No. “Another college” simply means any college other than the certain college in the stem.

Hi kaustubhkohli12,
Good catch to pause on the wording, but the question is not about the other college at all. Let me untangle the two colleges that are floating around.
Everybody in this problem is a graduating student at the one "certain college." That single group is your total: m males + f females. The question just wants m / (m + f) - the male fraction of that graduating class.
So where does "another college" come from? It's only a label on part of that same group. Some of these graduating students happen to have arrived here by transferring in from somewhere else earlier. They still graduate from the certain college - they're still inside m and f. "Transferred from another college" describes how they got here, not a separate school we're measuring.
That's why the statements aren't switching the subject:
- Statement (1): of the certain college's graduates, 33% of the males and 20% of the females are transfer-ins - 0.33m + 0.20f transfer students.
- Statement (2):25% of all the certain college's graduates are transfer-ins - 0.25(m + f).
Both describe the same transfer group two different ways, so you set them equal and solve for the ratio - landing at m/(m+f) = 5/13.
A quick parallel to lock it in: imagine a class of 30 kids. "20% of the kids wear glasses" doesn't make the question about glasses shops - it just tags a slice of the same 30 kids. Here, "transferred from another college" tags a slice of the same graduating class.
So you never leave the certain college. The other college is just the origin story of some students, not what you're counting.
Answer: C
