(b) In May, her saving is maximum.
(c) Economy saving for future planning.
9.
(a) Class X has minimum number of scouts i.e. 10.
(b) Class VIII has maximum number of scouts i.e. 60.
(c) Number of scouts in class VI = 40
(d) Number of scouts in class X =10
Hence. class VI has exactly four times the scouts as that of class X.
(e) Total number of scouts in classes VI to X
= 40 + 20 + 60 + 30 + 10 = 160.

To draw the bar graph, we will use the following steps:
(i) Firstly, draw two perpendicular lines, one is horizontal and one is vertical. Along the horizontal line, mark 'age-group' and along vertical line mark 'number of persons'.
(ii) Now, take scale of 1 unit length = 20000 along the vertical line and then mark the corresponding values.
Also, the heights of bars for various groups are as follows:
| 1-14 | \(\frac{200000}{20000}=10\) units |
| 15-29 | \(\frac{160000}{20000}=8\) units |
| 30-44 | \(\frac{120000}{20000}=6\) units |
| 45-59 | \(\frac{120000}{20000}=6\) units |
| 60-74 | \(\frac{80000}{20000}=4\) units |
| 75 and above | \(\frac{40000}{20000}=2\) units |
(iii) Draw bar of equal width and of height calculated in Step (ii) on the horizontal line with equal gaps between them.
Thus,we get the following bar graph

(a) From bar graph, we see that the lengths of bars for age group 30-44 and 45-59 are same, so age group (30 - 44) and (45 - 59) have the same population.
(b) Persons having age 60 or above are called senior citizens.
\(\therefore\) Number of senior citizens in the town
= Number of persons of age group (60 - 74) + Number of persons of age 75 and above
= 80000 + 40000 = 120000.

The table with tally marks is shown below:

(a) Here, we have to find out the students, who obtained marks equal to 7 or more than 7. So, we have to add the number of students who obtained marks equal to 7 or more than 7 i.e. 7, 8 and 9.
\(\therefore\) Number of those students = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12
Hence, 12 students obtained marks equal to 7 or more than 7.
(b) Here, we have to find out the students who obtained marks below 4.
So, we have to add the number of students who obtained marks below 4 i.e. 1, 2 and 3.
\(\therefore\) Number of those students = 3 + 3 + 2 = 8
Hence, 8 students obtained marks below 4.
12.
