We need to be sure when we say any of the following.

Pre-thinking: What are we sure about? The number of departments of the Faculty of Business studies is less than number of departments of the Science Faculty of Dhaka University.

A. We cannot draw any conclusion. Revisit this after I check options... This is my answer
B. Total number of students in both the faculties will be equal. Let's assume Faculty of Business has 15 students and Science Faculty of Dhaka University has 10 students. the dropped department has 4. The number of student's still isn't equal
C. Total number of students of the Faculty of Business Studies is greater than the total number of students of the Science Faculty. We don't know. Let's assume Faculty of Business has 12 students and Science Faculty of Dhaka University has 10 students. the dropped department has 4. The number of student's doesn't remain greater
D. Total number of students of the Science Faculty will still be greater than the total number of students of the Faculty of Business Studies. The part is bold seems incorrect. The Science faculty never had more students, it just had more departments. Ignoring the still, analyzing the argument, let's assume Faculty of Business has 12 students and Science Faculty of Dhaka University has 10 students. the dropped department has 1. The statement doesn't satisfy
E. Total number of students of the Science Faculty is slightly less than the total number of students of the Faculty of Business Studies. We don't know. Let's assume Faculty of Business has 12 students and Science Faculty of Dhaka University has 10 students. the dropped department has 1. The statement doesn't satisfy

Total number of students of 5 departments of the Faculty of Business studies is greater than total number of students of 6 departments of the Science Faculty of Dhaka University.

What can we say if one of the departments is dropped from the faculty of Business Studies?

A. We cannot draw any conclusion.
B. Total number of students in both the faculties will be equal.
C. Total number of students of the Faculty of Business Studies is gerater than the total number of students of the Science Faculty.
D. Total number of students of the Science Faculty will still be greater than the total number of students of the Faculty of Business Studies.
E. Total number of students of the Science Faculty is slightly less than the total number of students of the Faculty of Business Studies.
