Q1. The pictograph shows books borrowed. Scale: 1 Book Symbol = 1 Book (implied from context or standard unit if not explicit, but solution implies simple counting).

  • Monday: 5 symbols
  • Tuesday: 4 symbols
  • Wednesday: 2 symbols
  • Thursday: 0 symbols (Empty)
  • Friday: 5 symbols
  • Saturday: 8 symbols

Answers:

  • a. Thursday (0 books, minimum).
  • b. Total books = 5+4+2+0+5+8=245 + 4 + 2 + 0 + 5 + 8 = 24.
  • c. Saturday (Maximum). Possible reason: It’s the weekend, so students borrow books to read over the holiday/Sunday.

  • Jetha Lal: 250
  • Poonam Ben: 700

Pictograph Task: Scale ⋄=100\diamond = 100 kites.
