Answer
Exam answer
(d) Z.
Explanation
Apply the qualifications one by one. A candidate must be at least 35 years old, so X (25) and Y (34) are out — Y is the trap, being only one year short. There is no upper age limit, so Z at 69 is perfectly eligible. W is 30, and doubly disqualified: he is under 35 AND he holds an office of profit under the Government, which a candidate must not. Z, a RETIRED professor, holds no office of profit — the word "retired" is deliberate.
In words
Z.
