Question

Study the following bar graph and answer the question that follows.

In which year was the number of accounts approximately 15% of the total number of accounts in all the years.

A.

Mar 2012

B.

Mar 2010

C.

Mar 2011

D.

Mar 2013

Correct option is B

Given:

Number of BSBD accounts:

March 2010 = 73.45 million

March 2011 = 104.76 million

March 2012 = 138.5 million

March 2013 = 182.06 million

Required: Find the year in which the number of accounts ≈ 15% of the total across all years

Solution:

Total accounts=73.45 + 104.76 + 138.5 + 182.06 = 498.77 million

15% of total =15100×498.77=74.82 million (approx)= \frac{15}{100} \times 498.77 = 74.82 \text{ million (approx)}​​

Now compare 74.82 million with the yearly values:

March 2010 = 73.45 million → Closest to 74.82 million

Answer: March 2010
