Calculation:

Let, total students = 360° 

According to the given data,

In 2022, 

⇒ 93.6° = 15600

So, 360° = 15600/93.6 × 360 = 60000

In 2021,

⇒ 86.4° = 15600

So, 360° = 15600/86.4 × 360 = 65000

Now, percentage change in total number of students = (65000 - 60000)/65000 × 100 

7.69% ≈ 8%

∴ The correct option is 2.
