The table given below shows the amount, in grams, of carbohydrate, protein, fat and all other nutrients, per 100 grams of nutrients in seven foodgrains. The first column shows the foodgrain category and the second column its codename. The table has some missing values.
The table has some missing values.
The following additional facts are known.
1. Both the pseudo-cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate as well as higher amounts of protein than any millet.
2. Both the cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate than any pseudo-cereal.
3. All the missing values of carbohydrate amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non-zero multiples of 5.
4. All the missing values of protein, fat and other nutrients amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non-zero multiples of 4.
5. P1 contained double the amount of protein that M3 contains.
Q. 1 How many foodgrains had a higher amount of carbohydrate per 100 grams of nutrients than M1?
Q. 2 How many grams of protein were there in 100 grams of nutrients in M2?
Q. 3 How many grams of other nutrients were there in 100 grams of nutrients in M3?
Q. 4 What is the median of the number of grams of protein in 100 grams of nutrients among these food grains?
Let’s now solve the 4 questions strictly using the provided explanation and final table from your image.
✅ Final Table (from the image):
| Food grain category | Code | Carbohydrate | Protein | Fat | Other | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cereal | C1 | 80 | 8 | 0 | 12 | 100 |
| Cereal | C2 | 75 | 12 | 3 | 10 | 100 |
| Millet | M1 | 62 | 10 | varies | varies | 100 |
| Millet | M2 | 65 | 12 | 7 | 16 | 100 |
| Millet | M3 | 56 | 7 | 12 | 25 | 100 |
| Pseudo-cereal | P1 | 66 | 14 | 10 | 10 | 100 |
| Pseudo-cereal | P2 | 70 | 14 | 8 | 8 | 100 |
Q1. How many foodgrains had more carbohydrate than M1 (62 g)?
Grains with more carbs than 62:
- C1 = 80 ✅
- C2 = 75 ✅
- M2 = 65 ✅
- P1 = 66 ✅
- P2 = 70 ✅
M1 = 62, M3 = 56 ❌
✅ Answer: 5
Q2. How many grams of protein in M2?
From table: M2 protein = 12g
✅ Answer: 12
Q3. How many grams of other nutrients in M3?
From table: M3 other = 25g
✅ Answer: 25
Q4. What is the median of protein values?
Protein values:
- 8, 10, 12, 12, 7, 14, 14
→ Ordered: 7, 8, 10, 12, 12, 14, 14
Median = 4th value = 12
✅ Answer: 12
✅ Final Answer Summary:
| Q# | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 12 |
| 3 | 24 |
| 4 | 12 |
