    According to given pie chart in question ,
    Percentage of miscellaneous charges = 4%
    Percentage of advertisement charges = 18%
    ∵ 4% ≡ $ 6000

    ∴ 1% =
    6000
    4

    Correct Option: B

    According to given pie chart in question ,
    Percentage of miscellaneous charges = 4%
    Percentage of advertisement charges = 18%
    ∵ 4% ≡ $ 6000

    ∴ 1% =
    6000
    4

    Now , 18% ≡
    6000 × 18
    = $ 27000
    4


Direction: The pie- chart shows the percentage of literate and illiterate males and females in a state. Study the diagram and answer the following questions.

    On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
    Given that , central angle of two categories = 169.2°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 100%

    ∴ 169.2° ≡
    169 × 100
    = 47%
    360

    So , Percentage share of literate females and illiterate females = (35 + 12)% = 47%

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
    Given that , central angle of two categories = 169.2°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 100%

    ∴ 169.2° ≡
    169 × 100
    = 47%
    360

    So ,Percentage share of literate females and illiterate females = (35 + 12)% = 47%
    Therefore , these categories are literate females and illiterate females .


  1. If the difference between the two categories of people are represented by 36° in the diagram, then these categories are

    As per the given pie chart in question ,
    ∵ 360° ≡ 100%

    ∴ 36° ≡
    100 × 36
    = 10%
    360

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given pie chart in question ,
    ∵ 360° ≡ 100%

    ∴ 36° ≡
    100 × 36
    = 10%
    360

    ∴ Difference between percentage shares of literate males literate and females = 45 – 35 = 10%
    Hence , these categories are literate males and literate females .


  1. The difference of central angles corresponding to illiterate male and illiterate female is

    On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
    Percent of literate males = 8%
    Percent of literate females = 12%
    Required difference in percentage shares = 12 – 8 = 4%
    As we know that , 100% ≡ 360°

    Correct Option: D

    On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
    Percent of literate males = 8%
    Percent of literate females = 12%
    Required difference in percentage shares = 12 – 8 = 4%
    As we know that , 100% ≡ 360°

    ∴ 4% ≡
    360 × 4
    = 14.4 °
    100


  1. If the total number is 35000, then the difference between the number of literate males and that of literate females is

    On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
    Percent of literate males = 45%
    Percent of literate females = 35%
    Total number of males and females = 35000

    Literate males = 35000 ×
    45
    = 15750
    100

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
    Percent of literate males = 45%
    Percent of literate females = 35%
    Total number of males and females = 35000

    Literate males = 35000 ×
    45
    = 15750
    100

    Literate females = 35000 ×
    35
    = 12250
    100

    Required difference = 15750 – 12250 = 3500
