I answered correctly, but couldn't find the exact right answer, though I was sure about wrongness of the other 4 answers. I can't justify why C is right C, however I can strongly justify why others are wrong. POE

According to a recent magazine article, of those office employees who typically work 8 hours at the office each day but sometimes say that they will work at home on a particular day, 25 percent actually work less than one hour. At the same time, over 90 percent of those same office employees believe they are more productive working at home than working in their office.
The statements above, if true, best support which of the following conclusions about the office employees discussed in the article?
A On average, the office employees working at home for a day work fewer hours than office employees working at the office.
B 10 percent of the office employees are less productive working from home than working in their office.
C At least 15 percent of the office employees do not define productivity exclusively in terms of the number of hours worked.
D At least 25 percent of the office employees can complete the same amount of work in one hour at home as in 8 hours at the office.
E Some of the office employees make statements regarding their productivity that are not in fact true. Between B or C for me. I went for C. B - 90% are more productive at home than in office. The remaining 10% can possibly find it just as productive. hence, this is wrong C - Suppose we have 100 employees. 25 work less than 1 hour at home. 90 feel they are more productive at home. So 10 employees feel they are more productive at work. Assume this is the same bunch of people who work less than 1 hour from home. So out of the 25, 15 work less than 1 hour AND they still feel they are more productive at home. They must have a different measure of productivity. Makes sense to me. I think B would be wrong because it uses exactly 10% when all parts of the question use the words "at least" or "more than."

This kind of overlap merge with CR question. C is correct one. C At least 15 percent of the office employees do not define productivity exclusively in terms of the number of hours worked. 25% + 90% - 100% >= 15% office employees do not define productivity exclusively in terms of the number of hours worked.

This doesn't seem like the type of CR question that would be on the GMAT
