Last year the worldwide paper industry used over twice as [#permalink]
 17 Jan 2005, 14:28
Question Stats:
44% (02:50) correct
55% (02:04) wrong based on 1 sessions
Last year the worldwide paper industry used over
twice as much fresh pulp (pulp made directly from
raw plant fibers) as recycled pulp (pulp made from
wastepaper). A paper-industry analyst has projected
that by 2010 the industry will use at least as much
recycled pulp annually as it does fresh pulp, while
using a greater quantity of fresh pulp than it did last
year.
If the information above is correct and the analyst’s
projections prove to be accurate, which of the
following projections must also be accurate?
(A) In 2010 the paper industry will use at least twice
as much recycled pulp as it did last year.
(B) In 2010 the paper industry will use at least twice
as much total pulp as it did last year.
(C) In 2010 the paper industry will produce more
paper from a given amount of pulp than it did last
year.
(D) As compared with last year, in 2010 the paper
industry will make more paper that contains only
recycled pulp.
(E) As compared with last year, in 2010 the paper
industry will make less paper that contains only
fresh pulp.

Here is my explanation:
Last Year's Fresh Pulp > 2Last Year's Recycled Pulp
Therefore at maximum recyled pulp use,
Last Year's Recycled Pulp = Last Year's Fresh Pulp/2 - (1)
2010 Fresh pulp <= 2010 Recyled pulp -(2)
2010 Fresh pulp >= Last Year's Fresh pulp - (3)
(1) and (2) and (3) confirm answer A

Shouldn't D be correct by the same logic by which A is correct.
How do you chose A and not D.

How do you chose A and not D. D speaks about proportion. However, A assumes that even in 2010, the amount of paper produced from fresh pulp will be the same as the previous year. A is a bit better...
