Answer:

Division A

Explanation:

Suppose last year's revenue for the company was 100 units.

Last year's Division A revenue was 0.60×100 = 60. This year's revenue is 1-35% = 65% of last year's, so is ...

60 × 0.65 = 39 . . . . units

__

Last year's Division B revenue was 0.40×100 = 40. This year's revenue is 1-5% = 95% of last year's, so is ...

40 × 0.95 = 38 . . . . units

__

At 39 units this year, Division A still has the higher revenue than Division B at 38 units.
