Finding of a survey of Systems magazine subscribers: Thirty percent of all merchandise
orders placed by subscribers in response to advertisements in the magazine last year were
placed by subscribers under age thirty-five.
Finding of a survey of advertisers in Systems magazine: Most of the merchandise orders
placed in response to advertisements in Systems last year were placed by people under
age thirty-five.
For both of the findings to be accurate, which of the following must be true?
A. More subscribers to Systems who have never ordered merchandise in response to
advertisements in the magazine are age thirty-five or over than are under age
thirty-five.
B. Among subscribers to Systems, the proportion who are under age thirty-five was
considerably lower last year than it is now.
C. Most merchandise orders placed in response to advertisements in Systems last
year were placed by Systems subscribers over age thirty-five.
D. Last year, the average dollar amount of merchandise orders placed was less for
subscribers under age thirty-five than for those age thirty-five or over.
E. Last year many people who placed orders for merchandise in response to
advertisements in Systems were not subscribers to the magazine.

jsasipriya,

It would be easy if u format the question properly.



30% merchandise orders-->subscribers under age 35

Most of the merchandise orders-->Placed by people under age 35

From the above 2 arguments ,u can infer that remaining 70% merchandise orders [most of merchandise orders]
are placed by people who are non subscribers.

Only option E support this.

Pick E

I was puzzled by A and E. I had hard time in eliminating A, but I could find why E is correct.

30% orders by subscribers under 35
Most of the orders by people under 35. (min MOST 51%)

From these 2, we can infer that even if this 30% is a subset of MOST, we have at least 21% people under 35 who ordered but were not the subscribers.

21% can be said MANY (MANY is anything from 1 to 99)

I am not sure whether we can eliminate A on the basis of omission of the word LAST YEAR.

both the findings and surveys were conducted last year, but A does mention LAST year.
