Answer 1

(a) The bar graph represents the information about the production of rice by a country during the years 2005 to 2009

(b) In 2006, the production was least.

(c) In 2007, there was a maximum rise in the production

∴ After 2006, the production has maximum rise.

(e) Rice production in 2006 = 40 million tonnes
Rice production in 2008 = 50 million tonnes

∴ Difference = (50 – 40) million tonnes = 10 million tonnes
