Passage / Data

Answer the following question based on the information given below.

The length of an infant is one of the measures of his/her development in the early stages of his/her life. The figure below shows the growth chart of four infants in the first five months of life.

Among the four infants, who grew the least in the first five months of life?

Answer & solution

  • A

    Geeta

  • Seeta

  • C

    Ram

  • D

    Shyam

Solution

Taking approximate values for the growth rates of the infants we get:

Growth of Seeta in first five months = 58 – 50 = 8

Growth of Geeta in first five months = 62 – 49 = 13

Growth of Ram in first five months = 63 – 52 = 11

Growth of Shyam in first five months = 63 – 54 = 9

Though the growth of Seeta and Shyam is approximately the same but looking at the graph we can see that growth of Seeta is less as compared to Shyam.

Hence, option (b).
