Solution
- Temperature is shown on the vertical line (Y-axis) and different cities are shown on the horizontal line (X-axis).
- Chandrapur had the highest temperature (35° C) as the height of the bar corresponding to the city Chandrapur is maximum.
- Panchgani and Matheran had an equal maximum temperature of 25 °C. Also, Pune and Nasik had an equal maximum temperature of 30° C. Thus, the cities Panchgani and Matheran; Pune and Nashik had equal maximum temperatures.
- Pune and Nasik had a maximum temperature of 30° C.
- Maximum temperature of Panchgani = 25° C
Maximum temperature of Chandrapur = 35° C
∴ Difference between the maximum temperatures of Panchgani and Chandrapur = 35° C − 25° C = 10° C
