Students from outside the province of Markland, who in any given academic year pay twice as much tuition each as do students from Markland, had traditionally accounted for at least two-thirds of the enrollment at Central Markland College. Over the past 10 years academic standards at the college have risen and the proportion of students who are not Marklanders has dropped to around 40 percent.
Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the statements above?
(A) If it had not been for the high tuition paid by students from outside Markland, the college could not have improved its academic standards over the past 10 years.
(B) If academic standards had not risen over the past 10 years, students who are not Marklanders would still account for at least two-thirds of the college’s enrollment.
(C) Over the past 10 year the number of students from Markland increased and the number of students from outside Markland decreased.
(D) Over the past 10 years academic standards at Central Markland College have risen by more than academic standards at any other college in Markland.
(E) If the college’s per capita revenue from tuition has remained the same, tuition fees have increased over the past 10 years.

can anyone plz explain y ans is e...?
as in paragraph nothing is said about hike in fee....so we cant say anything..proably all colleges are run by govt so colleges are not concerned abt fee hike...

So i think B is ans...bt nothing is said to support b ...
Plz help

B

revenue per capita is the average, not total!
however, some calculations prove the the rise in the fee is essential

E wins

If students not from Markland accounted for 66% (2/3) and were paying for exmpl 100,000 in total for tuition and now they account for 40% and pay the same amount of money than tuition was supposed to increase.

66 people were paying 100,000 and now 40 people are paying the same amount of money...


Hope this helps.
