Question

In a zoological park, there are $500$ creatures as per the following table.


Which of the following pie chart shows the correct representation of the given data of creatures in the park?

• A.
• B.
• C. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

There are total $500$ creatures in the zoological park.

Out of these $500$ creatures,
$\bullet$ Number of birds= $50$, i.e., $\frac{50}{500}=\frac{1}{10}$ fraction of the total creatures in the park are birds.

$\bullet$ Number of reptiles= $150$, i.e., $\frac{150}{500}=\frac{3}{10}$ fraction of the total creatures in the park are reptiles.

$\bullet$ Number of water animals= $200$, i.e., $\frac{200}{500}=\frac{2}{5}$ fraction of the total creatures in the park are water animals.

$\bullet$ Number of other land animals= $100$, i.e., $\frac{100}{500}=\frac{1}{5}$ fraction of the total creatures in the park are land animals.

The fractions of different creatures are summarized in the table below:



For calculating the angular proportion of different creatures in the pie chart, we multiply the respective fractions by ${360}^o$.


For the above calculated angular proportions, the correct circle graph or pie chart of the data is

$\therefore$ Option (a.) is the correct one.
