Try to prove (D). Start by constructing two scenarios for “A university contains French majors and Spanish majors in a 5 to 7 ratio.” For the first scenario, use the smallest possible values: five French majors and seven Spanish majors. For the second scenario, use much larger (but still easy to work with) numbers: 500 French majors and 700 Spanish majors.
D is the answer
