This record demonstrates that the judge has not discriminated against women in cases of GMAT discrimination against women.
The argument above is flawed in that it ignores the possibility that

(A) a large number of the judge's cases arose out of allegations of GMAT discrimination against women
(B) many judges find it difficult to be objective in cases of GMAT discrimination against women
(C) the judge is biased against women defendants or plaintiffs in cases that do not involve GMAT discrimination
(D) the majority of the cases of GMAT discrimination against women that have reached the judge's court have been appealed from a lower court
(E) the evidence shows that the women should have won in more than sixty percent of the judge's cases involving GMAT discrimination against women

Please explain the question with your answers.
Thanks in advance!!

OA is E

we are more concerned about..in how many of these discrimination cases judge showed bias but not about how many cases of discrimination cases came to him.

(B) many judges find it difficult to be objective in cases of GMAT discrimination against women

This gives a vague statement about many judges in general, but doesn't provide a flaw to break the stem.

(C) the judge is biased against women defendants or plaintiffs in cases that do not involve GMAT discrimination

in cases that do not invoolve GMAT discrimination is out of scope.

(D) the majority of the cases of GMAT discrimination against women that have reached the judge's court have been appealed from a lower court

so what, we are more concerned with how this judge handled discrimination cases against women whether with bias or not? hence not a flaw.

(E) the evidence shows that the women should have won in more than sixty percent of the judge's cases involving GMAT discrimination against women

correct:in more than sixty percent cases women should have won if judge has given an unbiased judgement. this shows judge is showing discrmination against women. hence the conclusion that judge didn't showed discrimination against women is flawed.
