Discussion
A poll of students appearing for masters in engineering indicated that 60 % of the students believed that mechanical engineering is a profession unsuitable for women. A research study on women with masters or higher degrees in mechanical engineering found that 99 % of such women were successful in their professions.
Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above paragraph?
Answer: C
The inference that follows is Mechanical engineering is a profession well suited for women with masters or higher degrees in mechanical engineering.
The research study found that 99% of women with masters or higher degrees in mechanical engineering were successful in their professions. That directly supports the claim that the profession suits such women, which also contradicts the belief held by 60% of the students polled.
The other options go beyond the paragraph. It shows a mistaken belief about one discipline, not misconceptions about 'various' disciplines. It says nothing about what men with advanced degrees believe, and nothing about how many women pursue such degrees.
