So in 1999 ratio was \(\frac{1}{5}\) we need to find the ratio in 2003
(1) Company G received 20,000 more MBA applicants in 2003 than in 1999.
No info. about the Doctorate people.
INSUFF.
(2)Company G received 2,000 more Ph.D. applicants in 2003 than in 1999.
No info. about the Ph.D. applicants
INSUFF.
1+ 2
Let in 1999 Doctorate degree holders be 1 and MBA degree holders be 5 then in 2003
\(\frac{2001}{20005}\)
Let in 1999 Doctorate degree holders be 2 and MBA degree holders be 10 then in 2003
\(\frac{2002}{20010}\)
Hence INSUFF.

Hope it's clear.
