Doughnut charts:
(A) Contains More than one data series
(B) Comparable with Pie Chart
(C) Comparable with bar graph
(D) Comparable with Line Chart
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) and (B) only
A doughnut chart is drawn like a pie chart with a hole in the middle. Like a pie chart it shows how parts make up a whole, but unlike a pie chart it can carry more than one data series, each as a separate ring.
(A) Contains More than one data series Correct. Each ring of the doughnut is one data series, so several series can be shown together, which a pie chart cannot do.
(B) Comparable with Pie Chart Correct. Both charts show the relationship of parts to a whole, so a doughnut chart is read the same way as a pie chart.
(C) Comparable with bar graph Incorrect. A bar graph compares values along an axis; a doughnut chart has no axes and shows shares of a whole.
(D) Comparable with Line Chart Incorrect. A line chart shows a trend over time along two axes, which a doughnut chart does not do.
