Graph (simple bar graph): Title: Trend of Urbanisation in India (1961 to 2011). X-axis: years; Y-axis: percentage of urban population. Scale: Y-axis 1 cm = 5%. Draw six bars of equal width with equal gaps:

YearUrban population (%)Height of bar
196118.03.6 cm
197118.23.64 cm
198123.34.66 cm
199125.75.14 cm
200127.85.56 cm
201131.26.24 cm

Write the title, scale and labels of both axes on the graph.

(Note: a picture of the graph cannot be shown here; in the examination the graph itself must be drawn on graph paper as described above.)

Answers:

(1) The percentage of urbanisation in 1961 was 18.0%.

(2) The growth of urbanisation was the lowest in the decade 1961–1971 (only 18.2 − 18.0 = 0.2%).

(3) The percentage of urbanisation in 1991 was 25.7%.
