400

number of applicants in 1982 was below 600 and the number in1991 was above 1,200. Statement II is false because there are threeyears in which the number of applicants decreased from that of the

200

previous year, namely 1984, 1987, and 1991. Statement III cannotbe inferred from the graph because the graph shows only the num-

0

ber of applicants and gives no information about the number of stu-

1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991
