Option 2: 2003 and 2004
Option 3: 2001 and 2002
Option 4: None of these
Correct Answer: 2000 and 2001
Solution :
As per the given bar graph:
In the year 2000,
The number of passed students in 2000 = 4 thousand
The number of admitted students in 2000 = 6 thousand
Passing percentage in 2000 = $\frac{4}{6}×100=66.67\%$
In the year 2001,
The number of passed students in 2001 = 6 thousand
The number of admitted students in 2001 = 9 thousand
Passing percentage in 2001 = $\frac{6}{9}×100=66.67\%$
In the year 2002,
The number of passed students in 2002 = 6 thousand
The number of admitted students in 2002 = 8 thousand
Passing percentage in 2002 = $\frac{6}{8}×100=75\%$
In the year 2003,
The number of passed students in 2003 = 9 thousand
The number of admitted students in 2003 = 12 thousand
Passing percentage in 2003 = $\frac{9}{12}×100=75\%$
In the year 2004,
The number of passed students in 2004 = 9 thousand
The number of admitted students in 2004 = 11.5 thousand
Passing percentage in 2004 = $\frac{9}{11.5}×100=78.2\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 2000 and 2001.
