Answer 1

The following steps are followed while drawing the bar graph:

Step 1: On a graph paper, draw a horizontal line OX and a vertical line OY, representing the x-axis and y-axis, respectively.
Step 2: Along OX, write the names of the subjects at points taken at uniform gaps.
Step 3: Choose the scale: 1 small division = 1 mark
Step 4: Then the height of the various bars are:
Hindi = 72
English = 63
Mathematics = 80
Science = 56
Social science = 65
Step 5: On the x-axis, draw bars of equal width and of heights obtained in step 4 at the points marked in step 2.

The completed bar graph is as shown below:
