black.
- Each bar’s height tells us how many students like that color.

Question 1: How many students like red?
Look at the
Red bar. Its top aligns exactly with the
50 mark on the vertical axis.
✔ Answer: 50

Question 2: How many students like yellow and blue?
We need to find the number for
Yellow and
Blue, then add them.
-
Yellow bar reaches the
20 mark.
-
Blue bar is halfway between 20 and 30 → so it’s
25.
Add them:
20 (Yellow) + 25 (Blue) =
45
✔ Answer: 45

Question 3: How many students are there in the class?
This means we need to add up
all the students who like any of the colors shown.
From the graph:
- Red: 50
- Yellow: 20
- Blue: 25
- Orange: 30 (bar reaches 30)
- Green: 10 (bar reaches 10)
- Black: 40 (bar reaches 40)
Now add them all:
50 + 20 = 70
70 + 25 = 95
95 + 30 = 125
125 + 10 = 135
135 + 40 =
175
✔ Answer: 175

Question 4: How many students like green, orange and black?
Add the numbers for these three colors:
- Green: 10
- Orange: 30
- Black: 40
10 + 30 = 40
40 + 40 =
80
✔ Answer: 80
