Represent the above information by a pie-chart.
2. A bag contains 3 blue and 2 red balls. A ball is drawn at random. What is the
probability of drawing a red ball?

5. Construct a pie chart for the given data:
Case Study 1
The pie chart gives the marks scored in an examination by a student in different subjects. If
the total marks obtained were 540, answer the following questions–
(i) In which subject did the student score 105 marks?
(ii) How many more marks were obtained by the student
in Mathematics than in Hindi?
(iii) In which subject student scored less marks?
Case Study 2
Given below is a pie chart showing the time spend by a group of 350 children in different
games. Observe it and answer the questions
that follow.
(a) How many children spend at least one
hour in playing games?
(b) How many children spend more than 2
hours in playing games?
(c) How many children spend 3 or lesser hours in playing games?
(d) Which is greater — number of children who spend 2 hours or more per day or number
of children who play for less than one hour?
Case study 3
A bag contains13 red balls, 10 black balls, and 14 white balls. A ball is drawn at random from
the bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is:
(i) White?
(ii) Red?
(iii) Black?
(iv) Not red?
Case study 4
One day Rahul visited park along with his friend. There he saw a game of chance that consists
of spinning an arrow (as shown in below figure) that comes to rest pointing at one of the
numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7, 8 and these are equally likely outcomes.
1. Find the probability that the arrow will point at 2.
2. Find the probability that the arrow will point at an even number.
3. Find the probability that the arrow will point at a prime number.
4. Find the probability that the arrow will point at a number divisible by
