Correct Answer: 2019


Solution : Now, we have to calculate the percentage of students qualified over the applied number of students
Applied = 7500 and Qualified = 720 (in the year 2016)
Percentage $=\frac{720}{7500}\times 100=9.6$%
Applied = 8400 and Qualified = 900 (in the year 2017)
Percentage $=\frac{900}{8400}\times 100=10.71$
Applied = 6500 and Qualified = 600 (in the year 2018)
Percentage $=\frac{600}{6500}\times 100=9.23$%
Applied = 7200 and Qualified = 1000 (in the year 2019)
Percentage $=\frac{1000}{7200}\times 100=13.88$%
Applied = 9000 and Qualified = 1200 (in the year 2020)
Percentage $=\frac{1200}{9000}\times 100=13.33$%
In the year 2019, the percentage is the highest.
Hence, the correct answer is 2019.
