    ABC produces three main products

    Which would be the most appropriate chart or diagram for showing total revenue and product analysis month by month?

    A) Z Graph
    B) Line Graph
    C) Pie Chart
    D) Component bar chart

    The correct answer is D

    My answer and doubt

    My doubt is why couldn’t B) be the answer
    Because line graphs usually is plotted against the x and y variable which is usually the case of
    Dependant and independent variable

    (Sales usually depend on month)

    Therefore I chose the answer as a scatter graph because all the conditions were satisfying

    Please help me figure out where i have went wrong sir

    A scatter graph is not a line graph.

    A line graph could be used to show the total revenue for each month, but the question wants an analysis of the revenue by product. A component bar chart will do this, as I explain in my free lectures.

    Please do watch the lectures – they are a complete free course for Paper MA.

    Sir I watched your video and I understand the concept but I still fail to understand the answer to this question because this answer is conflicting with a theory I know

    This is the theory that this answer to this question conflicts with in the below link

    the image shows 3 different animals (which in our scenario could be the products)

    So I’m still wondering why a line graph cannot be the answer

    There is no conflict.

    The question wants the total revenue and also an analysis of the total, for each month.

    (Please do not put links to other website on this website 🙂 )
