Rainy | 120 |
Winter | 150 |
Answer
(i) Winter season got the most votes.
(ii) Central angle of summer season = 360°90°×360° = 90°
Central angle of rainy season = 360°120°×360° = 120°
Central angle of winter season = 360°150°×360° = 150°
season | Number of votes | In fraction | Central angle |
---|---|---|---|
Summer | 90 | 36090 | 36090×360°=90° |
Rainy | 120 | 360120 | 360120×360°=120° |
Winter | 150 | 360150 | 360150×360°=150° |
