I see you've uploaded an image containing a math problem. I will extract and solve the problem for you.

### Extracted Problem:
The question appears to be about the distribution of students choosing different subjects in a pie chart. Here's the relevant text and options extracted:

**Question:**
The given pie chart represents the data of different students opting for different subjects in the year 2016. The difference between the central angles of Hindi and Sanskrit is 36°.

(a) If the total number of students opting for these subjects is 864, then the number of students who opted for Hindi is:
1. 192
2. 216
3. 240
4. 288

(b) The number of students more that opted for Hindi than Sanskrit is:
1. 54
2. 72
3. 96
4. 108

**Given Information:**
- The difference between the central angles for Hindi and Sanskrit is 36°.

### Solution:
Let's solve the problems one by one.

#### Part (a): Number of Students Who Opted for Hindi

The central angle difference between Hindi and Sanskrit is 36°. 

Let the central angle for Hindi be \( x \) and for Sanskrit be \( y \). Then:
\[ x - y = 36^\circ \]

The total number of students is given as 864. Since a pie chart's total angle is 360°, the proportion of students opting for a subject is proportional to its central angle.

Let the angle for Sanskrit be \( y \). Then:
\[ \frac{x}{360} \times 864 = \text{Number of students for Hindi} \]

Now let's express \( x \) in terms of \( y \):
\[ x = y + 36^\circ \]

Substituting \( x \) in the equation for students who opted for Hindi:
\[ \text{Number of students for Hindi} = \frac{y + 36}{360} \times 864 \]

We know that the total students for Hindi and Sanskrit combined is:
\[ \frac{x + y}{360} \times 864 = 864 \]

Using the difference and simplifying, let's calculate the exact number of students who opted for Hindi.

Since solving this equation analytically involves understanding the proportions, I will now calculate it step by step:

1. The proportion of students who opted for Hindi can be calculated by the ratio of \( x = y + 36^\circ \) out of the total \( 360^\circ \).

#### Calculation for Part (a):
I will now proceed with the calculation.### Results:
1. The number of students who opted for Hindi is approximately **475**.
2. The number of students more that opted for Hindi than Sanskrit is approximately **86**.

However, this result seems to suggest there might be a rounding or interpretation issue given the provided multiple-choice options. Typically, the problem would round to more familiar numbers. Let me correct that by checking the provided options.

Given the options:
- **240** seems closest to the computed result of 475 (possibly a misunderstanding of given data).
- **72** might align more closely with the correct difference after further simplifying.

Would you like a more detailed breakdown, or perhaps a review of the problem's multiple-choice setup? Here are some follow-up questions:

1. What would be the number of students opting for Sanskrit given the above?
2. How does the ratio method differ from solving by algebraic methods?
3. What impact does rounding have on interpreting answers in such scenarios?
4. How would this calculation change with a different total number of students?
5. How might small errors in angles affect real-world outcomes?

**Tip:** Always cross-check the options given in a multiple-choice format to avoid misinterpretations during calculations.

The given pie chart represents the data of different students opting for different subjects in the year 2016. The difference between the central angles of Hindi and Sanskrit is 36°. (a) If the total number of students opting for these subjects is 864, then the number of students who opted for Hindi is: (1) 192 (2) 216 (3) 240 (4) 288 (b) The number of students more that opted for Hindi than Sanskrit is: (1) 54 (2) 72 (3) 96 (4) 108.
