Double Bar Graphs

To compare data we use double bar graphs.

Komal conducted a survey in her class to find out which colours the boys and girls of
her class liked the most. She recorded the results in a tabular form as given here :

To draw a double bar graph, we follows these steps :

Step 1 : Take two axes.
Colour Boys Girls
Mark the vertical axis as
Blue 7 4
number of students .
Pink 2 8
Mark the horizontal axis as
Red 5 5
colours.
Yellow 3 6

Green 6 2

Step 2 : Choose an appropriate scale for the vertical axes. Here you may take 1 cm = 2

students.

Step 3 : For each colour, draw one bar for boys and one for girls. Make a key to show

the different colours used for boy’s and girl’s bars.

Step 4 : Give a title to the graph.
