Table A below provides data about ages of children in a school. For the age given in the first column, the second column gives the number of children not exceeding that age. For example, first entry indicates that there are 9 children aged 4 years or less. Tables B and C provide data on the heights and weights respectively of the same group of children in a similar format. Assuming that an older child is always taller and weighs more than a younger child, answer the following questions.

​​​​​​​

 

Among the children older than 6 years but not exceeding 12 years, how many weigh more than 38 kg?

Answer & solution

  • A

    34

  • B

    52

  • 44

  • D

    Cannot be determined

Solution

Number of students up to age 12 = 77

Number of students up to weight 38 kg = 33

∴ Number of children weighing more than 38 kg but not older than 12 years

= 77 − 33

= 44

Hence, option (c).
