A total of 774 doctorates in mathematics were granted to United States citizens by American universities in the 1972-1973 school year, and W of these doctorates were granted to women. The total of such doctorates in the 1986-1987 school year was 362, and w of these were granted to women. If the number of doctorates in mathematics granted to female citizens of the United States by American universities decreased from the 1972-1973 school year to the 1986-1987 school year, was the decrease less than 10 percent?
(A) 1/10 < W/774 < 1/9
(B) W = w + 5
1. statement (A) alone is sufficient but statement (B) alone is not
2. statement (B) alone is sufficient but statement (A) alone is not
3. both (A) and (B) together are sufficient but none of them alone is sufficient
4. both statements are sufficient independently
5. both (A) and (B) together are not sufficient
Please provide ur answer with the explanation..thanks in advance
