    Given that the student is passing exam, i.e., if only 20 students (out of 100) are considered, of the 5 students get more than 90%
    ∴ 5 out of 20 is the probability or 1/4 is the answer.
    Alternative Method :
    Let the student pass the examination be A and student pass the examination and got about 90% marks be B Now P(A) = 20% and P(A ∩ B) = 5%

    ∴ P
    B
    =
    P(A ∩ B)
    =
    5%
    =
