A greater number of cars are sold in Town P than in Town Q. Therefore, the citizens of Town P spend more time driving their cars, per capita, than do the citizens of Town Q.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion above EXCEPT:
A.Town P has a larger population than Town Q.
B.Most citizens of Town Q work in Town P and buy their cars there.
C.Many residents of Town P purchase second cars that they use only rarely.
D.Most drivers from Town P tend to drive only during the day, and only within the city limits of TownP.
E.The average price of cars sold in Town P is lower than the average price of cars sold in Town Q.
Can anyone explain me the answer..I am not finding any of the choices correct.
According to my understanding of the argument the number of cars sold in town P is more than the number of cars sold in town Q as people in town P spent more time in driving than people in town Q.
Premise : the number of cars sold in town P is more than the number of cars sold in town Q
Conclusion : people in town P spent more time in driving than people in town Q
We have to find choices which support the conclusion.
A)Town P has a larger population than Town Q:- there is more sale of car in town P not due to time but due to higher population in town P.This weaken the conclusion instead of support. Not Correct.
B)Most citizens of Town Q work in Town P and buy their cars there:- so there is more sale in town P than town Q. Therefore not for time there is more sale in town P than town Q.This weaken the conclusion instead of support. Not Correct.
c)Many residents of Town P purchase second cars that they use only rarely.:- so people in town P do not spent much time in driving.This weaken the conclusion instead of support. Not Correct.
D)Most drivers from Town P tend to drive only during the day, and only within the city limits of TownP.:- so town P spends less time in driving.This weaken the conclusion instead of support. Not Correct.
E)The average price of cars sold in Town P is lower than the average price of cars sold in Town Q.:- town p people buy more number of car than town Q as the average price of car in town P is less than the average price of car in town Q. So not for more time spent by people in town P than people in town Q. This weaken the conclusion instead of support. Not Correct.
