Attempted by 23 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
1. Locate the number of candidates who appeared (I) for an interview in Petroleum Engineering in 2014 from the table. This value is 960. 2. Locate the number of candidates who got admission (A) in Electrical Engineering in 2015 from the table. This value is 1120. 3. Calculate the ratio: 960 / 1120. 4. Simplify the ratio: - Divide both numbers by 10: 96 / 112 - Divide both by 16: (96/16) / (112/16) = 6 / 7. The ratio is 6:7. Final Answer: Option B
