The information regarding the number of boys and girls studying in a college in different faculties is given below. Represent it by a suitable diagram.

Steps to Solve

1. Collect the Data You have two sets of data: the number of boys and girls in different faculties. The data is as follows:

• Boys: Science (500), Commerce (700), Arts (200), Engineering (300), Medical (100), Law (100)
• Girls: Science (400), Commerce (600), Arts (300), Engineering (100), Medical (100), Law (200)

2. Prepare the Diagram To represent this data visually, we will use a bar chart. Each faculty will have two bars: one for boys and one for girls.

3. Label the Axes On the bar chart:

• The x-axis will represent the different faculties: Science, Commerce, Arts, Engineering, Medical, and Law.
• The y-axis will represent the number of students.

4. Draw the Bars For each faculty, draw two adjacent bars:

• The first bar represents boys and should be colored (e.g., blue).
• The second bar represents girls and should be a different color (e.g., pink).

For example, for Science, the height of the boys' bar should go up to 500, and the girls' bar should go up to 400.

5. Title the Chart Add a title to the chart, such as “Number of Boys and Girls in Different Faculties”.
