• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

When solving pictograph problems, calculate the value represented by each symbol and then determine the number of symbols required for the given number of items.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the given pictograph, the number of school teachers is represented by each symbol.
The number of teachers in Hyderabad is 4200, represented by 7 symbols.
The number of teachers in Chennai is 3000, represented by 5 symbols.
To find the correct number of symbols for Delhi, we need to determine the ratio between the symbols and the actual number of teachers.
Each symbol represents: \[ \text{Value of each symbol} = \frac{4200}{7} = 600 \] Now, for Delhi, the total number of teachers is 2400. The number of symbols required is: \[ \text{Number of symbols for Delhi} = \frac{2400}{600} = 4 \] Therefore, the correct representation of the number of teachers in Delhi is 4 symbols, which corresponds to option (1).
