The Sankey diagram shows food preferences of males and females. The widths of the bands are proportional to numbers of persons opting for a given food item.

 Which one of the following is an INCORRECT statement about the food preferences?

The correct answer is
Fewer females prefer rice than the total number of males preferring maize and millet.

The Sankey diagram provided illustrates the food preferences among males and females, with the width of each band representing the number of persons opting for each food item.

To determine the incorrect statement from the given options, let's analyze each one:

  1. Chicken is the second most preferred food in males.
    • In the diagram, after examining the widths, rice appears the widest, and chicken can be identified as the second widest for males.
    • This statement is correct.
  2. As compared to males, more females prefer wheat.
    • The diagram shows that the band for wheat is wider for females than for males.
    • This statement is correct.
  3. As compared to males, more females prefer mutton and millet.
    • The bands for mutton and millet are wider for females than for males.
    • This statement is correct.
  4. Fewer females prefer rice than the total number of males preferring maize and millet.
    • Analyzing the diagram, the band for females preferring rice is relatively wide.
    • The summed widths for males preferring maize and millet do not exceed the female rice preference.
    • This statement is incorrect.

Conclusion: The statement "Fewer females prefer rice than the total number of males preferring maize and millet" is incorrect based on the analysis of the Sankey diagram.
