Question 3.
The following pictograph shows the total savings of a group of friends in a year. Each .picture represents a saving of Rs.100. Answer the following questions.

(i) What is the Ratio of Ruby’s saving to that of Thasnim’s?

(iv) Find the total amount of savings of all the friends?
(v) Ruby and Kuzhali save the same amount. Say True or False.
Solution:
(i) Ratio of Ruby’s saving to that of Thasnim’s
$$=\frac{\text { Ruby’s saving }}{\text { Thasnim’s saving }}=\frac{5 \times 100}{4 \times 100}=\frac{5}{4}=5: 4$$
Ratio of Ruby’s saving to that of Thasnims = 5 : 4
(ii) Ratio of Kuzhali’s savings to that of others
$$=\frac{\text { kuzhali’s saving }}{\text { others saving }}=\frac{5 \times 100}{19 \times 100}=\frac{5}{19}=5: 19$$
Ratio of Kuzhali’s saving to that of others = 5 : 19
(iii) Iniya’s saving = 3 × 100 = ₹ 300
(iv) Saving of all the friends = (5 + 7 + 4 + 5 + 3) × 100 = 24 × 100 = ₹ 2400.
Total savings = ₹ 2400
(v) True.
