In which of the following cases is a bar chart better than a pie chart to represent categorical data?
 An e-commerce company wants to know which source generates better revenue
 An e-commerce company is interested in knowing average transaction by different payment modes
 A political party wants to assess how the share of votes received by various can- didates have changed over the years
 None of the above

Here  my answer is option A. As the option A says about the count (better Revenue).
So It is better to represent as a bar chart.
Then Why is option 2 right?
Please correct me If I am wrong with the explanation of option A.
Thanks

And Also there is a problem with question 1 as the right answer is Pie Chart..
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hello,

Yes, you are right. The question is not very clear. We will get back to you once it is resolved.

Thank you for your time.
