Under which discipline and in which year was the percentage increase in the applications received over the previous year maximum ?

  • A.Arts, 1995
  • B.Science, 1992
  • C.Arts, 1994
  • D.Arts, 1992

Answer: D

The maximum increase was in Arts, 1992.

Percentage increase over the previous year for each option:

  • Arts 1992: \(\frac{3160 - 2000}{2000} = 58\%\).
  • Science 1992: \(\frac{5100 - 3700}{3700} \approx 37.8\%\).
  • Arts 1994: \(\frac{4000 - 3200}{3200} = 25\%\).
  • Arts 1995: \(\frac{5000 - 4000}{4000} = 25\%\).

Science 1992 has the largest absolute rise (1400), but in percentage terms Arts 1992 is far ahead because its base was small.
