Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Number of students increase from 116054 in 2008 – 09 to 91422 in 1999 – 2000
= 116054 – 91422
= 24632
Percentage of increase in number of students
= `"Number of students increase"/"Number of students in previous year" xx 100`
= `24632/91422 xx 100`
= 0.2694 × 100
= 26.9 ≈ 27%
