His proposal is based on city Y crime data that show that the number of crimes in any district of the city decreases when additional police officers are moved into that district. The Police Commissioner\u2019s proposal depends on which of the following assumptions?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 City X experienced a drastic reduction in crime after implementing a proposal similar to that proposed by the Police Commissioner of city Y.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The severity of crimes committed in any district of the city decreases when additional police officers are moved into that district.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The number of crimes committed in all high-crime districts of city Y is more than triple the number of crimes committed in all low-crime districts of city Y.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 There are more low-crime districts than high-crime districts in city Y.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Districts of the city from which police officers are removed do not experience significant crime increases shortly after the removal of those officers.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/assumption-revision-to-decrease-the-number-of-crimes-193610.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color:#fff;color:#fff\">- E -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/inference-revision-government-restrictions-have-severely-limited-193148.html\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=blog&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math If and are positive integers and is a prime factor of , then which of the following MUST be true?
