Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To determine the second highest percentage increase from 2021 to 2025, we calculate the percentage growth for each program:
• B.A.: ((500 - 150) / 150) × 100 = (350 / 150) × 100 ≈ 233.3%
• B.Sc.: ((80 - 25) / 25) × 100 = (55 / 25) × 100 = 220%
• B.B.A.: ((36 - 50) / 50) × 100 = -28% (Decrease)
• B. Com.: ((132 - 45) / 45) × 100 = (87 / 45) × 100 ≈ 193.3%
• B.C.A.: ((74 - 75) / 75) × 100 ≈ -1.3% (Decrease)
Ranking the increases: B.A. (233.3%) > B.Sc. (220%) > B. Com. (193.3%). Therefore, B.Sc. has the second highest percentage increase.
