Directions to Solve
The following pie-chart shows the percentage distribution of the expenditure incurred in publishing a book. Study the pie-chart and the answer the questions based on it.
Various Expenditures (in percentage) Incurred in Publishing a Book
6.
If the difference between the two expenditures are represented by 18° in the pie-chart, then these expenditures possibly are
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Central angle of 18° = |  |
18 | x 100 |  |
% of the total expenditure |
| 360 |
= 5% of the total expenditure.
From the given chart it is clear that:
Out of the given combinations, only in combination (d) the difference is 5% i.e.
| Paper Cost - Printing Cost | = (25% - 20%) of the total expenditure |
| = 5% of the total expenditure. |

The difference b/w binding and royalty cost is also 5 percent.
So why can't it be the answer.
Please do let me know.
I am bit confused.

Find the angle of each percent i.e.
Angle of royalty= (15/100) 360 =>54.
Binding= (20/100) 360 =>72.
In this way find all angles and take the difference.
Angle of royalty= (15/100) 360 =>54.
Binding= (20/100) 360 =>72.
In this way find all angles and take the difference.

As the question states in degree we can directly find the degree
in order to convert percentage => degree multiply by 18/5.
Paper cost =25% therefore 25*18/5 =90.
Printing cost =20% therefore 20*18/5 =72.
90-72 = 18.

Paper cost = 25%.
Printing cost = 20%.
Paper in degree = 360*25/100 = 90°.
Binding in degree = 360*20/100 = 72°.
So,
90-72 = 18°.
Printing cost = 20%.
Paper in degree = 360*25/100 = 90°.
Binding in degree = 360*20/100 = 72°.
So,
90-72 = 18°.

25%-20% = 5%.
=>5(360)/100 = 18. (Circle contains 360 degrees).
=>5(360)/100 = 18. (Circle contains 360 degrees).

@Mohit and @Rei.
Among the provided four options there is no such option like binding cost and royalty cost, hence our answer could be only option D.

Difference b/w royalty and paper cost is also 5% and given as option B. Why can't it be an answer?
