Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
To find the year with the lowest ratio of B.A. students to total students, we calculate the total number of students and the corresponding ratio for each year.
For 2021: Total students = 150 + 25 + 50 + 45 + 75 = 345. Ratio (B.A./Total) = 150/345 ≈ 0.435.
For 2022: Total students = 225 + 40 + 45 + 62 + 70 = 442. Ratio (B.A./Total) = 225/442 ≈ 0.509.
For 2023: Total students = 450 + 65 + 30 + 90 + 73 = 708. Ratio (B.A./Total) = 450/708 ≈ 0.636.
For 2024: Total students = 470 + 73 + 35 + 105 + 70 = 753. Ratio (B.A./Total) = 470/753 ≈ 0.624.
For 2025: Total students = 500 + 80 + 36 + 132 + 74 = 822. Ratio (B.A./Total) = 500/822 ≈ 0.608.
Comparing the ratios, 0.435 is the lowest value. Therefore, the year with the lowest ratio of admitted students in B.A. program to those in all programs is 2021.
