Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Reading the data from the bar chart.
From the bar chart, the number of students who prefer different games is given as follows:
Cricket = 20 students
Hockey = 10 students
Table Tennis = 15 students
Khokho = 5 students
The total number of students is clearly mentioned as 50.

Step 2: Identifying the number of students preferring cricket.
According to the chart, 20 students prefer to play cricket.

Step 3: Calculating the percentage.
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students preferring cricket}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100 \] \[ = \left( \frac{20}{50} \right) \times 100 = 40% \]
Step 4: Conclusion.
The total percentage of students who prefer to play cricket is 40%.
