Question

Read the following bar graph and answer the following questions:



(i) What information is given by the bar graph
(ii) Which state is the largest producer of rice?
(iii) Which state is the largest producer of wheat?
(iv) Which state has total production of rice and wheat as its maximum?
(v) Which state has the total production of wheat and rice minimum?

Answer 1

Let's draw a chart using the data from the above bar graph:

States	Rice Production	Wheat Production	Total Production
U.P.	8	16	24
W.B.	10	2	12
M.P.	5	5	10
Maharashtra	4	2	6
Haryana	3	6	9

(i) The above bar graph provides information on the production of rice and wheat in various states of India.

(ii) W.B. is the largest producer of rice.
Explanation: The height of the rectangle representing rice production in W.B. is up to 10 units, i.e., the highest compared to those in the other states.

(iii) U.P. is the largest producer of wheat.
Explanation: The height of the rectangle representing wheat production in U.P. is up to 16 units, i.e., the highest compared to those in the other states.

(iv) U.P. has the total production of rice and wheat as its maximum.
Explanation: From the bar graph we can say that U.P. exceeds the other states in the total production of rice and wheat, i.e., 16 units wheat + 8 units of rice = 24 units.

(v) Maharashtra has the total production of rice and wheat as its minimum.
Explanation: From the bar graph we can say that the total production of rice and wheat in ​Maharashtra is the minimum, i.e., 4 units rice + 2 units of wheat = 6 units.
