Data Interpretation: College Admissions Analysis

This question requires us to analyze the provided table showing the number of students admitted in three different colleges (A, B, and C) across six different years (2014 to 2019). We need to calculate two specific totals and then find the difference between them.

Understanding the Data Table

The table presents year-wise admission data for Colleges A, B, and C.

Year ↓/College → A B C
2014 8000 14000 11000
2015 15000 17000 13000
2016 17000 23000 19000
2017 13000 27000 23000
2018 22000 26000 24000
2019 27000 18000 16000

Step-by-Step Calculation

Step 1: Calculate the total number of students admitted in college A over all the years together.

We need to sum the number of students admitted in College A from 2014 to 2019.

Total students in College A = Students in 2014 + Students in 2015 + Students in 2016 + Students in 2017 + Students in 2018 + Students in 2019

Total students in College A = $8000 + 15000 + 17000 + 13000 + 22000 + 27000$

Total students in College A = $23000 + 17000 + 13000 + 22000 + 27000$

Total students in College A = $40000 + 13000 + 22000 + 27000$

Total students in College A = $53000 + 22000 + 27000$

Total students in College A = $75000 + 27000$

Total students in College A = $102000$

So, the total number of students admitted in college A over all the years is $102000$.

Step 2: Calculate the total number of students admitted in college C in the year 2018 and 2019 together.

We need to sum the number of students admitted in College C in 2018 and 2019.

Total students in College C (2018 & 2019) = Students in College C (2018) + Students in College C (2019)

Total students in College C (2018 & 2019) = $24000 + 16000$

Total students in College C (2018 & 2019) = $40000$

So, the total number of students admitted in college C in the years 2018 and 2019 together is $40000$.

Step 3: Calculate the difference between the two totals.

Difference = (Total students in College A over all years) - (Total students in College C in 2018 and 2019)

Difference = $102000 - 40000$

Difference = $62000$

The difference between the total number of students admitted in college A overall the years together and the total number of students admitted in college C in the year 2018 and 2019 together is $62000$.

Conclusion

The calculated difference is 62000.

Revision Table: College Admissions Data

Calculation Value
Total Students in College A (2014-2019) 102000
Total Students in College C (2018-2019) 40000
Difference 102000 - 40000 = 62000
