Correct Option: A
Given :- Number of students of College B in year 2005 = 65000
Number of students of College B in year 2006 = 70000
Total increase in the number of students of College B from 2005 to 2006 = Number of students of College B in year 2006 - Number of students of College B in year 2005
= 70000 - 65000 = 5000
∴ percentage rise in the number of students of College B from 2005 to 2006
| = | Total increase in the number of students of College B from 2005 to 2006 | x 100 % |
| Number of students of College B from 2005 |
| = | 5000 | x 100 % = 7.69% ≈ 8% |
