For a ten-month period, the total monthly sales of new cars within the country of Calistan remained constant. During this period the monthly sales of new cars manufactured by Marvel Automobile Company doubled, and its share of the new car market within Calistan increased correspondingly. At the end of this period, emission standards were imposed on new cars sold within Calistan. During the three months following this imposition, Marvel Automobile Company's share of the Calistan market declined substantially even though its monthly sales within Calistan
remained constant at the level reached in the last month of the ten-month period.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following CANNOT be true?
(A) The total monthly sales within Calistan of new cars by companies other than Marvel Automobile Company decreased over the three months following the imposition of the emission standards.
(B) Over the three months before the imposition of the emission standards, the combined market share of companies other than Marvel Automobile Company selling new cars in Calistan decreased.
(C) If the emission standards had not been imposed, Marvel Automobile Company would have lost an even larger share of the number of new cars sold in Calistan than, in fact, it did.
(D) A decrease in the total monthly sales of new cars within Calistan will occur if the emission standards remain in effect.
(E) Since the imposition of the emission standards, Marvel Automobile Company's average profit on each new car sold within Calistan has increased.
The OA is A.
Trust me guyzzz this question will make you ready to for a new type of question in the GMAT i.e the Must Not Be True Question Type. Just the way you have an Inference or a Must Be True question, you also have a Must Not Be True or Cannot BE True Question.
There are two ways to solve this type...
1] i.e negate each and every option and there will be 4 answer choices that will be true or infer something and 1 type will not or will not infer completely. But in that the 4 options should infer something strongly just the way you find in an inference question.
2] is that, the you are not sure about the 4 options i.e whether you can infer them or no because they genuinely must be out of scope, but you can surely and very clearly not infer a particular option or an answer choice. Just the way you get 1 answer choice independently as inferring something, in the same way you get 1 choice that simply cannot be inferred from the stimulus given.
Hence the correct here is option A. This is the Numbers and Percentages question. Solve the overall question using numbers and you will find that the option A is simply not possible even though you are not sure about the other 4 options, i.e whether you can infer them or no is not known.
This question will really help you guyzzzxzzzzz for the future difficult questions on the GMAT>\
Hope this helps!!!!! Thank You...
