The given pie chart shows the result of a survey carried out to find the modes of travel used by children to go to school.
$( a)$. What is the most common mode of transport?
$( b)$. What fraction of children travel by car?
$( c)$ If $18$ children travel by car, how many children took part in the survey?
$( d)$ By which two modes of transport are equal number of children travelling?
"\n
Solution:
$( a)$. Since, the highest central angle $120^o$ is of the bus.
Hence, the most common mode of transport is the bus.
$( b)$. Fraction of children travel by car$=\frac{Angle\ covered\ by\ the\ car\ section}{Total\ angle}$
$=\frac{90^o}{360^o}$
$=\frac{1}{4}$
$( c)$. No. of children travelling by car $=$ Fraction of children travelling by car $\times$ Total no of children.
$\Rightarrow 18=\frac{1}{4}\times$ Total no of children ...... from $( b)$
$\Rightarrow$ Total no of children $=18\times4$
$\Rightarrow$ Total no of children $=72$
$( d)$. The central angle for students travelling by cycle and those who walk is same. Thus , the two modes of transport are equal number of children travelling are cycle and walk.
