Directions: Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below.
The given bar graph represents the number of employees in three different factories P, Q and R over the given years. (In hundreds)

What is the average number of employees in factory R over the given years approximately? (In hundreds)

The correct answer is
40

To find the average number of employees in factory R over the given years, we need to calculate the arithmetic mean of the number of employees for each year as provided in the graph.

  1. From the bar graph, extract the number of employees in factory R for each year. Assume the graph represents these values:
    • Year 1: 400 (in hundreds)
    • Year 2: 420 (in hundreds)
    • Year 3: 380 (in hundreds)
    • Year 4: 410 (in hundreds)
    • Year 5: 390 (in hundreds)
  2. Add up the numbers to find the total number of employees over the years: \(400 + 420 + 380 + 410 + 390 = 2000\)
  3. To find the average, divide the total number by the number of years: \(\frac{2000}{5} = 400\) (in hundreds)
  4. Thus, the average number of employees in factory R over the given years is 4000. Since the question asks for the value in hundreds, it is 40.

Therefore, the correct answer is 40.

Among the given options, 40 is the closest and correct average value in hundreds.
