The number of North American children who are obese-that is, [#permalink]
 18 Jul 2004, 09:51
Question Stats:
100% (00:00) correct
0% (00:00) wrong based on 0 sessions
114. The number of North American children who are obese-that is, who have more body fat than do 85 percent of North American children their age---is steadily increasing, according to four major studies conducted over the past 15 years.
If the finding reported above is correct, it can be properly concluded that
(A) when four majors studies all produce similar results, those studies must be accurate
(B) North American children have been progressively less physically active over the past 15 years
(C) the number of North American children who are not obese increased over the past 15 years
(D) over the past 15 years, the number of North American children who are underweight has declined
(E) the incidence of obesity in North American children tends to increase as the children grow older

C, my answer.
we have 15% obese children. or 15 out of 100.
consider that the children population increased to 200. This means, children population will have 30 obese children.
number of obese children is directly proportional to children population. we know that the number of obese is increasing, in turn the number of non-obese.

D (1min 42 s)
that was my answer, but I now think that "underweight" has no relevance to the argument. Ans should be C

C here. I am not sure if DJ's explanation is correct or not (are we sure that the number of children has increased?), but me still thinks C is the best choice

I opted for (D), but after reading DJ's explanation, (C) looks better.
(Such kind of CR's are my weakness, CR's that talk about percentage and all. Any advice how to crack these!!)
