These are called circle graphs. A circle
graph shows the relationship between a
whole and its parts. Here, the whole circle is
divided into sectors. The size of each sector
is proportional to the activity or information
it represents.
Example 1:
Adjoining pie chart (Fig 4.4) gives the
expenditure (in percentage) on various items
and savings of a family during a month.
i. On which item, the expenditure was
maximum?
ii. Expenditure on which item is equal to the
total savings of the family?
iii. If the monthly savings of the family is
3000, what is the monthly expenditure on
clothes?
