Question

Read the bar graph shown in Fig. 23.10 and answer the following questions 

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

(ii) What was the number of commercial banks in 1977? 

(iii) What is the ratio of the number of commercial banks in 1969 to that in 1980? 

(iv) State whether true or false: The number of commercial banks in 1983 is less than double the number of commercial banks in 1969.

Answer 1

(i) Given bar graph represents the number of commercial banks in India during some years. 

(ii) The number of commercial banks in 1977 was 130. 

(iii) The ratio of the number of commercial banks in 1969 to that in 1980 = 90/150

(iv) The number of commercial banks in 1983 = 230 

The number of commercial banks in 1980 = 150 

Clearly, the number of commercial banks in 1983 is not less than double the number of commercial banks in 1969. 

So, the given statement is false.
