GSEB Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter 3 Data Handling Ex 3.3 3
(a) How would you choose a scale?
(b) Answer the following questions:
(i) Which class has the maximum number of children? And the minimum?
(ii) Find the ratio of students of class sixth to the students of class eight.
Solution:
(a) Here the greatest value in the data is 135 which is less than 140. Therefore we can choose the scale from 0 to 140 which is neither too long nor too small. By choosing a scale: 1 unit = 10 students and taking class along x-axis, we draw the bar graph as shown:

(b) (i) Fifth class is having the maximum number of children, i.e. 135 children. Tenth class is having the minimum number of children, i.e. 80 children

(ii) āˆµ Number of children in sixth class = 120
Number of children in eighth class =100
āˆ“ The required ratio = \(\frac { 120 }{ 100 }\)
= \(\frac { 6 }{ 5 }\)
= 6 : 5

Question 4.
The performance of a student in 1st Term and 2nd Term is given. Draw a double bar graph choosing appropriate scale and answer the following:

(i) In which subject, has the child improved his performance the most?
(ii) In which subject is the improvement the least2
(iii) Has the performance gone down in any subject?
Solution:
The required double bar graph is given below:
GSEB Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter 3 Data Handling Ex 3.3 6
(i) Increase in marks
In English = 70 – 67 = 3
In Hindi = 65 – 72 = – 7
In Maths = 95 – 88 = 7
In Science = 85 – 81 = 4
In Social Science = 75 – 73 = 2
Obviously the performance has improved the most in Maths.

(ii) The performance in Social Science is the least.
