If the GDP is N60 billion, what is the difference between the contributions of oil and manufacturing sectors?

A.

N11.7 billion

B.

N13.3 billion

C.

N21.7 billion

D.

N26.6 billion

Correct answer is B

The summation of a piechart is 360°.  To get the figure for manufacturing sector we simply add the figures for oil, agriculture and mining sector and minus it from 360. Thus we have;

160 + 90 + 30 = 280
360 - 280 = 80
Manufacturing sector = 80°

The difference between Oil sector and manufacturing sector =

Oil sector = 160 / 360 x 100 = 44.44% 
0.444 x 60,000,000,000 = 26,640,000,000

Manufacturing sector = 80 / 360 x 100 = 22.22%
 0.222 x 60,000,000,00 = 13,320,000,000

Difference 26,640,000,000 - 13,320,000,000 = 13,320,000,000
