Study the given graph and answer the question that follows. The graph shows the number of students who play Cricket, Badminton, Football, Basketball and other sports (Others).
Graph data summary:
What percentage of students play cricket as compared to the total number of students who play any of the sports?
20%
25%
30%
35%
25%
Calculate the total sum (25+30+20+15+10 = 100), then the cricket percentage is simply (Cricket/Total) * 100 = (25/100) * 100 = 25%.
Cricket = 25, Badminton = 30, Football = 20, Basketball = 15, Others = 10
Percentage=(Total StudentsCricket Students)×100
Calculate the total sum (25+30+20+15+10 = 100), then the cricket percentage is simply (Cricket/Total) * 100 = (25/100) * 100 = 25%.
Forgetting to include all sports categories in the total count (e.g., missing the 'Others' category).
Calculate Total Students
Sum the number of students from all categories: 25+30+20+15+10=100.
Total=100
Identify Cricket Participants
From the graph, the number of students playing cricket is 25.
Cricket=25
Calculate Percentage
Divide the cricket participants by the total and multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
10025×100=25%
B is correct because the calculation of 25 students out of a total of 100 students results in exactly 25%.
This type of graph (Line Graph) is common in RRB exams; always verify the x-axis labels to ensure you capture every category for the total sum.
