Question 1. Explain the reading and interpretation of bar graphs.

Solution: 

A bar graph comprises a sequence of vertical or horizontal bar lines, also known as rectangles which may be either horizontal or vertical in nature. It is used to simulate the collection of the information over a period of time. Also, it concludes various observations over a time frame from a given bar graph to specify interpretation of the bar graph.

Question 2. Read the following bar graph and answer the following questions:

(i) What information is given by the bar graph?

(ii) In which year the export is minimum?

(iii) In which year the import is maximum?

(iv) In which year the difference of the values of export and import is maximum?

Solution:

(i) The specified bar graph depicts the import and export (specified in 100 Crores of rupees) from 1982-83 to 1986-87.

(ii) 1982-83

(iii) 1986-87

(iv) 1986-87

Question 3. The following bar graph shows the results of an annual examination in a secondary school. Read the bar graph given below, and choose the correct alternative in each of the following:

(i) The pair of classes in which the results of boys and girls are inversely proportional are:

(a) VI, VIII (b) VI, IX (c) VII, IX (d) VIII, X

(ii) The class having the lowest failure rate of girls is:

(a) VI (b) X (c) IX (d) VIII

(iii) The class having the lowest pass rate of students is:

(a) VI (b) VII (c) VIII (d) IX

Solution:

(i) Here, the option (b) is correct.

(ii) Here, the option (a) is correct.

(iii) Here, the option (b) is correct.

The sum of the corresponding heights of the bars for boys and girls in class VII = 95 + 40 = 135 [minimum]

Question 4. The following data gives the number (in thousands) of applicants registered with an Employment Exchange during 1995-2000:
