===========
SOLUTION :-
===========

Passed in none = 5% 
Passed in all = 5%
Passed in four = 20% 0f 90% = 18%
Passed in three = 24.5%
Passed in three =(100-5-5-22.5-24.5-18) = 25%.
But given 300 students passed in three. 
Hence, 25% = 300. 
So, 100% = 1200. 
1200 students must have appeared.

So , Option (B) 1200 is the right answer ✔️
