................Before........After
Korvo........30...............40

Mitro.........30................30

Guadar.....40...............130

Total.........100.............200

As you can see even though Korvo's population increased, it's share of the total went down even though Guadar is the only other country that has experienced an increase.

What if the scenario is something like this ?

................Before........After
Korvo........30...............70

Mitro.........30................10

Guadar.....40...............120

Total.........100.............200

Even though the criteria is satisfied (that atleast one of the region's population has increased) Korvo's percentage has increased.

For once even I was confused with D, but I was more than sure that E was a better choice..
and rightly as kevin pointed out... I confused between numbers and percentages...

Ankit Bhai... even with the senario you point out.... E suffices..."Korva's population grew by a smaller percentage than did the population of at least one of the other two autonomous regions."

excellent question

Hi everyone. I know this is an old post and that the OE is E, but i still have some doubts. Please explain.

What about if our analysis goes this way:



It would prove that if just one of the other regions grows by a greater percentage than Korva did, Korva would not always have a decreased share of population. Please your help.

Thanks in advanced
