Candidates in a competitive examination consisted of 60% men and 40% women 70% men and 75% women cleared the qualifying test and entered the final test where 80% men and 70% women were successful? Which of the following statements is correct?

A. Success rate is higher for women
B. Overall success rate is below 50%
C. More men cleared the examination than women
D. Both ‘A’ and ‘B’
Explanation:
Let there are 100 persons in which 60 men and 40 women number of men who cleared the qualifying test
= 70 x 60/100 = 42
Number of women who cleared the qualifying test
= 40 x ¾ = 30
Number of men who get success in final test
= 42 x 4/5 = 33.6
Number of women who get success in final test
= 30 x 70/100 = 21
Hence more men cleared the examination than a woman.
