Pie Chart - Data Interpretation Questions For SSC/UPSC/SBI Mains 2016 -

IBPS PO
Data interpretation is quite different from the other fields tested in the Competitive examinations.
Data interpretation or DI as the name suggests tests your ability to perceive data and use the data given to you
in the most efficient manner.
I know this sounds a very easy thing to do; you are simply to choose the best possible answer to the question
asked. Think about it this way, if you are provided with a lot of information, it will obviously take more time
for you to go through the data completely. You should however be prepared enough to solve DI questions for
Bank exams or any other competitive exams, no matter the amount of data presented to you.
Data interpretation for bank exams provided by Bank4Study.com will help you a lot in your goal to crack the
test. You will be taught to solve these questions better by solving many Data Interpretation problems.
Like any other field in mathematics, you will find that you will get better and better at Data interpretation for
bank exams with practice only. There is no alternative to practice and that is the only solution. You might be

wondering where you can find good data interpretation problems and solutions online. The answer is simple
too. Simply, visit to bank4study.com for SBI PO or IBPS PO exams and you will find many benefits with it.
I have mentioned before that there is no real alternative to practice when it comes to Data interpretation. You
need to practice as many questions as possible, and bank4study.com helps you by providing DI questions for
SBI PO or IBPS PO Clerk. These questions will help you master the concepts of data interpretation better.
Once you are sure that you have mastered the concepts involved in data interpretation, then you can easily
crark the Quantitative Section of IBPS PO & SBI PO.
About Pie Charts
A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating proportion. In a pie chart,
there are length of each sector (and consequently its central angle and area), is proportional to the quantity it
represents. When angles are measured with 1 turn as unit then a number of percent is identified with the same
number of centiturns. Together, the sectors create a full disk. It is named for its resemblance to a pie which
has been sliced. The earliest known pie chart is generally credited to William Playfair's Statistical Breviary of
1801. Pie charts are common in business and journalism.
Related Formula
In pie charts, from geometry, we know that the area the sector of a circle must be proportional to the
corresponding value of the component.
Since the sum of all the central angle is 360, we have Central angle of the component
= {(value of the component/Total value) x 360} .
Total of Pie Charts = 360
If you need to make any angle into percentage then =

Answer of Data Interpretation

1. Answer : (D)
Required number = (17% of 27300) + (14% of 24700)
= 4641 + 3458 = 8099.
2. Answer : (D)
Required ratio = (21% of 24700)/(14% of 27300) = 19/14
3. Answer : (B)
Students of institute M at graduate level = 17% of 27300 = 4641.
Students of institute S at graduate level = 14% of 27300 = 3822.
Total number of students at graduate in institutes M and S = (4641 + 3822) = 8463.
4. Answer : (D)
Required ratio = (21% of 24700)/(13% of 27300)
= (21 x 24700)/(13 x 27300)
= 19/13
5. Answer : (C)
Required number = (15% of 24700) + (12% of 24700)
= 3705 + 2964
= 6669.
6. Answer : (B)
(40+10) = 50% (from first chart)
7. Answer : (B)
40:15 = 8:3
8. Answer : (D)
Tourist traffic from India to other countries is 20%.
Amongst this 20%, 25% of traffic from India to Switzerland.
So, 25% of 20% = (25/100 x 20/100)
= 5% corresponds to the Indian traffic in Switzerland.
5 % corresponds to Switzerland is 25 lakh.
Over all Indian traffic to all the countries = (25 x 100/5) = 500 lakh (total traffic)
Hence 15% of total traffic = 15/100 x 500 = 75 lakh.
9. Answer : (A)
A pie chart is of 360.
Hence Skin = 1/10 of 360 = 36
So Percentage of Skin in pie chart = (36/360 x 100)% = 10%
Total percentage = (10 / 24) x 100 = 41.6666667 %
10. Answer : (D)
A pie chart is of 360.
Hence 1/5 of 360 = 72
So Percentage of Bones in pie chart = (72/360 x 100)% = 20%
So Percentage of skin in pie chart = 1/10 of 360 = 36
= (36/360 x 100)% = 10%
20% + 10% = 30% is made up of either bones or skin. Hence, 70% is made up of neither.
11. Answer : (D)

It cannot be determined since the respective distributions are not known.
12. Answer : (D)

