(2) Which village has the most women beneficiaries?
(3) How many male and female beneficiaries are there in village S?
(4) Does village P have more men or women beneficiaries?

Answer 1

(1) The bar graph shows that 170 men and 50 women in village R are benefiting from the EGS.
Therefore, (170 + 50 = 220), 220 people in village R are benefiting from the EGS.
(2) The bar graph shows that the height of the bar for village Q is greatest for women.
Therefore, village Q has the most women beneficiaries.
(3) The bar graph shows that there are 80 male and 120 women beneficiaries in village S.
(4) The bar graph shows that in village P, the bar height of men is greater than the bar height of women.
Therefore, village P has more men beneficiaries.
