Question : The pie chart given below shows the expenditure incurred by a person on 7 articles. The total expenditure of all these 7 articles is 720. Expenditure incurred on a particular article is shown in terms of degree concerning the total expenditure incurred in all these 7 articles.
What is the ratio of expenditure incurred on article A2 to expenditure incurred on article A7?
Option 1: 2 : 3
Option 2: 3 : 4
Option 3: 4 : 3
Option 4: 5 : 3
Correct Answer: 3 : 4
Solution :
Central angle of A2,
=
Central angle of A7, =
Since expenditure is directly proportional to the central angle
⇒ Required ratio =
⇒ Ratio =
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 4.
