6. Sunil has 2 seeds less than 40 and------ has 2 seeds more than 40.

Answer : From the given picture, note down the number of Imli seeds collected by Radhika, Gauri, Vicky, Indra, and Sunil. As shown in the table,

• From the table, 54 is the highest number of seeds collected by anyone. It is Indra who collected 54 seeds. So, Indra collected the most seeds.
• From the table, Sunil collected 38 seeds, and Vicky collected 42 seeds. So, Sunil will need 42 − 38 = 4 more seeds to be equal to Vicky. Therefore, Sunil will collect 4 more seeds to be equal to Vicky.
• From the table, Radhika has collected 24 seeds. If she gets 6 more seeds, then she will have 24 + 6 = 30 seeds. Therefore, if Radhika gets 6 more seeds, she will have 30 seeds.
• From the table, Gauri, Vicky and Indra each have collected more than 40 seeds. Therefore, three children have more than 40 seeds.
• From the table, Gauri has collected 47 seeds. To have 50 seeds, she will need 50 – 47 = 3 more seeds. Therefore, Gauri needs 3 more seeds to have 50.
• Two seeds more than 40 means, 40 + 2 = 42. From the table, Vicky has collected 42 seeds. Therefore, Sunil has 2 seeds less than 40 and Vicky has 2 seeds more than 40
