• A. 2004
• B. 2005
• C. 2006
• D. 2007
• E. 2008

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2005

Unsuccessful candidates (school B)
Year $2004\Rightarrow 445-354=91$
Year $2005\Rightarrow 545-435=110$
Year $2006\Rightarrow 664-454=210$
Year $2007\Rightarrow 345-144=201$
Year $2008\Rightarrow 584-354=230$
Year $2009\Rightarrow 704-347=357$
Hence, the difference is second lowest in the year 2005.
