transmission companies!

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

For the past several years, a certain technology has been widely used to transmit data among networked computers. Recently two data transmission companies, Aptron and Gammatech, have each developed separate systems that allow network data transmission at rates ten times faster than the current technology allows. Although the systems are similarly priced and are equally easy to use, Aptron's product is likely to dominate the market, because __________.

(A) Gammatech has been in the business of designing data transmission systems for several years more than Aptron has
(B) the number of small businesses that need computer networking systems is likely to double over the next few years
(C) it is much more likely that Gammatech's system will be expandable to meet future needs
(D) unlike many data transmission companies, Aptron and Gammatech develop computers in addition to data transmission systems
(E) it is easier for users of the current data transmission technology to switch to Aptron's product than to Gammatech's

[spoiler]OA: E[/spoiler]

Here option E is only in favour of Apron. so the ans

Passage clearly states that "the systems are similarly priced and are equally easy to use, Aptron's product is likely to dominate the market,"
Though both have similiar features,Aptron's is likely to dominate,why?
If you check options 1 by 1, E gives an edge over Gammatech
Hence E

For these type of questions,we need to select the answer that is in favour of argument and the conclusion is valid.

Here 2 companies are compared.Both have same technology and same use.
But only one company dominate the market.Why?

We need to find the reason why other company can't dominate the market?

A. Even gammatech has been in business for several years,both companies have similar technology.Also this option supports the reason that aptron is not superior.Not correct.

B.Small business is irrelevant to passage.Not correct.

C. currect use only is relevant.Not correct.

D.computer technology is irrelevant to passage.Not correct.

E.This option clearly states that the advantage of aptron over gammatech product.When this option fits into the passage,the conclusion is valid.

Hope this clarify.
