Solution



We can draw the bar graph by following the given steps:

Step 1.- On a graph paper, draw a horizontal line OX as x-axis and vertical line OY as y-axis.

Step 2.- Along OX, write the names of the sports at the points that are taken at a uniform gap.

Step 3.- Choose the scale:
1 big division = 10 students
1 small division = 1 student

Step 4.- Heights of the various bars:
Cricket = 75 small divisions = 7 big divisions and 5 small divisions
Football = 35 small divisions = 3 big divisions and 5 small divisions
Tennis = 50 small divisions = 5 big divisions
Badminton = 25 small divisions = 2 big divisions and 5 small divisions
Swimming = 65 small divisions = 6 big divisions and 5 small divisions

Step 5.- Draw bars of equal width on the x-axis. The difference between the two bars should also be the same.
