lets break down the argument..
Two types of films - Drama (D) and Comedy(C).......
Two regions- Foreign(F) and Domestic/Local(L)...............More movies compete in D, but D has a lower acceptance rate -\(\frac{accepted}{Total}\)....
L had a higher acceptance rate than F..
and Both L and F had same Acceptance Rate(AR) across the D and C that is AR of \(L_D\)= AR of \(F_D\) and AR of\(L_C\) = AR of \(F_C\)...
MAIN point - We are talking of RATE and NOT numbers..
Our conclusion has to be talking of RATIO. We cannot comment on NumbersWe have to find the conclusion?
Lets see the statements-
A. significantly fewer foreign films than domestic films were accepted
We are discussing on acceptance rate and NOT numbersB. a higher proportion of the foreign than of the domestic films submitted were submitted as dramas
Yes, here the conclusion is talking of ratio ..
lets work on the statement: Since the acceptance ratio is same for both across D and C, If both had equal numbers in both, the acceptance rate would be the SAME for both.
AR of \(L_D\)= AR of \(F_D\) and AR of\(L_C\) = AR of \(F_C\)......But AR of C>AR of D...
so the proportion of F in D has to be more to have a lesser ARC. the rate of acceptance of foreign films submitted was the same for dramas as it was for comedies
We require to compare between L and F and NOT just \(F_D\) and \(F_C\)D. the majority of the domestic films submitted were submitted as comedies
Again we are talking of numbers and not ratioE. the majority of the foreign films submitted were submitted as dramas
Again we are talking of numbers and not ratioAnswer: B
