Graph: Take years on the X-axis and literacy rate (%) on the Y-axis with a scale such as 1 cm = 10%. Draw five bars of equal width with equal gaps, of heights 40.8, 48.2, 61.0, 69.3 and 72.2. Give a title, scale and labels to both axes.

Answers:

(1) The graph shows the literacy rate (%) of India from 1981 to 2016; literacy has increased steadily.

(2) The literacy rate in 1991 was 48.2%.
