Question

Which of the following is/are the steps to be followed while drawing a bar graph?

• A. Write the title of the bar graph
• B. Write the scale of the graph in the right top hand corner
• C. Draw the X and Y axes and mark O, their point of intersection
• D. Draw the bars of appropriate height at equal distances from each other.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Write the title of the bar graph
B Write the scale of the graph in the right top hand corner
C Draw the X and Y axes and mark O, their point of intersection
D Draw the bars of appropriate height at equal distances from each other.

Steps in construction of bar graphs/column graph:\

• On a graph, draw two lines perpendicular to each other, intersecting at O.
• The horizontal line is x-axis and vertical line is y-axis.
• ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Mention the title of the graph. Name the x and y axes respectively.
• Mention the scale of the graph in the right top hand corner.
• Along the horizontal axis, choose the uniform width of bars and uniform gap between the bars and write the names of the data items whose values are to be marked.
• Calculate the heights of the bars according to the scale chosen and draw the bars.
