GMATPrep - 2:Q-17: Migrane - common and classical

Expert replies

17.
Among people who experience migraine headache, some experience what doctors call “common” migraine whereas other experience “classical” migraines. Sibling & spouses of common migraine suffers are themselves twice as likely as the general population to common migraine. Siblings of classical migraine suffers are four times more likely than the general population to experience classical migraine, whereas spouses of classical migraine sufferers no more likely than the general population to experience such headache.

The information above provides the most support for which of the following hypothesis?

(A) Susceptibility to classical migraines is more dependent on hereditary factors than is susceptibility to common migraines.

(B) Unmarried adults are more likely to suffer from classical migraines than they are to suffer from common migraines.

(C) People who do not experience migraines headaches are unlikely to have spouses who are migraines headache suffer.

(D) Children of people who have suffered from common migraines are not likely than the general population to experience a common migraine.

(E) Between one quarter & one half of the general population suffers from either common or classical migraine headache.
Guys again I also got confused with the statistical data. I chose B. The OA is A. Why A and how?
Correct me If I am wrong

This has deduction written all over it. Let's start with a summary:

Common migraines - siblings and spouses of suffers 2x as likely to suffer.
Classical migraines - siblings are 4x as likely to suffer; spouses - no effect.

(A) Susceptibility to classical migraines is more dependent on hereditary factors than is susceptibility to common migraines.

You can infer that classical is passed down through the family b/c there is no effect on the spouses.

(B) Unmarried adults are more likely to suffer from classical migraines than they are to suffer from common migraines.

Eliminate - This is a different set of people..."unmarried adults". Therefore, out of scope.

(C) People who do not experience migraines headaches are unlikely to have spouses who are migraines headache suffer.

Eliminate - This is a different set of people... "people who do not experience"

(D) Children of people who have suffered from common migraines are not likely than the general population to experience a common migraine.

Eliminate for 2 reasons. (1) Children? We're talking about "siblings and spouses" and (2) This can be argued that it goes against the stimulus. People in the family are MORE likely to be affected. I would disregard (2) simply because its out of scope.

(E) Between one quarter & one half of the general population suffers from either common or classical migraine headache.

Eliminate: This is a fact statement. This has no effect on the stimulus whatsoever.

Hope this helps! :P

Answer A seems to be logical one out of other answer choices
