3% of a family's income is spent on electricity, 58% on food, 20% on transport, 11% on education and 7% on extended family. The angles subtended at the centre of the pie chart under education and food are respectively
Answer Details
To find the angles subtended at the center of the pie chart under education and food, we need to first calculate the percentage of the chart that each category occupies.
The family's income is divided into five categories: electricity, food, transport, education, and extended family. The percentages of income spent on each category are given as follows:
- Electricity: 3%
- Food: 58%
- Transport: 20%
- Education: 11%
- Extended family: 7%
To calculate the percentage of the chart that each category occupies, we can multiply each percentage by 360 (the total number of degrees in a circle) and divide by 100. This gives us:
- Electricity: (3/100) x 360 = 10.8 degrees
- Food: (58/100) x 360 = 208.8 degrees
- Transport: (20/100) x 360 = 72 degrees
- Education: (11/100) x 360 = 39.6 degrees
- Extended family: (7/100) x 360 = 25.2 degrees
So, the angles subtended at the center of the pie chart under education and food are 39.6 degrees and 208.8 degrees, respectively.
However, the options given in the question are in terms of rounded values, so we need to find the closest options to our calculated values. The closest option to 39.6 degrees is 39.6 degrees itself. The closest option to 208.8 degrees is 212.4 degrees.
Therefore, the answer is (D) 39.6 degrees and 212.4 degrees.
