  • Options
  • A. Science
  • B. Commerce
  • C. Arts
  • D. Medicine

  • Correct Answer
  • Medicine 

    Explanation

    In 2008, number of students in Science = Total Student in 2008 x 24%
    In 2008, number of students in Science = 35000 x 24% = 35000 x 24/100 = 8400
    In 2009, number of students in Science = Total Student in 2009 x 22%
    In 2009, number of students in Science = 40000 x 22% = 40000 x 22/100 = 8800
    Increase in number of students of Science = 8800 - 8400 = 400
    Hence, Increase percentage = 400 x 100 /8400 = 400/84 = 4.7%
    Similary
    Increase in number of students of Commerce = 24x40000/100 - 22x35000/100 = 9600 - 7700 = 1900
    Hence, their increase percentage = 1900x100 /7700 = 1900/77 = 24.67%
    Increase in number of student of Arts = 11/100 x 40000 - 12/100 x 35000 = 4400 - 4200 = 200
    Hence , their increase percentage = 200/4200 x 100 = 4.67
    Increase in number of student of Medicine = 10/100 x 40000 - 11/100 x 35000 = 4000 - 3850 = 150
    Hence, their increase percentage = 150/3850 x 100 = 3.89%
    So, in Medicine the percentage increase in the number of student was minimum from 2008 to 2009
