Study the given pie-chart and answer the question that follows.
If the pie-chart shows the distribution of 36 marbles among 3 persons (where Madhuri's share corresponds to an angle of 160
∘
in the circle), then the number of marbles Madhuri has is:

- A8
- B12
- C16
- D18
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The total angle in a pie chart is 360
∘
, which represents the total number of marbles, 36.
Madhuri's share corresponds to 160
∘
.
The number of marbles Madhuri has is calculated as:
Number of marbles=
360
∘
160
