HELP!! I have doubt in Week 2, Activity Question 4 - Q.2). I think the answer should be 1st option because women - 24% is rounded off to 20%, which is indeed misleading in the pie chart. The area principle has not been violated as far as I can make out.

If I am wrong, please correct me. Please explain why the 2nd option is being shown as correct answer.

Thanks for the clarification. Please correct it as soon as possible. Activity question 3 Q.1) of week 2 probably has such a mistake as well [Answer should be pie chart in my opinion]. Such mistakes in questions cause great inconvenience to the learners and wrong concepts may get instilled in our minds.