Although it seems to be Commodore, the answer cannot be determined due to the fact that we are unaware of
the break-up of the sales value and volume of companies compromising the other categories.
13. Answer : (A)

If we assume the total sales to be 100 in the first year, IBM's sales would go up by 50% (from 28 to 42)
contributing an increase of 14 to the total sales value.
Similarly, Apple's increase of 15% would contribute an increase of 2.1 to the total sales value. The net change
would be 14 + 2.1 on 100. (i.e., 16.1%)
14. Answer : (D)

IBM accounts for 28% of the share by value and 10% of the share by volume.
28% of 1650000 = 28 x 1650000/100 = 462000
10% of 1500 = 10 x 1500/100 = 150
Therefore, average unit sale price = 462000/150 = 3080.
15. Answer : (B)

20% of the total funds to be arranged = Rs. (20% of 57600) crores
= Rs. 11520 crores is near about Rs. 11486 crores.
Rs. 11486 crores is the amount of funds to be arranged through External Assistance.
16. Answer : (C)

Shortage of funds arranged through External Assistance = Rs. (11486 - 9695) crores = Rs. 1791 crores.
Increase required in Market Borrowing = Rs. 1791 crores.
Percentage increase required = ( 1791 / 29952 x 100) % = 5.98% or 6%. App.
17. Answer : (C)

Amount permitted = (Funds required from Toll for projects of Phase II) + (10% of these funds)
= Rs. 4910 crores + Rs. (10% of 4910) crores
= Rs. (4910 + 491) crores
= Rs. 5401 crores.
18. Answer : (C)

Central angle corresponding to Market Borrowing
= (29952 + 11486 + 5252 + 4910 + 6000) = 57600
= ( 29952/57600 x 360) = 187.2
19. Answer : (B)
Required ratio = 4910 / 29952
=1 / 6.1 or 1:6 app
20. Answer : (A)

Percentage of money spend on Tennis = ( 45 / 360 x 100) % = 12 %
21. Answer : (D)
Required percentage =
22. Answer : (A)
Amount spent on Basketball exceeds that on Tennis by:
23. Answer : (C)

Let the total spending on sports be Rs. X. Then,
Amount spent on Cricket = Rs.
Amount spent on Football = Rs
Difference =
Required percentage =
24. Answer : (C)
Let the amount of Royalty to be paid for these books be Rs. r.

Then, 20 : 15 = 30600 : r
25. Answer : (C)

Central angle corresponding to Royalty = (15% of 360) = 54
26. Answer : (B)

Clearly, marked price of the book = 120% of C.P.
Also, cost of paper = 25% of C.P
Let the cost of paper for a single book be Rs. n.
Then, 120 : 25 = 180 : n
27. Answer : (A)
For the publisher to earn a profit of 25%, S.P = 125% of C.P.
Also Transportation Cost = 10% of C.P
Let the S.P. of 5500 books be Rs. X
Then, 10 : 125 = 82500 : X
S.P. of one book =
28. Answer : (D)

Printing Cost of book = 20% of C.P.
Royalty on book = 15% of C.P.
Difference = (20% of C.P.) - (15% of C.P) = 5% of C.P.
29. Answer : (D)
Central angle of 18 =
From the given chart it is clear that:

Out of the given combinations, only in combination (d) the difference is 5% i.e.
Paper Cost - Printing Cost = (25% - 20%) of the total expenditure = 5% of the total expenditure.
30. Answer : (B)

Clearly, S.P. of the book = 105% of C.P.
Let the selling price of this edition (of 12500 books) be Rs. x.
Then, 15 : 105 = 281250 : X
X = ( 105 x 281250 / 15)
X = Rs. 1968750.
31. Answer : (B)

Let the Promotion Cost for this edition be Rs. p.
Then, 25 : 10 = 56250 : p
p = Rs ( 56250 x 10 / 25) = Rs 22500
32. Answer : (A)
Central angle of 108 = ( 108/360 x 100) % of the total expenditure
360 = 30% of the total expenditure.
From the pie chart it is clear that:
Binding Cost + Transportation Cost = (20% + 10%) of the total expenditure = 30% of the total expenditure.
Binding Cost and Transportation Cost together have a central angle of 108.
33. Answer : (D)

Central angle corresponding to Royalty = (10% of 360) = 36.
