Last Answer : Answer: B The number of students with first division = 56 % of 900  = 56/100 × 900 = 50400/100  = 504 And, the number of students with second division = 27 % of 900  = 27/100 × 900  =24300/100  = 243 Therefore, the number of students who just passed = 900 – (504 + 243)  = 900- 747  = 153
