Wednesday 830 390 480 220 130
Thursday 790 480 490 250 125
Friday 840 470 500 210 130

 

If the data related to the vacant seats for AC 1st Class is represented by a pie-chart, then the central angle of the sector representing vacant seats for AC 1st Class for Friday is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 72°.

Total number of seats occupied in AC 1st class = 145 + 120 + 130 + 125 + 130 + 130 = 650

Total number of vacant seats in AC 1st class = (150 × 5) - 650 = 100

Total seats available on Friday for AC 1st class = 150

Total seats booked on Friday for AC 1st class = 130

Number of seats vacant = 150 - 130 = 20

Central angle corresponding to the vacant seat = ( vacant seat /total vacant seats  ) × 360°

= (20 / 100) × 360° = 72°
