age range (in years)


1-14 15-29 30-44 45-59


60-74


75 and higher

the number of people

2 lakhs

60 thousand one lakh

80 thousand 40 thousand 80 thousand 40 thousand 120,000

To illustrate the data above, create a bar graph, then respond to the questions below. (For example, 1 unit length equals 20,000)

Which two age groups share the same population, (a) please?


(a) Senior citizens refer to all people 60 years of age and older. How many elderly people live in the town?

Explanation:

We can create a bar graph of the aforementioned information by using the scale 1 unit length = 20 thousand as follows:
