The pie chart shows the distribution of the crops harvested from a farmland in a year. If 3000 tonnes of millet is harvested, what amount of beans is harvested?

Others 60°BeansMillet 150°Maize
Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Maize is marked with a right angle, so it is 90∘90^\circ.
  2. Beans is the rest: 360∘−60∘−90∘−150∘=60∘360^\circ - 60^\circ - 90^\circ - 150^\circ = 60^\circ.
  3. Millet's 150∘150^\circ stands for 3000 tonnes, so 1∘1^\circ stands for 3000÷150=203000 \div 150 = 20 tonnes.
  4. Beans: 60×20=120060 \times 20 = 1200 tonnes, option D.
