Question

Read the bar graph given in Fig. and answer the following questions:

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

(ii) In which years the areas under the sugarcane crop were the maximum and the minimum?

(iii) State whether true or false:

The area under the sugarcane crop in the year 192 - 3 is three times that of the year 1950 - 51.

Answer 1

(i) It gives the information about the areas under sugarcane crop during different years in India.

(ii) The areas under the sugarcane crops were the maximum and minimum in 1982 - 83 and 1950 - 51 respectively.

(iii) The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1982 - 83 = 34 lakh hectares.

Area under sugarcane crop in the year 1950 - 51 = 17 lakh hectares.

Clearly, the area under sugarcane crop in the year 1982 - 83 is not 3 times that of the year 1950 - 51.

So, the given statement is false.
