## Text Solution

What is known?

Number of children in different classes.

Reasoning:

We have to draw the graph by using the data.

Steps:

a) Scale on y-axis is $$1$$ unit $$= 10$$ children

b)

(i)

• Fifth class has maximum number of children i.e. $$135$$
• Tenth class has the minimum number of children i.e. $$80$$

(ii)

Number of students in class sixth $$=$$ $$120$$

Number of students in class eighth $$=$$ $$100$$

\begin{align} \text{Ratio }&=\frac{\left( \begin{align} & \text{Number of students} \\ & \text{in class sixth} \\ \end{align} \right)}{\left( \begin{align} & \text{Number of students} \\ & \text{in class eighth} \\ \end{align} \right)} \\ & =\frac{120}{100} \\ & =\frac{6}{5} \\ & =6:5 \end{align}
