Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
First, calculate the total number of students admitted in each year by summing the values across all programs.
Total 2021 = 150 + 25 + 50 + 45 + 75 = 345
Total 2022 = 225 + 40 + 45 + 62 + 70 = 442
Total 2023 = 450 + 65 + 30 + 90 + 73 = 708
Total 2024 = 470 + 73 + 35 + 105 + 70 = 753
Total 2025 = 500 + 80 + 36 + 132 + 74 = 822
Next, calculate the ratio of admitted students to the previous year for each applicable year:
Ratio (2022/2021) = 442 / 345 ≈ 1.28
Ratio (2023/2022) = 708 / 442 ≈ 1.60
Ratio (2024/2023) = 753 / 708 ≈ 1.06
Ratio (2025/2024) = 822 / 753 ≈ 1.09
Comparing the ratios, the highest ratio is approximately 1.60 in the year 2023.
