Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$1998$

The percentages of candidates selected from U.P. over those qualified from U.P. during different years are:
For $1997=(\frac{78}{720}\times 100)$% $=10.83$%.
For $1998=(\frac{85}{620}\times 100)$% $=13.71$%.
For $1999=(\frac{48}{400}\times 100)$% $=12$%.
For $2000=(\frac{70}{650}\times 100)$% $=10.77$%.
For $2001=(\frac{80}{950}\times 100)$% $=8.42$%.
Clearly, this percentage is highest for the year $1998$.
