5 Women -- 7 Men

You have to choose 3W and 1M.

You can choose 3W from 5W in (5 choose 3) ways = 5!/3!2! = 10 ways

You can choose 1 man from 7 men in 7 ways.

So you have 10*7 = 70 ways to choose.

Small correction to previous post,

CORRECT: (a^2 - b^2) = (a+b)(a-b)

WRONG: (a-b)^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

Yes, A is correct.

A line with positive slope passes through Q1 and Q3

A line with negative slope passes though Q2 and Q4

Examples shown in the attached image.

B is insufficient, a line with y intercept -6 can pass through Q1, Q3,Q4 OR Q2, Q3, Q4 OR may be parallel to X-axis

A&B Wrong -- "it" doesn't agree with plural "homes"
C Wrong -- "making them while not having", here 'them" refers to settlers (we are making houses not settlers).
D -- Correct
E Wrong-- Here subject is "Homes". Homes making ... doesn't make sense
