(b) In which year was production the least?
(c) In which year was the production of rice maximum?
(d) Find the average production of rice during the 5 years.
(e) Find the difference of rice production between the years 2006 and 2008.

Answer 1

(a) The bar graph represents the information about the production of rice in a country during the years 2005 to 2009.

(b) In 2006, the production was least.

(c) In 2007, there was a maximum rise in the production.

(d) Average production
= $\frac{Sumofproductionineveryyear}{Numberofyears}$
= $\frac{50+40+70+50+60}{5}$ million tonnes
= $54$ million tonnes

(e) Rice production in 2006 = 40 million tonnes
Rice production in 2008 = 50 million tonnes
∴ Difference = (50 – 40) million tonnes
= 10 million tonnes
