Marks: +1, -0
If a pie-chart is drawn for the following data, then the angle of sector representing mathematics is ______
SubjectTeluguEnglishMathematicsScienceSocial
Marks1720181619
Solution:  
Concept:
To find the angle of a sector in a pie chart, we calculate the proportion of that category to the total and multiply it by 360 degrees.
Explanation:
First, let's find the total marks scored in all subjects. The marks are: Telugu (17), English (20), Mathematics (18), Science (16), and Social (19).
Total Marks = 17+20+18+16+19=9017 + 20 + 18 + 16 + 19 = 90
Next, we need to find the angle of the sector representing Mathematics. The marks scored in Mathematics are 18.
The proportion of Mathematics marks to the total marks is 1890\frac{18}{90}.
To convert this proportion into an angle in a pie chart, we multiply it by the total angle of a circle, which is 360 degrees.
Angle for Mathematics = Marks in MathematicsTotal Marks×360∘\frac{\text{Marks in Mathematics}}{\text{Total Marks}} \times 360^{\circ}
Angle for Mathematics = 1890×360∘\frac{18}{90} \times 360^{\circ}
Now, let's simplify the calculation:
Angle for Mathematics = 15×360∘\frac{1}{5} \times 360^{\circ}
Angle for Mathematics = 72∘72^{\circ}
So, the angle of the sector representing Mathematics is 72∘72^{\circ}.
Answer:
72∘72^{\circ}
