The bar graph shows the monthly expenditure of a family on different heads, in thousand rupees.

What is the expenditure on food?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Rs 5000
The vertical axis is marked in thousand rupees, so the height of a bar must be multiplied by 1000.
The food bar reaches 5 on the axis
Expenditure on food \(=5\times1000=\) Rs 5000
