(i) Represent the above data with the help of a bar graph.
(ii) Indicate with the help of the bar graph the year in which the amount of manufactured by the company was maximum.
(iii) Choose the correct alternative:

(a) 1994 and 1995
(b) 1992 and 1993

Answer 1

The complete data is

Year                                    1992     1993    1994     1995     1996    1997

Manure                                 15          35       45         30        40       20

(in thousand tones)

(i) Represent the above data with the help of a bar graph.

x-axis represents the manure (in thousand tones)

y-axis represents the year.

(ii) Indicate with the help of the bar graph the year in which the amount of manufactured by the company was maximum.

The year 1994 with 45 thousand tones of manure is the year in which the amount of manufactured by the company was maximum.

(iii) Choose the correct alternative:

The consecutive years during which there was maximum decrease in manure production are:

From the bar graph it's clear that, the years 1996 and 1997 are the consecutive years during which there was maximum decrease in manure production.

Option (c) is correct.
