Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The angles add up to 360∘360^\circ, so Orange is 360∘−(60∘+100∘+120∘)=80∘360^\circ - (60^\circ + 100^\circ + 120^\circ) = 80^\circ.
  2. 80∘80^\circ stands for 60 oranges, so each degree is 6080=34\frac{60}{80} = \frac34 of a fruit.
  3. Apple is 120∘120^\circ: 120×34=90120 \times \frac34 = 90 apples, option A.
