Correct Answer: 108


Solution : Given:
80% of the students passed an examination.
20% of students failed in an examination = 90
If 20% = 90
1% = 90 ÷ 20
1% = 45
100% = 450
80% = 360
27% of the students passed in the first division = 27% of 360
= 97.2
43% passed in the second division = 43% of 360
= 154.8
The number of students who passed in the third division = 360 – (97.2 + 154.8)
= 360 – 252
= 108

So, the number of students passing the third division is 108. Hence, the second option is correct.
