If the number of students passing a test be considered a criterion for comparison of difficulty level of two tests, then mid-semester test of which of the following programs was the least difficult?
AB.A.
BB.Sc.
CB.Com.
DB.B.A. ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) B.B.A.
Explanation
Take the number passing the mid-semester test as the measure: the third row (passed mid, failed end) plus the last row (passed both). Counts are B.A. = 6 + 64 = 70, B.Sc. = 72, B.Com. = 55, B.B.A. = 91. The most students passed in B.B.A., so its mid-semester test was the least difficult.
