Question 1:

The monthly income of family is ₹ 28800. The monthly expenditure of the family on various items is given below.

Item	Rent	Food	Clothing	Education	Saving
Expenditure (in ₹)	8000	10800	5600	3600	800

Represent the above data by a pie chart.

Answer:

Monthly income of the family = ₹28,800

$Central angle for each item = (\frac{Expenditure per month on various items}{Monthly income} \times 360) °$

Calculation of central angles

Items	Expenditure(in ₹)	Central angle
Rent	8000	100º
Food	10800	135º
Clothing	5600	70º
Education	3600	45º
Savings	800	10º

Construction of pie chart
Steps of construction
1. Draw a circle of any convenient radius.
2. Draw a horizontal radius of this circle.
3. Draw sectors whose central angles are 100º, 135º, 70º, 45º and 10º.
4. Shade the sectors so obtained differently and label each one of them.

Question 1:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
A man's monthly salary is Rs 2400 and his monthly expenses on travel are Rs 250. The central angle of the sector representing travel expenses in the pie chart would be
(a) 30°
(b) $37 \frac{1}{2} °$
(c) 45°
(d) 60°

Answer:

(b) $37 \frac{1}{2} °$
$Central angle of the sector representing travel expenses = (\frac{value of expenses on travel}{monthly income} \times 360) °$
$= (\frac{250}{2400} \times 360) ° = 37 \frac{1}{2} °$

Question 2:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
If 35% of the people residing in a locality are Sikhs then the central angle of the sector representing the Sikh community in the pie chart would be
(a) 108°
(b) 115°
(c) 126°
(d) 135°

Answer:

(c) 126°
$Central angle of the sector representing the sikh community = (\frac{value (in %) of the sikh community}{100} \times 360) °$
$= (\frac{35}{100} \times 360) ° = 126 °$

Question 3:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
If in the pie chart representing the number of students opting for different streams of study out of a total strength of 1650 students, the central angle of the sector representing arts students is 48° then what is the number of students who opted for arts stream?
(a) 220
(b) 240
(c) 275
(d) 320

Answer:

(a) 220

$Let the required number of students be x . Then we have : (\frac{x}{1650} \times 360) = 48 \Rightarrow \frac{360 x}{1650} = 48 \Rightarrow x = (48 \times \frac{1650}{360}) \Rightarrow x = 220 Hence, the number of students who opted for arts stream is 220 .$

Question 4:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
In the pie chart representing the percentages of students having interest in reading various kinds of books, the central angle of the sector representing students reading novels is 81°. What is the percentage of students interested in reading novels?
(a) 15%
(b) 18%
(c) $22 \frac{1}{2} %$
(d) $27 \frac{1}{2} %$

Answer:

(c) $22 \frac{1}{2} %$

$Let the required percentage be x . Then we have : (\frac{x}{100} \times 360) = 81 \Rightarrow \frac{360 x}{100} = 81 \Rightarrow x = (81 \times \frac{100}{360}) \Rightarrow x = \frac{45}{2} \Rightarrow x = 22 \frac{1}{2} Hence, the percentage of students who are interested in reading novels is 22 \frac{1}{2} % .$
