How many undergraduate degrees were awarded to women and men respectively at the graduation ceremony addressed by the Vice-President?

  1. A.32 women and 60 men
  2. B.45 women and 45 men
  3. C.60 women and 32 men
  4. D.52 women and 40 men

Correct answer

C. 60 women and 32 men

Explanation

The correct answer is 60 women and 32 men. The Vice-President gave these numbers while noting a change he has observed at convocations around the country, namely that women now take home more degrees and medals than men. At the same ceremony 5 women and 2 men received postgraduate degrees, and he called the pattern a welcome development. Option A simply reverses the two figures and is therefore wrong, since it is the women who are in the larger group. Option B is wrong because the split was not equal between the two. Option D is wrong because neither of the numbers it gives matches what was stated. Candidates should keep both sets together in memory, the undergraduate split of 60 and 32 and the postgraduate split of 5 and 2, since a question may ask for either level of the ceremony.
