Here,
Let's take 400 as the total number of students, as it is easily cancels out by 8 and 50 to give an integer value
i.e No of sophomores = \(400 * \frac{3}{8} = 150\)
No. of biology major = \(400 * \frac{1}{50} = 8\)
Now, check out the answer options, divide each option by 400 and any option have an integer value is/are the answer/s
Only A and F give out an integer value and could be the total no. of students enrolled.

When 7000 is divided by 400 you don't get an integer
