Of the 1,000 students who entered College X as freshmen in September 1979,112 did not graduate in May 1983. If 962 students graduated in May 1983, how many of the graduates did not enter College X as freshmen in September 1979?
(A) 38
(B) 74
(C) 112
(D) 150
(E) 188
I am getting 80 as answer however the answer is not there in the options. Am i wrong somewhere?
My Appraoch-
total student 1000.
Not graduated 112
So total garduated out of the freshmen entered--> 1000-112=882
The actual gradute in 1983=> 962,
So additional graduates who may not have joined as freshmen => 962-882=80.
Correct me if my approach is wrong.
