Critical Reasoning Problem - need help

Dear All,

Can any of the experts on this forum please help explain the answer to this problem for me?

Q. China wants to avoid financial collapse of their economy. In order to do this, China must raise their gross national product rate by 33%. China's economy is structured so that if the 33% increase in GNP is reached, than it is possible for a 50% GNP increase.

Of the following statements listed below, which one must be true if we are to assume the above statements are also true?

A. China's economy will fall, if China's 50% increase in GNP is unattainable.
B. China's GNP will not have a 50% increase, if its economy falls.
C. The economy of China will not fall, if it can obtain an increased GNP of 50%.
D. A 17% GNP increase will be unattainable, if China continues to suffer national conflict.
E. A 71% increase is possible, if the 33% brink is achieved, and the 50% GNP increase is attainable.

A is the right answer - I picked B which is incorrect. Killer 1387: can you please explain why you picked A over B or even C.

IMO, B and C are not correct choices because the information given in B and C are already explicitly mentioned in the parent argument.

D & E are out of context and can be ruled out immediately.

A is inferred from the above statements. If 33% increase can be attained then 50% increase can be attained, which implies that if 50% increase is unattainable then 33% will also be unattainable leading to collapse of the economy.

So, IMO it is A as well.

Hope this is the correct explanation.
