Analyzing College Admission Data

The question asks to identify the number of years where the number of students admitted to the B.A. program is greater than 50% of the total number of students admitted across all programs in that year.

Student Admissions Data

Year B.A. B.Sc. B.B.A. B. Com. B.C.A.
2021 150 25 50 45 75
2022 225 40 45 62 70
2023 450 65 30 90 32
2024 470 73 35 105 70
2025 500 80 36 132 74

Calculating Years: B.A. vs. 50% Total

We need to perform calculations for each year:

  • Calculate the total number of students admitted.
  • Calculate 50% of the total students.
  • Compare this 50% value with the number of B.A. students.
  • Count the years where B.A. students > 50% of Total students.

Year-wise Analysis

Year 2021

  • Total Students = 150 + 25 + 50 + 45 + 75 = 345
  • 50% of Total Students = $\frac{345}{2}$ = 172.5
  • B.A. Students = 150
  • Comparison: Is 150 > 172.5? No.

Year 2022

  • Total Students = 225 + 40 + 45 + 62 + 70 = 442
  • 50% of Total Students = $\frac{442}{2}$ = 221
  • B.A. Students = 225
  • Comparison: Is 225 > 221? Yes. (Count = 1)

Year 2023

  • Total Students = 450 + 65 + 30 + 90 + 32 = 667
  • 50% of Total Students = $\frac{667}{2}$ = 333.5
  • B.A. Students = 450
  • Comparison: Is 450 > 333.5? Yes. (Count = 2)

Year 2024

  • Total Students = 470 + 73 + 35 + 105 + 70 = 753
  • 50% of Total Students = $\frac{753}{2}$ = 376.5
  • B.A. Students = 470
  • Comparison: Is 470 > 376.5? Yes. (Count = 3)

Year 2025

  • Total Students = 500 + 80 + 36 + 132 + 74 = 822
  • 50% of Total Students = $\frac{822}{2}$ = 411
  • B.A. Students = 500
  • Comparison: Is 500 > 411? Yes. (Count = 4)

Final Result

The condition (B.A. students > 50% of Total students) is met in 4 years (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025).
