Correct Answer

✅ Option b — $75^{\circ}$

All Options:

  • A$103.2^{\circ}$
  • B$75^{\circ}$
  • C$105.6^{\circ}$
  • D$94.8^{\circ}$

Detailed Solution & Explanation

To represent data in a pie chart, each category's value is converted into a sector of the circle. The central angle θ\displaystyle θ\displaystyle \theta for any component is proportional to its contribution to the total sum of all components:\nθ=Component ValueTotal Value×360∘\displaystyle \theta = \frac{Component Value\displaystyle \text{Component Value}}{Total Value\displaystyle \text{Total Value}} ×\displaystyle \times 360^{\circ}\n\n1. **Calculate the Total Marks** across all five subjects (S1,S2,S3,S4,S5\displaystyle S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4, S_5):\n Total Marks=86+79+90+88+89=432Total Marks=86+79+90+88+89=432\displaystyle \text{Total Marks} = 86 + 79 + 90 + 88 + 89 = 432\n\n2. **Identify the marks for subject S3\displaystyle S_3**:\n Marks in S3=90Marks in \displaystyle \text{Marks in } S_3 = 90\n\n3. **Calculate the Central Angle for S3\displaystyle S_3**:\n θS3=90432×360∘\theta_{S3} = 90432\displaystyle \frac{90}{432} ×\displaystyle \times 360^{\circ}\n - Simplifying 90432\displaystyle 90432\displaystyle \frac{90}{432}:\n 90432=1048=52490432=1048=524\displaystyle \frac{90}{432} = \frac{10}{48} = \frac{5}{24}\n - Calculating the angle:\n θS3=524×360∘=5×15∘=75∘\theta_{S3} = 524\displaystyle \frac{5}{24} ×\displaystyle \times 360^{\circ} = 5 ×\displaystyle \times 15^{\circ} = 75^{\circ}\n\nThus, the central angle for S3\displaystyle S_3 is exactly $75^{\circ}$. This corresponds to Option B.\n\nHence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
