In the year 2021, the number of female candidates who qualified is more than 5000 in exactly how many states?
Only two states cross 5000, so the answer is two.
Female qualifiers in 2021 use the 2021 total of 142000 and 45% qualifying rate.
For state A the female count is about 5112, which is above 5000.
For state E the female count is about 7668, which is above 5000.
For states B, C, D and F the female counts are 2556, 3195, 4686 and 923 respectively, all below 5000.
So only states A and E exceed 5000 female qualifiers.
That makes exactly two states, so the answer is two.
