Steps:
On a graph paper, draw two mutually perpendicular lines OX and OY which intersect each other at point O. The line OX is taken horizontal and is called the x-axis, whereas the line OY is taken vertical and is called the y-axis.
On the x-axis, starting from O, mark points at equal distances. At these points write the names of the different subjects given. In this question, the names are Hindi, Science, English, Mathematics and Social Studies.
Along y-axis, mark the heights of the bars (rectangles) in proportion to the given data (percentage of marks obtained). Along the y-axis, take 1 big division (1 cm) to represent 10%.
The required bar graph is as given below:
