Question

Read the bar graph given in Fig. 23.19 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 1982 - 83 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 crop were the maximum and the minimum in 1982- 1983 and 1950- 51 respectively

(iii) The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1982 -1983 = 34 lakh hectors.

The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1950 -51 = 17 lakh hectors

Clearly, the area under the sugarcane crop in the year 1982 - 83 is not three tomes that of the year 1950- 51

So, the given statement is false
