defective bulbs

[maihuna]

A light bulb company produces 2,000 light bulbs per week. The manager wants to ensure that standards of quality remain constant from week to week. The manager, therefore, suggests that the company reject 500 of the 2,000 light bulbs it produces each week.

Of the following, the best criticism of the manager’s plan is that the plan assumes that


light bulb manufacturers cannot market every light bulb that they produce

the overall quality of the light bulbs would not be improved if the total number of light bulbs produced were reduced

each light bulb that is reviewed is worthy of being reviewed

it is difficult to judge the quality of a light bulb

the 1,500 light bulbs that are accepted will be of the same quality from week to week

B and E come close and I'd go with E

In order to maintain consistent quality 500 of 2000 bulbs to be rejected -> assumption is that the remaining 1500 are of consistent quality.

Pradeep,

E should not be the answer since it supports the manager's plan rather than criticise it

[gg1]

D should be the answer.

OA pls..

[maihuna]

OA is E. BTW, D is far away from being an correct option, as it says that quality of buld cannt be judged which neither has to do anything with premise or new information.

B and E seem close to be true
B is wrong because it just restates the premise. "Overall quality" = 1500 + 500, thus I c no changes in comparison with premise=2000 bulbs a week.
E-wins

I think E is the right answer
