Answer 1

(1) Temperature is shown on the vertical line (Y-axis) and different cities are shown on the horizontal line (X-axis).

(2) Chandrapur had the highest temperature (35°C) as the height of the bar corresponding to city Chandrapur is maximum.

(3) Panchgani and Matheran had equal maximum temperature of 25°C. Also, Pune and Nasik had equal maximum temperatuare of 30°C. Thus, the cities Panchgani and Matheran; Pune and Nasik had equal maximum temperatures.

(4) Pune and Nasik had a maximum temperature of 30°C.

(5) Maximum temperature of Panchgani = 25°C

Maximum temperature of Chandrapur = 35°C

∴ Difference between the maximum temperatures of Panchgani and Chandrapur = 35°C − 25°C = 10°C
