Find the percentage of land under the crop sugarcane.

MH SET 2026 Paper 1 Question Paper (25-Oct-2026)
The correct answer is

30%

In a pie diagram the angle of a sector is proportional to the share of that item in the total, with the full circle of 360° standing for 100%. Therefore the percentage for any crop equals its sector angle divided by 360°, multiplied by 100.

Percentage of land under sugarcane = \((\frac{108^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}) \times 100\)
\(= 0.3 \times 100\)
\(= 30\%\)

Thus sugarcane occupies 30% of the cultivated land. A share of 40% would need an angle of 144°, 55% would need 198°, and 65% would need 234°, none of which matches the 108° sector given in the table.

Hence, 30%.
