Question
A survey was conducted in Aadarsh Vidyalaya to know the inclication of students towards different subjects. The data obtained is presented by the adjacent pie diagram. If the total number of students was 500, answer the following questions.
(i) How many students show inclination towards mathematics ?
(ii) How many students are inclined towards social sciences ?
(iii) How many more students are inclined towards languages than
science ?
Solution
The total number of students, N = 500.
For mathematics, θ = 126
No. of students showing
inclination toward Maths = `θ/360xxN=126/360xx500=175`
Similarly,
No. of students showing
inclination towards Social science=`54/360xx500=75`
No. of students showing
inclination towards Science = `72/360xx500=100`
No. of students showing
inclination towards languages = `108/360xx500=150`
Now, `150-100=50`
∴ 50 more students show inclination towards languages than towards science
