Pie chart


Direction: The pie-chart provided below gives the distribution of land (in a village) under various food crops. Study the pie-chart carefully and answer the questions.

  1. If 10% of the land reserved for rice be distributed to wheat and barley in the ratio 2 : 1, then the angle corresponding to wheat in the new pie-chart will be:

    ∴ New corresponding angle for wheat = Old corresponding angle for wheat + Increase in the corresponding angle of wheat

    Correct Option: B

    From above given chart ,
    Corresponding angle for wheat is represented by 72°
    10% of 72° = 7.2°
    Ratio of wheat and barley = 2 : 1
    ∴ Increase in the corresponding angle of wheat

    =2x 7.2 = 4.8°
    3

    ∴ New corresponding angle for wheat = Old corresponding angle for wheat + Increase in the corresponding angle of wheat
    = 72° + 4.8° = 76.8°


Direction: The pie-chart drawn below shows the expenses of a family on various items and its savings during the year 2001. Study the graph and answer the questions given below :

    From above given graph ,
    ∵ Expenditure on housing = Savings = 15%.

    Correct Option: C

    From above given graph ,
    The total savings of the family for 2001 year will be equal to the expenditure on housing , which is 15%.
    i.e. Expenditure on housing = Savings = 15%.



  1. If the total income of the family was $ 100000, how much money was spent on the education of children?

    Given:- total income of the family = $ 100000
    From above given graph ,
    Expenditure on the education of the children = 12%

    Correct Option: B

    Given:- total income of the family = $ 100000
    From above given graph ,
    Expenditure on the education of the children = 12% of $ 100000

    Expenditure on the education of the children =12 x 100000 = $ 12000
    100

    As per given pie chart , we can see that
    Angle for rice = 72°
    Angle for barley = 36°
    The total angle for rice and barley = 72° + 36° = 108°
    Total area of bajra is represented by 18° = 300 acres

    Correct Option: A

    As per given pie chart , we can see that
    Angle for rice = 72°
    Angle for barley = 36°
    The total angle for rice and barley = 72° + 36° = 108°
    Total area of bajra is represented by 18° = 300 acres
    ∴ The total area in angle of rice and barely = 108°

    ∴ 1 ° = 300 acres
    18

    ∴ The total area in angle of rice and barely = 108°
    ∴ The total area in acres of rice and barely = 300x 108 = 1800 acres
    18
