Q96 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (25 April Shift 1) · Biology
Based on the given pie chart identify the INCORRECT statement.
- ADiversity of eubacteria is the least.
- BAnimal diversity is the highest.
- Correct answerCPlant species diversity is equal to animal species diversity.
- DFungal diversity is more than protists diversity.
Solution
Based on the given pie chart, the area of each sector represents the relative diversity of the respective group.
1. The sector for Animals is the largest, indicating that animal diversity is the highest.
2. The sector for Eubacteria is the smallest, indicating that the diversity of eubacteria is the least.
3. The sector for Fungi is larger than the sector for Protists, indicating that fungal diversity is more than protist diversity.
4. The sector for Plants is clearly much smaller than the sector for Animals. Therefore, plant species diversity is not equal to animal species diversity.
Thus, the statement 'Plant species diversity is equal to animal species diversity' is incorrect.
Answer: Plant species diversity is equal to animal species diversity.
1. The sector for Animals is the largest, indicating that animal diversity is the highest.
2. The sector for Eubacteria is the smallest, indicating that the diversity of eubacteria is the least.
3. The sector for Fungi is larger than the sector for Protists, indicating that fungal diversity is more than protist diversity.
4. The sector for Plants is clearly much smaller than the sector for Animals. Therefore, plant species diversity is not equal to animal species diversity.
Thus, the statement 'Plant species diversity is equal to animal species diversity' is incorrect.
Answer: Plant species diversity is equal to animal species diversity.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
