Example 1: Approximately how many degrees should be there in the central angle of the sector for agriculture expenditure?

1. 220

2. 213

3. 210

4. 208

Sol: In a pie chart, 100% is spread over 360°. Therefore 1 % = 3.6°. Agriculture expenditure = 59 %. Therefore 3.6 59 = 212.4°. Answer is (2)

Example 2: Approximately what is the ratio of expenditure on agriculture to that on dairy?

1. 8:3

2. 9:2

3. 70:1

4. 10:1

Sol: Over here, one common mistake is that students calculate the actual values of agriculture and dairy. Since budget expenditure is proportional to % of area covered, ratio of agriculture to dairy expenditure would be ratio of corresponding % allocations. Therefore, Agriculture/Dairy = 59/6 = 10/1. Answer is (4).

Example 3: In Haryana, in 2000, a total expenditure of Rs. 120mn was incurred. Approximately how many million did the Haryana government spend on roads?
