In this article, the candidates are shared the best approaches to solve Line Graph Questions. A-Line Graph is the innovative version of Bar Graph representation. If you connect the upper point of the first Bar to the upper point of the second Bar and then tie these dots, you will get a line. Repeating the procedure gives us the Line Graph representation. A-Line Graph looks like this:
Important Points
While solving the line chart questions, some points are very crucial to follow, which are mentioned below -
- Read the question as well as the instruction before attempting the questions.
- Comprehend and then analyze the data which is given in Line Graph Problems.
- Have a good knowledge of Percentage, Fraction Conversion, and fraction values.
- Don't get into the trap of escalated calculation which consumes a lot of time.
- Stick to the given data instead of making your own assumption.
- Try to evolve your own method when the question consists of long addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to get the correct answer for which you can use some easiest tricks as well.
- Have your basic concept clear about the Data Interpretation which is generally made of Percentage, Average, Ratio & Proportion.
- It is mandatory to learn the tables from 1 to 30. Also, cubes till 20 to do the calculation part before the time.
Line Graph Data Interpretation Study Notes How to approach Averages? Tips & Tricks |
Important Formulae :
- Average = (Sum of all the values/Number of values)
- Ratio = Comparison of likes terms in their simplest terms.
- x is what percentage of y = x/y *100
- Percentage Change = (Final Value - Initial Value)/Initial Value *100
- X is what percent more or less than y = (x-y)/y * 100
Now, let's understand the topic with the help of the following examples:
Direction: Study the following graph carefully to answer the question that follows:
Number of Employees (in hundreds) working in various departments of two different companies A and B.
Steps to Solve
Question: 1 The number of employees working in the marketing department of Company B is what percent of the total number of employees of the same company?
A. 30
B. 28
C. 23
D. 32
E. None of these
The answer is B.
Number of employees working in the marketing department of Company B = 700
Total number of employees of Company B
= 750 + 500 + 700 + 350 + 200
= 2500
Required % = 700/2500 X 100 = 28%
Question 2: What is the respective ratio of the total number of employees working in the administrative departments of both companies to the total number of employees working in the Finance departments of both companies?
A. 2:3
B. 4:3
C. 3:2
D. 3:4
E. None of these
The answer is D.
Total number of employees of administration in both companies
= 400 + 200 = 600
Total number employees of finance in both companies = 450 + 350 = 800
Required ratio = 600/800 = 3:4
Question 3: The number of employees working in the HR department of Company A is approximately what percent of the number of employees working in the Finance department of Company B?
A. 44
B. 207
C. 53
D. 229
E. 198
The answer is D.
Number of employees working in HR in Company A = 800
Number of employees working in finance in Company B = 350
Required % = (800/350) X 100 = 228.5% = 229%
Question 4: If the number of employees working in the IT department of Company B is increased by 20% then what will be the difference between the number of employees working in the IT department of Company B and the Administration department of Company A?
A. 500
B. 350
C. 700
D. 400
E. None of these
The answer is A.
Number of employees working in IT of Company B after 20% increase = 750 X (120/100) = 900
Number of employees working in the administration of Company A = 400
Required difference = 900 – 400 = 500
A. 30
B. 25
C. 20
D. 15
E. None of these
The answer is E.
The average number of employees working in all the departments of Company A = (550+800+850+450+400)/5 = 3050/5 = 610
The average number of employees working in IT, Marketing, and Finance departments of Company B = (750+700+350)/3 = 600
Required difference = 610 − 600 = 10
