I would say its B.
In 1966 the Uni filled 92% of capacity. In 1967 this number became 99%.
The % of new students put into the system reduced b/w the 2 years --- the capacity utilization could only be increased with a reduction in the size of the overall pie

that is what "one element sets" should mean... the number is its own mean. Here we can rules out B coz if set s and set t have only zeros... then stem 2 is disproved... you get Y if sets S and T have only +ve numbers and a N if sets S and T are made up of only zeros. As regards A it gets d...

Congrats Eli!
Would be great if the book owners can also get the the benefit of the updated alogrithm someday by corresponding updates made to the online CATs.. The changes may be minor but why not have all platforms at the same level? Thats what I feel, anyway...
Thanks again.
