NCERT Solutions for Class 4 Maths Chapter 14 Data Handling – Questions and Answers

All 25 questions of the chapter (textbook pages 203 – 208) are answered below, in the order of the book – in-text questions, activities and the end-of-chapter exercises. Each answer is written the way you would write it in the exam.

In-text Questions — Page 203Look at the questions asked by Rohan and Anjali

Q1Tick the question that is the most appropriate for finding the ‘most liked subject’? Why do you think so? Discuss with your friends and teacher.
Rohan askedWhich subjects do you like?Mathematics, Languages, ArtsArts, LanguagesLanguages, The World Around Us, P.E.Anjali askedWhich subject do you like the most?MathematicsLanguagesThe World Around Us
The two questions the children asked, with a few of the answers they got.
Answer

Tick Anjali’s question: “Which subject do you like the most?”

Why: In Anjali’s question each child names only one subject, so each child gives one vote and the votes can be counted fairly. Rohan’s question lets a child name many subjects.

Way 2 (the table) is easier to understand.

In the table each subject has its own row with one number beside it, so we can read and compare at once. In Way 1 the letters are mixed up and we must count all 45 again.

Colourful Golas — Pages 206 – 207Two ways of showing the same data

Q1Look at the information given above. Colour the line drawing of the golas appropriately.
Rohan
Anjali
How Rohan and Anjali each recorded the golas the children ate. Rohan drew one child for each gola; Anjali drew one gola for each gola.
Answer
Golas eaten: Red 8, Blue 5, Orange 7, Yellow 10
  • Beside Q1 (a) the most → colour yellow.
  • Beside Q1 (b) the least → colour blue.
  • Beside Q2 → colour yellow.
  • Beside Q3 (boys) → colour yellow.
  • Beside Q4 (girls) → red, orange or yellow (a tie).
Q2Which colour ice gola do the children eat: a) the most b) the least. How do you know?
Rohan
Anjali
How Rohan and Anjali each recorded the golas the children ate. Rohan drew one child for each gola; Anjali drew one gola for each gola.
Answer

a) Yellow is eaten the most (10 golas).
b) Blue is eaten the least (5 golas).

How do you know? I counted the pictures in each row. Yellow has the longest row and blue the shortest.

Yellow 10 > Red 8 > Orange 7 > Blue 5
Q3Which colour gola would Anjali and Rohan have bought?
Rohan
Anjali
How Rohan and Anjali each recorded the golas the children ate. Rohan drew one child for each gola; Anjali drew one gola for each gola.
Answer

They would have bought a yellow gola.

They wanted the gola that others ate the most, and yellow was eaten the most (10 golas).

Q4Which colour golas did boys eat the most?
Rohan
Anjali
How Rohan and Anjali each recorded the golas the children ate. Rohan drew one child for each gola; Anjali drew one gola for each gola.
Answer

Boys ate yellow golas the most (6 boys).

Boys in Rohan’s record: Red 4, Blue 4, Orange 3, Yellow 6
Q5Which colour golas did girls eat the most?
Rohan
Anjali
How Rohan and Anjali each recorded the golas the children ate. Rohan drew one child for each gola; Anjali drew one gola for each gola.
Answer

Girls ate red, orange and yellow golas the most, 4 of each. These three colours are tied.

Girls in Rohan’s record: Red 4, Blue 1, Orange 4, Yellow 4
Q6Which of the ways of representing data did you use to answer these questions and why?
Rohan
Anjali
How Rohan and Anjali each recorded the golas the children ate. Rohan drew one child for each gola; Anjali drew one gola for each gola.
Answer

I used Rohan’s way.

It shows a boy or a girl for each gola, so it tells us how many and also who ate them. Questions 3 and 4 (boys, girls) can be answered only from Rohan’s record. For questions 1 and 2 either record works.

Answer

Count the pictures for each day, then add the three days.

Fruit chaats: Day 1 = 7, Day 2 = 12, Day 3 = 9
7 + 12 = 19,   19 + 9 = 28
Sandwiches: Day 1 = 12, Day 2 = 16, Day 3 = 18
12 + 16 = 28,   28 + 18 = 46

Answer

The most sandwiches were sold on Day 3 — 18 sandwiches.

Sandwiches had the highest sale on Day 2.

Fruit chaats on Day 2 = 6 + 6 = 12
Sandwiches on Day 2 = 8 + 8 = 16
16 > 12
16 − 12 = 4 more sandwiches than fruit chaats
