Graphical representation is a better way to analyse any numerical data. A graph is a type of chart in which the statistical data are represented (In the form of lines or curves). Graphs help us to understand the relationship between variables and measure the position or values of one variable when the other variable is changed by a certain value. The RD Sharma Solutions Class 9 given here explains the solutions in a descriptive manner for the questions in Chapter 23. Click on the links below to access all the solutions.

Exercise 23.1 Page No: 23.7

Question 1: The following table shows the daily production of T.V. sets in an industry for 7 days of a week.

Represent the above information by a pictograph.

Solution:

The given information can be represented using a pictograph as below:

Question 2: The following table shows the number of Maruti cars sold by five dealers in a particular month:

Represent the above information by a pictograph.

Solution:

The given information can be represented using a pictograph as below:

Question 3: The population of Delhi State in different census years is as given below:

Represent the above information with the help of a bar graph.

Solutions:

Let us consider the horizontal and vertical axes represent the years and population in lakhs, respectively.

The heights of the rectangles are proportional to the population in lakhs.

Bar Graph:

Question 4: Read the bar graph shown below and answer the following questions:

(i) What is the information given by the bar graph?

(ii) How many tickets from Assam State Lottery were sold by the agent?

(iii) Of which state was the maximum number of tickets sold?

(iv) State whether true or false.

The maximum number of tickets sold is three times the minimum number of tickets sold.

(v) Of which state was the minimum number of tickets sold?

Solution:

(i) Bar graph represents the number of tickets of different state lotteries sold by an agent on a day.

(ii) Number of tickets of Assam State Lottery were sold by the agent = 40.

(iii) The maximum number of tickets were sold is 100 in the state of Haryana.

(iv) The maximum number of tickets were sold is 100 in the state of Haryana. The minimum number of tickets were sold is 20 in the state of Rajasthan.

It is clear that 100 is equal to 5 times of 20.

Hence, the statement is false.

(v) The minimum number of tickets were sold is 20 in the state of Rajasthan.

Question 5: Study the bar graph representing the number of persons in various age groups in a town shown in the figure. Observe the bar graph and answer the following questions:

(i) What is the percentage of the youngest age-group persons over those in the oldest age group?

(ii) What is the total population of the town?

(iii) What is the number of persons in the age-group 60-65?

(iv) How many persons are more in the age-group 10-15 than in the age group 30-35?

(v) What is the age-group of exactly 1200 persons living in the town?

(vi) What is the total number of persons living in the town in the age-group 50-55?

(vii) What is the total number of persons living in the town in the age-groups 10-15 and 60-65?

(vii) Whether the population in general increases, decreases or remains constant with the increase in the age-group.

Solution:

(i) Youngest age-group is 10-15 years

The number of persons belonging to this group = 1400

The oldest age-group is 70-75 years and

The number of persons belonging to this group = 300

Now,

The percentage of youngest age-group persons over those in the oldest group is as below:

1400/300 × 100 = 1400/3

(ii) Population of the town = 300 + 800 + 900 + 1000 + 1100 + 1200 + 1400 = 6700

(iii) Number of persons in the age group 60 – 65 = 800.

(iv) Number of persons in the age group 10 – 15 = 1400

The number of persons in the age group 30-35 = 1100.

Hence the number of more persons in the age group 10 – 15 than the group 30-35 is 1400 — 1100 = 300.

(v) Age group of 1200 persons living in the town is 20 – 25.

(vi) The total number of persons living in the town in the age-group 50 – 55 is 900.

(vii) The total number of persons living in the town in the age-groups 10 -15 and 60 – 65 is 1400 + 800 = 2200.

(viii) We have observed that the height of the bars decreases as the age-group increases. Hence, the population decreases with the increases in the age-group.

Exercise 23.2 Page No: 23.23

Question 1: Explain the reading and interpretation of bar graphs.

Solution: A bar graph consists of a sequence of vertical or horizontal bar lines or rectangles. Bar lines may be either horizontal or vertical. We can easily collect the information and conclude various observations from a given bar graph which is referred to as the interpretation of the bar graph.

Question 2: Read the following bar graph and answer the following questions:

(i) What information is given by the bar graph?

(ii) In which year is the export minimum?

(iii) In which year is the import maximum?

(iv) In which year the difference between the values of export and import is maximum?

Solution:

(i) The bar graph represents the import and export (in 100 Crores of rupees) from 1982-83 to 1986-87.

(ii) 1982-83

(iii) 1986-87

(iv) 1986-87

Question 3: The following bar graph shows the results of an annual examination in a secondary school. Read the bar graph given below, and choose the correct alternative in each of the following:

(i)The pair of classes in which the results of boys and girls are inversely proportional are:

(a) VI, VIII (b) VI, IX (c) VII, IX (d) VIII, X

(ii) The class having the lowest failure rate of girls is:

(a) VI (b) X (c) IX (d) VIII

(iii) The class having the lowest pass rate of students is:

(a) VI (b) VII (c) VIII (d) IX

Solution:

(i) Option (b) is correct.

(ii) Option (a) is correct.

(iii) Option (b) is correct.

The sum of the heights of the bars for boys and girls in class VII = 95 + 40 = 135 (which is minimum)
