    Question

    The following pie diagram shows information about the number of students who like a particular type of breakfast items prepared by hostel chef. The number of total students in the hostel is 3200.

    Which of these statements is NOT true?

    A.

    Only 160 students like Eggs for Breakfast

    B.

    The number of students liking Plum Cake for Breakfast is the same as the number of students liking Cornflakes.

    C.

    The ratio of students liking Idly to students liking Eggs is 3 : 1

    D.

    The difference between the number of students liking Cornflakes and Plum Cakes and the number of students liking Bread and Eggs is greater than the number of students who like Idly.

    Correct option is D

    Solution:
    The number of total students in the hostel is 3200.
    In Pie chart total percentage = 100%
    100% = 3200
    1% = 3200100\frac{3200}{100}​​
    1% = 32
    Then,
    Cornflakes = 25% = 25 × 32 = 800
    Plum cakes = 25% = 25 × 32 = 800
    Eggs = 5% = 5 × 32 = 160
    Idly =  15% = 15 × 32 = 480
    Bread = 30% = 30 × 32 = 960
    Then, 
    By option (a),
    Only 160 students like Eggs for Breakfast
    Option (a) follow.
    By option (b),
    The number of students liking Plum Cake for Breakfast is the same as the number of students liking Cornflakes.
    800 = 800
    option (b) follow.
    By option (c),
    The ratio of students liking Idly to students liking Eggs is 3 : 1
    480:160
    3:1
    option (c) follow.
    By option (d),
    The difference between the number of students liking Cornflakes and Plum Cakes and the number of students liking Bread and Eggs is greater than the number of students who like Idly.
    Cornflakes and Plum Cakes = (800 + 800) = 1600
    Bread and Eggs = (960 + 160) = 1120
    1600 - 1120 = 480
    Idly = 480
    Both are equal.
    then,
    but option (d) not follow,
    hence, option (d) is correct.
