Question
32. 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:
Table:
“Name of the Fruit”, “Number of Children”
“Apple”, “28”
“Guava”, “26”
“Mangoes”, “44”
“Banana”, “14”
“Grapes”, “28”
Choose the correct option:
(1) Equal number of children have Apple and Guava as their favourite fruit.
(2) The difference between the number of childrens who like grapes and those who like bananas is 16.
(3) The number of children who like Mangoes and Banana is two times the number of children who like Guava.
(4) Ten children do not like any fruit given in the table.

कारण: Total number of children who like the fruits in the table: 28 (Apple) + 26 (Guava) + 44 (Mangoes) + 14 (Banana) + 28 (Grapes) = 140 children.
The total number of children in Class III is 150.
So, the number of children who do not like any fruit = 150 – 140 = 10 children.
Checking other options:
(1) Apple (28) and Guava (26) are not an equal number.
(2) Difference between Grapes (28) and Banana (14) = 28 – 14 = 14, not 16.
(3) Total number of children who like Mangoes (44) and Banana (14) = 44 + 14 = 58. Double the number of children who like Guava (26 * 2 = 52). 58 ≠ 52.
Hence, option (4) is correct.
