Question

As per the given pie chart, identify the percentage (%) of the shaded portion.

• A. 22.22%
• B. 45.55%
• C. 33.33%
• D. 11.11%

Hint:

To find percentages in a pie chart, divide the angle of the required sector by $360^\circ$ and multiply by 100.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the pie chart.
The pie chart is divided into three equal sectors representing Wheat, Ragi, and Rice. Each sector has an angle of $120^\circ$, as clearly shown in the diagram.

Step 2: Identifying the shaded portion.
The shaded portion corresponds to the Rice sector, which measures $120^\circ$.

Step 3: Calculating the percentage.
The total angle of a pie chart is $360^\circ$.
\[ \text{Percentage of shaded portion} = \left( \frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ} \right) \times 100 \] \[ = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = 33.33% \]
Step 4: Conclusion.
The percentage of the shaded portion shown in the pie chart is 33.33%.
