The adjoining pie chart gives the marks scored in an examination by a student in Hindi, English, Mathematics, Social Science and Science. If the total marks obtained by the students were 540, answer the following questions:

(i) In which subject did the student score 105 marks?

(Hint: for 540 marks, the central angle = 360. So, for 105 marks, what is the central angle?)

(ii) How many more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi?

(iii) Examine whether the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.

(Hint: Just study the central angles)

Sol.

Subject Central Angle Marks obtained
Mathematics 90° 90°/360° x 540 = 135
Social Science 65° 65°/360° x 540 = 97.5
Hindi 70° 70°/360° x 540 = 105
English 55° 55°/360° x 540 = 82.5
Science 80° 80°/360° x 540 = 120

(i) The student scored 105 marks in Hindi.

(ii) Marks obtained in Mathematics = 135 Marks obtained in Hindi = 105 Difference = 135 – 105 = 30 Thus, 30 more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi.

(iii) The sum of marks in Social Science and Mathematics = 97.5 + 135 = 232.5 The sum of marks in Science and Hindi = 120 + 105 = 225 Yes, the sum of the marks in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.
