Rahul bought a fruit basket at the supermarket. It had the weight of each fruit represented as a percentage of the total weight, thus:
Mangoes - 30 per cent, Grapes - 25 per cent, Apples - 25 per cent and Pomegranates - 20 per cent. If you make a pie chart for the
data, then what angle will the sector that represents Mangoes make at the centre?

Answer:

A. 72°

B. 90°

C. 108°

D. 120°

Feedback on your answer:

Option C is correct. The total angle at the centre is 360°. The mangoes weigh 30 per cent of the total weight.
⇒ Sector angle of weight of mangoes = 3010030100×360° = 108°
Hence, the sector angle of the weight of mangoes will be 108°.

Solution:
The total angle at the centre is 360°. The mangoes weigh 30 per cent of the total weight.
⇒ Sector angle of weight of mangoes = 3010030100×360° = 108°

What is the width of the class of the class interval 100-125?

Answer:

A. 25

B. 100

C. 125

D. 225

Feedback on your answer:

Option A is correct. The difference between the upper class limit and the lower class limit is called the width of a class interval. Here,
the upper class limit is 125 and the lower class limit is 100. Therefore, the width of the class interval is 125 - 100 = 25.

Solution:
The difference between the upper class limit and the lower class limit is called the width of a class interval. Here, the upper class
limit is 125 and the lower class limit is 100. Therefore, the width of the class interval is 125 - 100 = 25.

50-80 15
Which of these pie charts represents this situation correctly?

Answer:

A. B.
C. D.
Feedback on your answer:

Option C is correct.
Here:
Central angle for age group (0-9) = 560560×360° = 30°
