On the basis of given pie chart in question ,
Percentage expense on royalty = 15%
Percent of total expenditure = 100%
Corresponding angle for total expenditure = 360°
∵ 100% ≡ 360°∴ Required angle = Corresponding angle for total expenditure × Percentage expense on royalty = 54° Percent of total expenditure
Correct Option: C

According to given pie chart in question ,
Corresponding angle for overhead expenses = 108°
Total expenditure = $ 60000
⇒ 360° ≡ $ 60000∴ Required amount = Total expenditure × Corresponding angle for overhead expenses Total angle for expenditure
Correct Option: C
According to given pie chart in question ,
Corresponding angle for overhead expenses = 108°
Total expenditure = $ 60000
⇒ 360° ≡ $ 60000∴ Required amount = Total expenditure × Corresponding angle for overhead expenses Total angle for expenditure ∴ Required amount = 108° ≡ 60000 × 108 = $ 18000 360
