(d) How may total students went abroad to study between 2014 and 2018 including both the year.
Answer:

(a) Maximum number in the bar graph is 2400 in 2018.
Hence in 2018 maximum number of students went abroad.

(b) Minimum number in the bar graph is 1000 in 2014.
Hence in 2014 minimum number of students went abroad.

(c) Students who went to abroad in 2015 = 1200
Students who went to abroad in 2016 = 1600
Students who went to abroad in 2017 = 2000
Hence total number of students who went abroad to study between 2015 and 2017 = 1200+ 1600 + 2000 = 4800

(d) Students who went to abroad in 2014 = 1000
Students who went to abroad in 2015 = 1200
Students who went to abroad in 2016 = 1600
Students who went to abroad in 2017 = 2000
Students who went to abroad in 2018 = 2400
Hence total number of students who went abroad to study between 2014 and 2018 = 1000 + 1200 + 1600 + 2000 + 2400 = 8200

Question 15.
The population (in lakhs) of four major cities in India in a particular year is given below:
