Critical Reasoning

umeshpatil wrote:Hello GMAT crackers,

Critical reasoning questions can be easily solved when we understand, why four options are wrong than one option is correct. This is because; all options create illusion of being correct.

So, your answer should include why four options are wrong rather than just answering the Question option.



The new law gives the ownership of patents - documents providing exclusive right to make and sell an invention- to universities, not the government, when those patents result from government- sponsored university research. Administrators at Logos University plan to sell any patents they acquire to corporations in order to fund programs to improve undergraduate teaching.

Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the viability of the college administrators' plan described above?

a)Profit making corporations interested in developing products based on patents held by universities are likely to try to serve as exclusive sponsors of ongoing university research projects?
b) Corporate sponsors of research in university facilities are entitled to tax credits under new federal tax-code guidelines.
c) Research scientists at Logos University have few or no teaching responsibilities and participate little if at all in the undergraduate programs in their field.
d) Government-sponsored research conducted at Logos University for the most part duplicates research already completed by several profit-making corporations.
e) Logos University is unlikely to attract corporate sponsorships of its scientific research.

I guess this is an OG question, if I am not wrong. It is advisable not to use the OG questions with out prior permission. Just a small suggestion.
