(a) 108°
(b) 115°
(c) 126°
(d) 135°

Answer 1

(c) 126°
$\mathrm{Central}\mathrm{angle}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{sector}\mathrm{representing}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{sikh}\mathrm{community}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{value}\left(\mathrm{in}\%\right)\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{sikh}\mathrm{community}}{100}\times 360\right)°$
$$\begin{gathered} =\left(\frac{35}{100}\times 360\right)° \\ =126° \end{gathered}$$
