Correct Answer :

Option C

300

300

Solution :

The correct answer is 300.

Based on the data and the pie charts provided in the question:
- The total number of students who appeared for the exam across all sections is 1800, which is represented by the first pie chart with angles totaling 360°.
- The total number of students who passed the exam across all sections is 800, which is represented by the second pie chart with percentages totaling 100%.

From the first pie chart, Section C has a central angle of 100°.

To find the number of students who appeared from Section C:
Appeared in Section C = 100 360 × 1800 = 500

From the second pie chart, the percentage of passed students belonging to Section C is 25%.

To find the number of students who passed from Section C:
Passed in Section C = 25 %  of  800 = 25 100 × 800 = 200

The number of students who failed in Section C is calculated by subtracting the number of passed students from the number of appeared students in Section C:

Failed in Section C = Appeared in Section C - Passed in Section C

Failed in Section C = 500 - 200 = 300
