    ∵ 144° ≡ 180 students

    ∴ 360° ≡
    180
    × 360
    144

    = 450 students

    Correct Option: B

    ∵ 144° ≡ 180 students

    ∴ 360° ≡
    180
    × 360
    144

    = 450 students

    ∵ 24° ≡ 10 students

    ∴ 120° ≡
    10
    × 120°
    24

    = 50 students

    Correct Option: B

    ∵ 24° ≡ 10 students

    ∴ 120° ≡
    10

    Corresponding angle for children using scooter = 72°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 100%

    ∴ 72% ≡
    100
    × 72 = 20%
    360

    Correct Option: A

    Corresponding angle for children using scooter = 72°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 100%

    ∴ 72% ≡
    100
    × 72 = 20%
    360


  1. What is the measure of the angle at the centre representing people walking?

    Corresponding angle for children who go on walking
    = 360 – 120 – 72 – 24 = 144°

    House rent + clothing + fuel ⇒ 20 + 12 + 15 = 47%
    Food ⇒ 30%
    Difference = 47 – 30 = 17%

    Correct Option: B

    House rent + clothing + fuel ⇒ 20 + 12 + 15 = 47%
    Food ⇒ 30%
    Difference = 47 – 30 = 17%
