Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
To calculate the percentage of total candidates admitted to the total number of candidates interviewed for Chemical Engineering, sum the values across all years (2014-2019).
Total Interviewed (I) = 1274 + 1165 + 1108 + 1230 + 1492 + 982 = 7251
Total Admitted (A) = 1090 + 1065 + 1024 + 1180 + 1372 + 930 = 6661
Percentage = (6661 / 7251) * 100 ≈ 91.86%
