Question

The following pie chart gives the marks obtained by a student in different subjects – English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science and Social Science in an examination.

Assuming that the total marks obtained for the examination are 540. The marks scored in Social Science is more than ____.

• A. Mathematics
• B. Science
• C. Hindi
• D. English

Answer 1

The correct option is D English

The marks obtained in Social Science is $\frac{65}{360}\times 540=97.5$
The marks obtained in English is $\frac{55}{360}\times 540=82.5$
Hence, the marks scored in social science is more than English.

However, it is not necessary to calculate the marks obtained. Just by looking at the pie chart, we can tell that the only subject whose central angle is less than that of Social Science is English. Hence, English is the answer.
