In which year was the number of absentees the second highest in the total of all centers?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 2019.

Total number of candidates absent in all centers in 2016 = 156 - 137 = 19

Total number of candidates absent in all centers in 2017 = 170 - 140 = 30

Total number of candidates absent in all centers in 2018 = 194 - 160 = 34

Total number of candidates absent in all centers in 2019 = 234 - 203 = 31

Total number of candidates absent in all centers in 2020 = 225 - 195 = 30

Hence, the number of absentees the second highest in total of all centres is in the year 2019.
