It immediately read like a question beyond Einstein and so with 2.23 already on the clock, chose to say screw it, moving on and selected B because c,d and e suspiciously gave some precise, extra info, so left between A and B, i was like this question is a real B!tch, which starts with B. so imma choose B. where's that meme with a baby pulling a heck yeah fist punch. devinawilliam83 wrote: Eventually got the answer but this took me a lot of time.Is it possible to solve questions like these in under 2 minutes?

The answer is B, simply because it is not necessarily true. All the others are necessarily true.

I think most of you are getting it wrong. % increase is not the same as total increase. Total increase deals with the number of students changing from year to year (absolute value). Percentage increase deals with the number of students passing and not passing for a given year (relative value). Check attachment for an in-depth analysis of options A and B.
