How to resolve such questions quickly when the details areso confusing especially the verbatim?

q: of 3000 cars manufactured in factory Q last year, how many were still in operation at the end of the year?

1) of all cars manufactured in Factory Q, 60% were still in operation at the end of year
2) A total of 48,000 cars manufactured in Factory Q were still in operation at the end of last year.

I STRONGLY believe that this question stem just talks about last year and not about end of the year.

What should be the take-away?
Want to Beat GMAT.
Always do what you're afraid to do. Whoooop GMAT

Where are you getting these questions from? The wording is very tricky and makes things ambiguous. From what I've seen of official GMAT questions they aren't usually like this. But I may have just never seen one.
