The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Each sector is 120 degrees, so Wheat = Ragi = Rice = 120/360 = 33.33%.
Step 1: 8% of Rice is replaced by Ragi. Rice = 33.33 - 8 = 25.33%, Ragi = 33.33 + 8 = 41.33%.
Step 2: 3% of Wheat is replaced by Rice. Wheat = 33.33 - 3 = 30.33%, Rice = 25.33 + 3 = 28.33%.
Step 3: 7% of Ragi is replaced by Wheat. Ragi = 41.33 - 7 = 34.33%, Wheat = 30.33 + 7 = 37.33%.
Ragi + Wheat = 34.33 + 37.33 = 71.66%.
Answer: (1) 71.66%
