Marks scored by roll no. 1 = 67 +78 + 67 = 212
Marks scored by roll no. 2 = 57 +78 +75 = 210
Marks scored by roll no.3 = 78 + 64 + 72 = 214
Marks scored by roll no. 4 = 84 + 60 + 69 = 213
Marks scored by roll no.5 = 69 + 70 + 73 = 212
a) Maximum marks is scored by roll no. 3 = 214
b) Yes, marks scored by both roll numbers 1 and roll no. 5 are the same = 212
c) Least marks is scored by roll no. 2 = 210

Above data, shows the numbers of cakes Lara, Linda, Sara and Carol have in two weeks.
Numbers of cakes Linda has = (5 + 5) ×5 = 50
Numbers of cakes Lara has = (8 + 8) ×5 = 80
Numbers of cakes Sara has = (4 + 4) ×5 = 40
Numbers of cakes Carol has = (6 + 7) ×5 = 65
a) Numbers of cakes Linda has is 50.
b) Numbers of cakes Carol has is 65
Difference in Carol and Linda = 65 - 50 = 15.
c) Total numbers of cakes =50 + 80 + 40 + 65 = 235.
d) Highest number of cake = 80
Lowest number of cake = 40
So, their difference is the = 80 - 40 = 40.

Total numbers of workers in the industry is 1000
So, workers of shift 1+ workers of shift 2 + Workers of shift 3 =1000
Workers of shift 3 in Monday = 1000 - (300 + 520) = 180
Workers of shift 2 in Tuesday = 1000 - (270 + 470) = 260
Workers of shift 3 in Wednesday = 1000 - (350 + 450) = 200
Workers of shift 2 in Thursday = 1000 - (400 + 250) = 350
Workers of shift 1 in Friday = 1000 - (420 + 330) = 250
Workers of shift 3 in Saturday= 1000 - (500 + 250) = 250
a) The numbers of workers worked on Tuesday in shift 2 = 260
b) Numbers of workers in shift 2 =(520 + 260 + 450 + 350 + 420 + 250 ) = 2250
c) Total numbers of workers in shift 3 =( 180 + 470 + 200 + 250 + 330 + 250 ) = 1680
d) Total number of workers who worked on Saturday in shift 3 = 1000 - (500 + 250) = 250

A bar graph is a chart that uses bars to show comparisons between categories of data. The bars can be either horizontal or vertical. Bar graphs with vertical bars are sometimes called vertical bar graphs. In a bar graph, bars have a uniform width and uniform spacing between them. The bars of uniform width can be drawn horizontally or vertically depending upon convenience. Hence, the given statement is false.

If you count the number of hours, it is as:
English5 X 2 = 10 hoursMathematics7 X 2 = 14 hoursPhysics4 X 2 = 8 hoursChemistry3 X 2 = 6 hoursBiology4 X 2 = 8 hours
So, Mathematics takes most and Chemistry takes least.

Organisation of data means arranging it in such a way that it is easy to analyse. If the data is in numeral form, it is advised to arrange it in either ascending or descending arrangement.

A
If you record the data in ascending or descending order, it will be organised and hence, it's analysis will be much easier.
