If 15% of 360 than 10% is 36.
Hence 5% is 18 now 15% is 54.
Hence 5% is 18 now 15% is 54.

Why central angle correspond to the royalty?

15/100 = 0.15.
360*0.15 = 54.
360*0.15 = 54.

You can also find out the answer in this way:
15*3.6 = 54.
NOTE-[1%=3.6].
15*3.6 = 54.
NOTE-[1%=3.6].

But its given corresponding sector. So we should have taken 15% of either 10% or 20% na?

Central angle means degree, total angle any circle is 360" degree that we measure using protractor.

15% is the royalty as given in the ques.
10% = 36 degree, 1% = 3.6 degree there for 5% = 18 degree
10+5 = 36+18
15% = 54 simple.
10% = 36 degree, 1% = 3.6 degree there for 5% = 18 degree
10+5 = 36+18
15% = 54 simple.

You can also findout the answer in this way-:
15*18/5=54
Note:- If we want to convert percentage into degree then we will multiply by 18/5 and if we want to convert degree into percentage then we will multiply by 5/18.
15*18/5=54
Note:- If we want to convert percentage into degree then we will multiply by 18/5 and if we want to convert degree into percentage then we will multiply by 5/18.
