Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
First, compare the Demand and Intake values for each college.
Colleges with Demand greater than Intake: A (3000 > 1500), C (2500 > 1000), and E (3300 > 2200). This gives a count of 3 colleges.
Colleges with Intake greater than Demand: B (1800 > 600) and D (2700 > 1200). This gives a count of 2 colleges.
The ratio of the first group to the second is 3:2.
