Pick the INCORRECT statement.

The correct answer is
The highest price never crossed 75

To solve this question, we need to analyze the given graph depicting the petrol prices for the months of April, May, and June. Let's examine each statement to determine which is incorrect.

  1. Check if "The highest price never crossed 75":
    • From the graph, it is evident that the highest price during May and June crosses 75. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
  2. Check if "The largest difference between the highest and lowest price was for the month of June":
    • From the graph:
      • April: Highest ~77, Lowest ~67. Difference = 10.
      • May: Highest ~78, Lowest ~71. Difference = 7.
      • June: Highest ~79, Lowest ~68. Difference = 11.
      The largest difference is indeed for June. Hence, this statement is correct.
  3. Check if "Month of June showed the largest decrease of price between the opening date and closing date price":
    • From the graph:
      • April: Opening ~72, Closing ~73. Change = +1.
      • May: Opening ~73, Closing ~75. Change = +2.
      • June: Opening ~78, Closing ~71. Change = -7.
      June shows the largest decrease. Hence, this statement is correct.
  4. Check if "All depicted prices lie between 70 and 80":
    • From the graph, the lowest price for April falls below 70. Thus, this statement is incorrect.

Conclusion: The incorrect statement is: "The highest price never crossed 75."
