    Correct Answer: Option n
    Explanation:



    (a) Sector angle represented by the officers:
    Total number of officers = 240
    Clerks = \(\frac{78}{240} \times 360° = 117°\)
    Drivers = \(\frac{36}{240} \times 360° = 54°\)
    Typists = \(\frac{44}{240} \times 360° = 66°\)
    Messengers = \(\frac{52}{240} \times 360° = 78°\)
    Others = \(\frac{30}{240} \times 360° = 45°\)

    (b)
    Marks (x) 4 5 6 7 8 9 Total
    No of candidates (f) 5 8 5 6 4 2 30
    \(fx\) 20 40 30 42 32 18 182



    Mean score = \(\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}\)
    = \(\frac{182}{30}\)
    = \(6.067\) marks \(\approxeq\) 6 marks to the nearest whole number.
