(N/A) To construct a bar graph representing the given data,follow these steps:
Step $1$: Take a graph paper and draw two mutually perpendicular lines $OX$ and $OY$. Let $OX$ be the horizontal axis and $OY$ be the vertical axis.
Step $2$: Along $OX$,mark the types of education,and along $OY$,mark the expenditure (in crores of rupees).
Step $3$: Along $OX$,choose a uniform width for the bars and a uniform gap between them.
Step $4$: Choose a suitable scale for the vertical axis. Here,we choose $1$ big division to represent $20$ crores of rupees.
Step $5$: Calculate the height of each bar:
- Elementary education: $240 / 20 = 12$ big divisions
- Secondary education: $120 / 20 = 6$ big divisions
- University education: $190 / 20 = 9.5$ big divisions
- Teacher's training: $20 / 20 = 1$ big division
- Social education: $10 / 20 = 0.5$ big divisions
- Other educational programmes: $115 / 20 = 5.75$ big divisions
- Cultural programmes: $25 / 20 = 1.25$ big divisions
- Technical education: $125 / 20 = 6.25$ big divisions
Step $6$: Draw the bars according to these heights as shown in the figure.
