Answer: (a) O = 162°, B = 108°, A = 72°, AB = 18°; (b) 2000 persons

(a) Central angle = \(\dfrac{\text{percentage}}{100} \times 360^\circ\):

O: \(\tfrac{45}{100} \times 360 = 162^\circ\); B: \(\tfrac{30}{100} \times 360 = 108^\circ\); A: \(\tfrac{20}{100} \times 360 = 72^\circ\); AB: \(\tfrac{5}{100} \times 360 = 18^\circ\). (Total 360°.)

(b) 30% of total = 600, so total = \(600 \times \dfrac{100}{30} = 2000\) persons.
