Question

The number of illiterate women and literate women living in four villages are given below. Show this information in a joint bar graph.

Village →	Sonke	Ralegaon	Nandni	Nevri
Literate	500	550	600	450
Illiterate	150	150	200	100

In this question, can we take a scale of 1 cm = 10 women on the y-axis? Think about it and choose a suitable scale.

Answer 1

In this case, we take the scale as:
On y-axis, 1 cm = 100 women.
The number of women is represented on the y-axis and the villages are represented on the x-axis.
The double bar graph can be drawn as follows:
If we take 10 women as 1 unit, the size of the graph will increase. So, 100 women is a better scale.
