Correct Answer: 33.3%


Solution : As per the given graph:
The number of students admitted in the year 2001 = 9000 students
The number of students admitted in the year 2003 = 12000 students
Increase in the number of students from the year 2003 to 2001 = 12000 – 9000 = 3000 students
Required percentage = $\frac{\text{Increase in the number of students from the year 2003 to 2001}}{{\text{The number of students admitted in the year 2001}}}× 100$
Required percentage = $\frac{3000}{9000}× 100$ = 33.3%
Hence, the correct answer is 33.3%.
