Detailed Solution

Let us assume that the years on X-axis and the population on Y-axis.
Now, let us create a table extending the given data to one column of having the coordinates of points to be represented on the graph as follows

Year

Population (in millions)

Co-ordinates

1941

320

(1941, 320)

1951

360

(1951, 360)

1961

440

(1961, 440)

1971

550

(1971, 550)

1981

680

(1981, 680)

1991

850

(1991, 850)

2001

1000

(2001, 1000)

Now, let us take the scale
On X-axis 1 unit is equal to 10 years
On Y-axis 1 unit is equal to 100 million
By using this scale let us plot the bar graph of the given data.
