Expenditure (Rs. in thousands)	80	130	145	160	190

Represent the above data by a gar graph.

Answer 1

At first we mark 5 points for each income and expenditure in the horizontal axis at equal distances and erect rectangles of the same width at these points. The heights of the rectangles are proportional to the corresponding income or expenditures.

The vertical bar graph of the given data is following:
