Model Answer
The given bar graph illustrates the number of miles travelled annually for different purposes by both genders. It is clear that men travelled more for work, entertainment and meeting friends, whereas women travelled more for shopping, meeting friends and taking children to school.
About 35000 miles were travelled by men for work, which was much more compared to the 30000 miles covered by women. By contrast day trip was the least popular reason to travel among both genders. Women travelled 7000 miles, whereas men travelled 10000 miles for this purpose.
Shopping and meeting friends were more popular reasons among females to travel. They covered 30000 and 25000 miles for these two purposes, as opposed to men, who covered 28000 and 22000 miles for these two purposes respectively.
Overall, the least discrepancy among the miles covered by both genders is for taking children to school. 26000 miles were travelled by women for taking children to school, where as just 2000 less miles were covered by men for this reason.
