Study the given circle graph and answer the question that follows.

The circle graph shows the production of rice by seven different States – U.P, A.P, Bihar, Kashmir, Kerala, Odisha and Haryana – during a particular year.

If the total production of rice by all the given states during the particular year was 20 thousand tonnes, then what was the approximate production of rice (in tonnes) by Kerala?

Correct option is D

Given:

Total rice production = 20,000 tonnes

Kerala’s sector angle = 48°

Total angle in a circle = 360°

Solution:

Production by Kerala = $$\left( \frac{48^\circ}{360^\circ} \right) \times 20000$$​

=$$\frac{48}{360} \times 20000 = \frac{2}{15} \times 20000 = 2666.67$$​

Approximately 2,667 tonnes of rice were produced by Kerala.
