A private bus

Expert replies
by arorag » Sun Sep 20, 2009 4:17 pm
A private bus company gained greater profits and provided bus service to the area at lower fares by running buses more frequently and stimulating greater ridership. Hoping to continue these financial trends, the company plans to replace all older buses with new, larger buses, including some double-decker buses,.
The plan of the bus company as described above assumes all of the following EXCEPT
(A) the demand for bus service in the company’s area of service will increase in the future
(B) increased efficiency and revenues will compensate for any new expenses the company incurs
(C) the new buses will be sufficiently reliable to ensure the company a net financial gain once they are in place
(D) driving the new buses will be no more difficult than driving the buses they are to replace
(E) the larger, double-decker buses will not face obstacles such as height and weight restrictions in the bus company’s area of service

Difficulty in driving doesn't effect the financially.

I will go with B.

D and E both are not related to financial performance. B says talks about any future expenses? very unclear? they cannot expect any future expenses to be taken care of automatically by the buses.

- has no impact on financial trends. If we need to fit this as an assumption, we need to assume further that coz it will be more difficult to drive, drivers will not be able to drive safe and there will be less ridership etc..

IMO - B should not be the answer because it mentions about profits.

It's between D and E. I'll go for 'D' because the driving problems are nowhere mentioned in the argument.

Someody please help ;

What is Wrong with Option (E).

E - also says that this will not impact financially, and the obstacles are not mentioned in the passage.


How do we best solve these types of questions ?

If E were not to be True, the company would no longer be able to operate in the area where it is currently operating
