Hey mate, To know whether (r^5)(S^3)(t^4) is negative, we need to know what kind of numbers 's' and 'r' are. 't' doesn't matter since it is to the power 4 and hence it is always positive. Statement 1 says 'rt' is negative. It implies either 'r' or 't' is negative. As we don't know which one of them ...

'A' number of students. 'The' number is preferable.
And, ya. It needs a present progressive tense. 'Since' makes that mandatory

Sorry mate,
My bad. Just realized my mistake.
Assume men = x and women = y.
Hence,
72% of x + 80% of y = 75 % of (x+y)
=> 72x + 80y = 75x + 75y
=> x/y = 5/3
=> x/(x+y) = 5/8.
Hence, B is the answer.
And apologies for giving the wrong explanation earlier

IMO C 1) talks about the total number of students in the class. It doesn't lead to any concrete solution. 2) gives the % of students as a whole. Assuming the total number of male students to be x and total number of students to be y , we can arrive at the following equation: 72% of x + 80% of (y-x) ...

Hi Imsukhi,
Is there any info regarding the total number of students who participated in the survey? That's the missing link in my solution.

I can't assure you, but I feel it's redundant.
You are already specifying whom you are referring to by the usage of 'who'. So, that makes the usage of those redundant.
