Question

Ross and Rachel both apply to be firefighters. Ross is able to pass all of the physical tests, including the test requiring the applicant to carry a 400-pound dummy over the shoulder. Rachel passes all tests but the 400-pound dummy test; in fact, none of the female applicants are able to pass the test. However, the female applicants pass all the other tests and there are no residents in their city who weigh more than 300 pounds.
