The answer is B.
DC is the mandatory pair, which makes 3 and 4 incorrect. E is the opening statement. A concludes the argument by substantiating the argument in EBDC.
Therefore, the analogy from the previous argument is being extended in 'A' (keyword – “similarly”)

A. Similarly, turning to caste, even though being lower caste is undoubtedly a separate cause of disparity, its impact is all the greater when the lower-caste families also happen to be poor.
B. Belonging to a privileged class can help a woman to overcome many barriers that obstruct
women from less thriving classes.
C. It is the interactive presence of these two kinds of deprivation €“ being low class and being female €“ that massively impoverishes women from the less privileged classes.
D. A congruence of class deprivation and gender discrimination can blight the lives of poorer women very severely.
E. Gender is certainly a contributor to societal inequality, but it does not act independently of
class.

A. What identity is thus 'defined by contrast', divergence with the West becomes central.
B. Indian religious literature such as the Bhagavad Gita or the Tantric texts, which are identified as differing from secular writings seen as 'western', elicits much greater interest in the West than do other Indian writings, including India's long history of heterodoxy.
C. There is a similar neglect of Indian writing on non-religious subjects, from mathematics, epistemology and natural science to economics and linguistics.
D. Through selective emphasis that point up differences with the West, other civilizations can, in this way, be redefined in alien terms, which can be exotic and charming, or else bizarre and
terrifying, or simply strange and engaging.
E. The exception is the Kamasutra in which western readers have managed to cultivate an interest.

You can take f(x) = x^(1/x) .. g(x) = log(f(x)) = 1/x * log(x) ..

Look at the nature of g(x) with respect to x, increasing or decreasing.. the same nature will be of f(x) ... I am not sure though..

By this, 5^(1/5) > 6^(1/6) ... So, the reverse of that should be the answer ?

ye kya kar diya??? meko ye logic nhi palle pad rha hai!!
i used dat
d more higher root u take, u go closer to 1
ie a^1/2 > a^1/20 n a^1/20 is more closer to 1
so ratio ko max karna hai to highest power lo

Isme tumhara base of the power same hai naa.. Idhar question me to base alag hai powers ka .. 5,6,7,8 ! ..
