The approximate average population of State B for all the given years is 58 lakhs.

1. Identify the population of State B (dark checkered bars) for each year:

   • 2016: 38 lakhs

   • 2017: 52 lakhs

   • 2018: 58 lakhs

   • 2019: 60 lakhs

   • 2020: 68 lakhs

   • 2021: 72 lakhs

2. Calculate the total population of State B across all 6 years:
   $\text{Total} = 38 + 52 + 58 + 60 + 68 + 72 = 348 \text{ lakhs}$
