Correct Answer :

Option B

36°

36°

Solution :

Given:

  • Total cars manufactured = 2400
  • Total petrol cars manufactured = 1500
  • Company E manufactured 300 total cars.
  • Company E manufactured 210 petrol cars.

Step 1: Find the number of diesel cars manufactured by Company E

Diesel cars of Company E = Total cars − Petrol cars

= 300 − 210 = 90

Step 2: Find the total number of diesel cars

Total diesel cars = Total cars − Total petrol cars

= 2400 − 1500 = 900

Step 3: Find the central angle

Central Angle = (90 ÷ 900) × 360°

= (1/10) × 360°

= 36°

Answer: 36°
