Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
We need to find the ratio of marks between two subjects. In a pie chart, the ratio of the values represented by two sectors is equal to the ratio of their central angles.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
Ratio of Marks = Ratio of Angles.
From the pie chart:
- Angle for Hindi = 60��
- Angle for Social Studies = 72��
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
The ratio of marks scored in Hindi to Social Studies is the same as the ratio of their corresponding angles.
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Marks in Hindi}}{\text{Marks in Social Studies}} = \frac{\text{Angle for Hindi}}{\text{Angle for Social Studies}} = \frac{60^\circ}{72^\circ} \]
Now, we simplify the fraction \(\frac{60}{72}\). Both numbers are divisible by their greatest common divisor, which is 12.
\[ \frac{60 \div 12}{72 \div 12} = \frac{5}{6} \]
The ratio is 5:6.
Alternatively, one could calculate the marks:
Marks in Hindi = \(60 \times 1.5 = 90\).
Marks in Social Studies = \(72 \times 1.5 = 108\).
Ratio = \(90:108\). Dividing both by their GCD (18) gives \(5:6\).
Step 4: Final Answer:
The ratio is 5:6, which corresponds to option (D).
