Solution

Number of students appeared in 2007 – 08 = 105332

Number of students appeared in 2008 – 09 = 116054

Number of students passed in 2007 – 08 = 88151

Number of students passed in 2008 – 09 = 103804

Passed percentage of students in 2007 – 08

= `("Number of students passed in"  2007 - 08)/("Number of students appeared in"  2007 - 08) xx 100`

= `88151/105332 xx 100`

= `8815100/105332`

= 83.68%

Passed percentage of students in 2008 – 09

= `("Number of students passed in"  2008 - 09)/("Number of students appeared in"  2008 - 09) xx 100`

= `103804/116054 xx 100`

= `10380400/116054`

= 89.44%

∴ Increase in percentage = 89.44 – 83.68 = 5.76%
