Question 8

Students of a class voted for their favourite colour and a pie chart was prepared based on the data collected.

Which colour received $\frac{1}{5}$ of the votes?

(a) Red

(b) Blue

(c) Green

(d) Yellow

Answer 1

Blue (25%), i.e. $\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}$ of votes received by blue.
Red (35%), i.e. $\frac{35}{100}=\frac{7}{20}$ of votes received by red.
Green (20%).i.e. $\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}$ of votes received by green.
Yellow (14%). i.e. $\frac{14}{100}=\frac{7}{50}$ of votes received by yellow.
Other (6%).i.e., $\frac{6}{100}=\frac{3}{50}$ of votes received by others.
Hence, green is the required colour.
