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.
