XAT 2014 — QA & DI Question 28
Answer the questions based on the given data on the tourism sector in India.
âââââââ
Let ‘R’ be the ratio of Foreign Exchange Earnings from Tourism in India (in US $ million) to Foreign Tourist Arrivals in India (in million). Assume that R increases linearly over the years. If we draw a pie chart of R for all the years, the angle subtended by the biggest sector in the pie chart would be approximately:
Answer & solution
- A
24
- B
30
36
- D
42
- E
48
The value of R for each year is as shown below:
When a pie-chart is made using the values of R, the value for 2011 forms the largest sector. Also, the total value of R is 26415.49.
Observe that the value of R in 2011 is approximately 10% of the total. So, the angle that it subtends at the centre is 10% of 360 i.e. 36 degrees.
Hence, option (c).
