In class III, 150 children were asked to name their one favourite fruit and results for 5 favourite fruits were written in the form of the following table :

Name of the FruitNumber of Children
Apple28
Guava26
Mangoes44
Banana14
Grapes28

Choose the correct option :

  • A.Equal number of children have Apple and Guava as their favourite fruit.
  • B.The difference between the number of childrens who like grapes and those who like bananas is 16.
  • C.The number of children who like Mangoes and Banana is two times the number of children who like Guava.
  • D.Ten children do not like any fruit given in the table.

Answer: D

The correct statement is Ten children do not like any fruit given in the table.

Add the children in the table:

\[ 28 + 26 + 44 + 14 + 28 = 140 \]

150 children were asked, so 150 − 140 = 10 children named some other fruit.

The other statements fail on the numbers. Apple (28) and Guava (26) are not equal. Grapes minus Banana is 28 − 14 = 14, not 16. Mangoes and Banana together make 44 + 14 = 58, while twice Guava is 2 × 26 = 52, so that is not 'two times' either.
