The given graph shows rainfall in centimetres in the cities M, N, O and P from 2001 to 2005. Study the graph and answer the question.

Which city has recorded maximum rainfall on an average?

Correct option is A

Solution:    

The following data represents the rainfall (in centimeters) for cities M, N, O, and P from 2001 to 2005:

M: 160, 140, 160, 160, 170

N: 160, 160, 170, 150, 190

O: 130, 120, 130, 120, 130

P: 100, 150, 120, 100, 180

To find the city with the maximum average rainfall, we calculate the average rainfall for each city as follows:

Average rainfall for M = (160 +140+160 +160 +170) / 5

= 158 cm

Average rainfall for N = (160+ 160+170+ 150+190) / 5

= 166 cm

Average rainfall for O = (130 +120 + 130 + 120 +130) / 5

= 126 cm

Average rainfall for P = (100 +150 +120 + 100 + 180) / 5

= 130 cm

Therefore, the city with the maximum average rainfall is n, with an average rainfall of 166    .00 cm.
