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.
