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
Solution
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 year1982-1983 =34 lakh hectors.
The area under sugarcane crop in the year 1950- 51 = 17lakh 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
