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