(1) The angle at the centre `=360^(@)`
Angle of sector representing the first division `=54^(@)`
Total number of students = 720
The number of students who passed in the first division `=(54^(@)xx720)/(360)=54xx2=108`
(ii) Angle of sector representing the students who passed in the exam `=324^(@)`
Angle of sector representing failed students `=36^(@)`
The ratio of the number of students who passed who passed to that failed = 324 : 36 = 9 : 1
(iii) The percentage of students who failed in the examination `=(36xx100%)/(360)=10%`
