Question : The pie chart shows the distribution of the 5,00,040 employed people of a city according to their occupations in terms of the central angles of the sectors representing people engaged in the different occupations mentioned.

As per the information provided above, how many more people work in the service sector when compared to the number of people who engage themselves in business?

Option 1: 24,492

Option 2: 25,684

Option 3: 25,000

Option 4: 25,002

Correct Answer: 25,002

Solution : Total number of employees = 5,00,040
Total share for all sectors = 36° + 24° + 108° + 42° + 150° = 360°
The value for the service sector = 42°
Number of people working in the service sector = $\frac{42}{360}\times 500040$ = 58,338
The value for the business sector = 24°
Number of people working in the business sector = $\frac{24}{360}\times{500040}$ = 33,336
The difference in the number of people in both of these sectors = 58,338 – 33,336 = 25,002
$\therefore$ 25,002 more people are working in the service sector compared to the business sector.
Hence, the correct answer is 25,002.
