Sir/Madam,
In the following question,
"Road safety organisation in Delhi conducted a study and gathered the data of all fatal car accidents that happened on Yamuna Expressway in last five months. The data shows that 60 times out of 250(24%), car was being driven by women. This data is represented using the pie chart in Figure 2.4.2. Choose the correct statement based on given data.",
it is known that, in 24% of accidents were caused by women. Moreover, there is no mention of how many accidents were caused by any others.
But, in the Pie chart, you have shown that 20% of Women caused the accidents.
So, the answer should have been "Pie chart is misleading as it is labelled wrong".
But, the system says, the answer is "Pie chart is misleading as it disobeys area principle".
Please explain.
Regards,
Ponmani
