Question

How many students took part in the shot put?

A.10 students
B.20 students
C.40 students
D.None of these

Answer 1

Hint: Here, we will analyze the given pie chart to find the students who took part in shot put and then we will add the total games played by the students. Then we will find the percentage by dividing the degrees by 360 and multiplying it with 100.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We are given that the total number of students participated in sport is 60.
Here, we will form a table with the game's name and number of students.

Name	Scored Runs
Running	\[108^\circ \]
Shot put	\[60^\circ \]
High jump	\[30^\circ \]
Lemon and spoon	\[90^\circ \]
Long jump	\[72^\circ \]

First, we will analyze the given pie chart to find the students played shot put, we have
\[ \Rightarrow {\text{Students participated in shot put}} = 60^\circ \]
We know that the sum of angles at a point is \[360^\circ \].
Then we will find percentage by dividing the number of students played shot put with 360 and multiply it with total number of students, we get
\[
   \Rightarrow \dfrac{{60^\circ }}{{360^\circ }} \times 60 \\
   \Rightarrow 10{\text{ students}} \\
 \]
Therefore, the students participating in the shot put game are 10 students.
Hence, option A is correct.

Note: In solving these types of questions, you should be familiar that a Pie Chart is a type of graph that displays data in a circular graph. The pieces of the graph are proportional to the fraction of the whole in each category. In other words, each slice of the pie is relative to the size of that category in the group as a whole. The entire “pie” represents 100 percent of a whole, while the pie “slices” represent portions of the whole.
