Critical Reasoning

OA after some discussion

I will go with choice D.

We would wanna know about the specifics of base crime rate before concluding that the residents of Meadowbrook are more prone to voilent crimes than the residents of Parkdale.

How about the change in population ?

Agreed - choice B is the best one here.

Crime rate-- Meadow--- 60 percent year than 4 years
corresponding parkdale is 10 percent
so meadow brokes become victims??

premise1--> increase of 60 percent from wat point ! wat was the percentage rate four years back??

pop of meadow > parkadae???

10 percent increase from wat point ?

was parkdale already higher than meadpow before increase??


First round

a--consider
brate of growth is not needed.... we know /1000 so density might be enuf---wrong
c-- no
d--consider
e-- expenses might not refelct-- wrong

Second round Between A amd D

Now D i seee they are comparing wat happ four years ago ... for both the city this will tell wat we looking for ....

IMO D
vishu

Excellent work Vishubn...OA is D

I was between A and D as well... can you explain why it's not A? Wouldn't you need to know what the populations are in order go gauge whether the crime rate percentage was accurately proportional?

In my opinion D is the best
