Solution

Step 1: Bar Graph
We use the given table to draw the double bar graph as per the question.
(i) This bar graph shows the number of people who are watching and participating in their favorite sports.
From the double bar graph, we get to know that most of the people like watching and participating in cricket while the least number of people like watching and participating in Athletics.
Step 2: Most popular sport
(ii) From the above double bar graph, we get to know that the people who like watching and participating in cricket is the tallest among all the bars. So, cricket is the most popular sport.
Step 2: More preferred
(iii) From the above double bar graph, we get to know that watching sports has more preference, rather than participating in sports.
