Direction: Given here is a pie chart showing the cost of gold in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Study the chart and answer the following questions.

  1. The ratio of percentage increases in price of gold from 2011 to 2012 and 2012 to 2013 is
    1. 6 : 5
    2. 7 : 5
    3. 8 : 5
    4. 9 : 5
Correct Option: B

As per the given pie chart in question ,
The corresponding angle of year 2012 = 105°
The corresponding angle of year 2011 = 75°
Total Increase = 105° - 75° = 30°

Percentage increase =
Total Increase
× 100
The corresponding angle of year 2011

Percentage increase in 2012 in comparison to 2011 =
3000
= 40
75

The corresponding angle of year 2013 = 135°
The corresponding angle of year 2012 = 105°
Total Increase = 135° - 105° = 30°
Percentage increase =
Total Increase
× 100
The corresponding angle of year 2012

Percentage increase in 2013 in comparison to 2012 =
3000
=
200
1057

Required ratio = Percentage increase in 2012 in comparison to 2011 : Percentage increase in 2013 in comparison to 2012
∴ Required ratio = 40 :
200
= 7 : 5
