  1. The marks scored in English , Science and Social science exceed the marks scored in Hindi and Mathematics by
    1. 10%
    2. 10
      1
      %
      9
    3. 25%
    4. 11
      1
      %
      9

Correct Option: C

From the given pie chart in question ,
Corresponding angle for English, Science and Social Science = 55° + 80° + 65° = 200°
Corresponding angle for Hindi and Maths = 90 + 70 = 160°
Change in corresponding angle = 200 - 160 = 40

∴ Required percent =
Change in corresponding angle
× 100
Corresponding angle for Hindi and Maths

Required percent =
40
× 100 = 25%
160
