Practice Set 18 | Q 1 | Page 37 
This bar graph shows the maximum temperatures in degrees Celsius in different cities 
on a certain day in February. Observe the graph and answer the questions. 
 
 
1. What data is shown on the vertical and the horizontal lines? 
2. Which city had the highest temperature? 
3. Which cities had equal maximum temperatures? 
4. Which cities had a maximum temperature of 30°C? 
5. What is the difference between the maximum temperatures of Panchgani and 
Chandrapur? 
 
SOLUTION 
 
1. Temperature is shown on the vertical line (Y-axis) and different cities are shown 
on the horizontal line (X-axis). 
 
2. Chandrapur had the highest temperature (35°C) as the height of the bar 
corresponding to the city Chandrapur is maximum. 
 
3. 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 Nasik had equal maximum temperatures. 
 
4. Pune and Nasik had a maximum temperature of 30°C.

FAQs on Textbook Solutions: Bar Graphs - Mathematics Class 6 (Maharashtra Board)

1. What is a bar graph, and how is it used to represent data?
Ans. A bar graph is a visual representation of data using rectangular bars. The length of each bar corresponds to the value it represents, making it easy to compare different categories. Bar graphs can be used to display various types of data, such as survey results, population statistics, or sales figures, by showing how different groups compare against one another.
2. How do you create a bar graph from collected data?
Ans. To create a bar graph, first, collect your data and organize it into categories. Next, choose a scale that fits your data range. Then, draw the axes, labeling the horizontal axis with the categories and the vertical axis with the values. Finally, draw a bar for each category that reaches up to the corresponding value on the vertical axis, ensuring the bars are of equal width and spaced correctly.
3. What are the advantages of using bar graphs over other types of graphs?
Ans. Bar graphs have several advantages, including clarity and ease of interpretation. They allow for quick comparisons between different categories and can effectively display large amounts of data without overcrowding. Additionally, bar graphs can represent both discrete and continuous data, making them versatile for various applications.
4. What are some common mistakes to avoid when interpreting bar graphs?
Ans. Common mistakes when interpreting bar graphs include misreading the scale, ignoring the labels, and not considering the context of the data. It's essential to pay attention to the intervals on the axes and ensure that comparisons are made between bars of the same category. Additionally, one should be cautious of any misleading representations, such as unequal bar widths or manipulated scales.
5. Can bar graphs be used to represent negative values, and if so, how?
Ans. Yes, bar graphs can represent negative values. In such cases, the bars representing negative values are drawn below the baseline (usually the x-axis), while positive values are above. It's important to clearly label these values and ensure that the axes are marked appropriately to avoid confusion. This allows for a visual comparison of both positive and negative data effectively.
