Solution

The correct option is B 144°
$T o t a l a r e a = 10 a c r e s$
$T o t a l a n g l e o n t h e p i e c h a r t = 360 °$

$A n g l e t h a t r e p r e s e n t s 1 a c r e o n t h e p i e c h a r t = \frac{360 °}{10} = 36 °$

$A r e a u s e d t o c u l t i v a t e w h e a t = 4 a c r e s$

$⟹ A n g l e t h a t r e p r e s e n t s w h e a t$
$o n t h e p i e c h a r t = 4 \times 36 ° = 144 °$
