Analytical Paragraph Test 04

Solution

1. The double bar graph provides information about how much money was spent on laptops and smartphones in India over
a period of five years i.e., between the years 2015 and 2019.
As shown in the graph, it illustrates that there was a significant upward trend in spending on both items. It shows that
sales of smartphones has increased steadily by five lakhs each year whereas sales of laptops remained level at fifteen
lakh until 2017 and then it made a hike and increased dramatically reaching fifty lakhs in the year 2019. Although the
sale of laptops is still less than the smartphones sales, but they are only 5 lakh behind which shows a good progress in
the sales of laptops in 2019.
It signifies that people’s total expenditure on these two electronic gadgets rose dramatically in this period. The total
expense of both the devices was 45 lakhs in 2015 which rose to ninety-five lakhs in 2019.
Overall, the sales of both these devices grew, but laptops sales grew more quickly. If these trends continue and
fascination of electronic gadgets kept on increasing among people, we can expect laptops sales to overtake smartphones
sales in 2020 or soon after that.
2. The pie chart provides information about the amount of money a family has spent on different items in a month. On an
average, the family has spent majorly on grocery which is twenty-three percent of the total expenses. Whereas it has
spent 20 percent on education which shows that it’s the second priority for the family.
The other item on which it has spend the most is clothes and transportation which levels off 19 and 18 percent
respectively. Fifteen per-cent of their expenses were on other items that might include stationery, cosmetics, accessories,
etc. and the least they had spent was on their rent. The maximum amount was spent on grocery, education, transportation
and clothes.
Overall the data shows that they have not spent much on the unnecessary items or miscellaneous. After spending on
grocery which is of utmost importance they have spent a significant amount on education. The least money is spent on
miscellaneous items after spending on their rent which is their liability. Thus, it is evident that 85% of their total amount
of money was spent on their liabilities whereas only 15 percent was spent on other items that might not be necessary to
spend on.
3. The given double bar graph compares the sales of healthcare supplements consumed by men and women aged between
25-35 in a span of five years. Information given about the sale is in lakhs. One quick glance at the graph can make it
evident that men consumed more healthcare supplements than women. Beginning with the year 2016, the sale made by
men reached little less than 2 lakhs annually, whereas women consumers touched nearly 1 lakh.
The year 2017 saw a hike in male consumption as they reached 3 lakhs. Women consumers, however, doubled the
consumption and reached sale of 2 lakhs. The data of 2018 and 2020 show same consumption figures for men as they
went a little higher and reached 4 lakhs and remained there for these two years. Women consumers reached slightly more
than 3 lakhs in year 2018 and approximate 3 lakh 80 thousand in the year 2020.
According to the given data the year 2019 was the most lucarative in terms of sales of healthcare supplements by both
the genders. The men touched their highest of sales of ₹ 5 lakhs and females reached their highest of sales of 4 lakh 80
thousand in the year 2019.
To conclude the given information we can say that the consumption of healthcare supplements saw an upward strend by
both the genders. The year 2019 saw the best of sales and 2016 was not that good.
