Question

A picture representation of data is called _______
(A) Pictograph
(B) Different graph
(C) Attractive graph
(D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint:
Since you need to find the most suitable word to fill in the given blank, you should start with analysing all the given options according to the given statement. Check each of the options one by one. Then find the correct option by choosing the most appropriate definition.

Complete step by step solution:
Here in this problem, we are given an incomplete statement saying ‘a picture representation of data is called _____’. And we need to fill this blank space with the most suitable option given below, i.e. pictograph, different graph, attractive graph or none of these. We need to find the correct answer among these four options.
This can be answered by analysing each of the options according to the given statement. We can separately look into these options and find out which one of these fits perfectly into the statement given in the question.
For option (A), pictograph is the representation of data using images. Pictographs represent the frequency of data while using symbols or images that are relevant to the data. This is one of the simplest ways to represent statistical data. And reading a pictograph is made extremely easy as well.
For option (B), the word ‘different’ graph does not mean anything meaningful for this statement. It is not any type of graph.
For option (C), the word ‘attractive’ graph just means a graph which is attractive. This also does not carry any meaning which is related to the statement given in the question.
The basic types of graphs are line graph, bar graph, pictograph, histogram, area graph, scatter plot etc.
For option (D), which is the option to be selected when we are sure that none of the options from (A), (B) and (C) is an answer. But we already got the most suitable answer according to this statement.
Since the definition of pictograph fits in the blank.

Hence, the option (A) is the correct answer.

Note:
Notice that we used the method of finding answers from the option by analysing each of them separately. For an alternative approach, we can also use the definition of the pictograph to know the answer. But it is always wise to check all the options to find the most suitable options among them.
