Statement 1: More tourists stay in hotels in Springfield than stay in the neighboring city of Harristown

Statement 2: more tourists stay in largest hotel in Harringstown than stay in the Royal Arms Hotel in Springfield

If both above are true, then Royal Arms Hotel cannot be the only hotel
in Springfield (as it would violate Statement 1).

B for me

Premise 1: Tourists in Springfield > Tourists in Harristown
Premise 2: Tourists in Largest hotel in Harristown > Tourists in Royal Arms Hotel in Springfield
Premise 3: Both are true
Paradox: my expected answer is that the there're more hotels larger than Royal Arms Hotel in Springfield in order to make the total number of Touriests in Springfield > No of Touriest in Harristown.
Therefore, C is my answer
