Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
When a report says that a quantity crossed a mark for the first time, the threshold must be above the previous measured value and below the current measured value.
Application
AISHE records total higher-education enrolment at 3.85 crore in 2019-20 and about 4.13–4.14 crore in 2020-21.
Therefore, 4 crore lies between the previous and current totals and was crossed in 2020-21.
Contrast
5 crore is above the 2020-21 total, so that mark was not reached.
4 crore lies above 3.85 crore and below about 4.13–4.14 crore.
2 crore was already below the 2019-20 total, so it was not crossed for the first time in 2020-21.
1.8 crore was already below the 2019-20 total, so it was not crossed for the first time in 2020-21.
Result
The figure exceeded for the first time was 4 crore.
