Representation in a local community board is based on the community’s population, with 25 board members representing the first 500,000 people, and each additional board member representing an additional 30,000 people. Is the population of the town less than 500,000?
(1) There were 23 members on the community board.
(2) If the population were three times as large, the community board would have had 51 members.
Is it wrong to assume that within the 'scope of' the question the number 23 doesnt give any relevant information ?
i.e Can i or should i assume if there are n<25 people in the community then only its possible that there are n<25 people on the board.. but in all generality for 500,000 >= n >= 25 there will be 25 board members.
