Pie Charts – Data Interpretation – MBA CUET PG – Notes & Practice Questions

Pie Charts are specific type of data representation where the data is represented in the form of a circle. The circle is divided into various segments or sectors. The circle represents the total value and the different segments or sectors represent certain proportions (degree or percentage value) of the total. The value of each component is in proportion to the circular area representing the component. This chart is used to show the break-up of one variable into its component parts. This chart is less versatile as compared to other representation format like table, bar graph or graph because it can represent only one variable at a time.
