(i) Name the highest peak and mention its height. (ii) What is the ratio between the heights of the lowest and the highest peaks?

Question

Given below is a bar graph showing the heights of five mountain peaks.

Read the bar graph carefully and answer the following questions. 

(i) Name the highest peak and mention its height. 

(ii) What is the ratio between the heights of the lowest and the highest peaks? 

(iii) Arrange the heights of the given peaks in an ascending order. 

(iv) Which peaks differ in height by 600 metres?

Answer 1

(i) Mount Everest, 8800 m 

Mount Everest is the highest peak and its height is 8800 meters. 

(ii) 15 : 22 

Annapurna is the lowest peak and its height is 6000 meters. 

Mount Everest is the highest peak and its height is 8800 meters. 

Ratio between them is 

= 6000: 8800 

= 15: 22 

(iii) 6000 m < 7500 m < 8000 m < 8200 m < 8800 m 

Heights of given peaks in ascending order will be as follows: 

6000 meters < 7500 meters < 8000 meters < 8200 meters < 8800 meters 

(iv) Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga 

Mount Everest is the highest peak and its height is 8800 meters. 

Kanchenjunga is second highest peak and its height is 8200 meters. 

These two peaks differ in height by 600 meters.
