What is the difference (in thousands) between the students placed in all companies in the year 2014 and 2012?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 8200.
Number of students placed in 2012 = 12.6 + 9.8 + 10.4 + 14.9 + 9.8 = 57.5
Number of students placed in 2014 = 19.3 + 13.4 + 13.4 + 11.8 + 7.8 = 65.7
Required difference = 65.7 - 57.5 = 8.2 = 8200
