The pie chart below shows the distribution of poultry and livestock in India in 2019, as given in NCERT.
Which two groups together account for more than 80 per cent of the total?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Poultry, and cattle and buffaloes
The chart gives poultry 61 per cent and cattle and buffaloes 22 per cent. Together they make 83 per cent, more than 80.

Option (2) Cattle and buffaloes, and sheep and goats — together only 38 per cent.
Option (4) Poultry and pigs — together only 62 per cent.
