Question

The pictorial representation of data is called _______
A. attractive graph
B. Pictograph
C. bar graph
D. pi diagram

Answer 1

Hint: We will use the definition of each given option, that is, attractive graph, pictograph and bar graph, to find the correct answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
There is no graph with the name attractive graph. Hence, option (a) is not the correct answer.
A pictograph is a method to show the data through pictures.
It is an interesting way to show data. But, sometimes we cannot draw the accurate data because we are not able to find a correct scale to represent the given data.

A bar graph is a method to show data in the forms of solid bars, which helps in comparing the different observations.

A pi diagram is used in analysis of orientation of folds and is not used to represent data.
Hence, the pictorial representation of data is called pictograph.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Note: One must know the definition of bar graphs and pictograph to do this question correctly. A pictograph makes it easy to read and compare data but it can be drawn accurately only when we can find a proper scale.
