3. Beginning in the 1950s, popular music was revolutionized by the electrification of musical instruments, which has enabled musicians to play with increased volume. Because individual musicians can play with increased volume, the average number of musicians per band has decreased. Nevertheless, electrification has increased rather than decreased the overall number of musicians who play popular music professionally.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above, if those statements are true?
(A) The number of amateur musicians who play popular music has decreased.
(B) Most professional musicians are able to play both electric and nonelectric instruments.
(C) The number of professional musicians in some bands has increased.
(D) The total number of professional bands has increased as a result of electrification.
(E) Many professional musicians play in more than one band.
this was hard for me, anyone care to break it down? i'll post the OA in the morning, that is when i wake up.

C Vs D. I believe since C cannot be the answer. It has to be D.
Lets say avg of numbers in list is low and yet the sum of the numbers is increasing with time. Probably more numbers are added in the list with time.

Answer is D for sure. It's a resolve the paradox saying that the no. of musicians per band is decreasing of electric instruments. In spite of this, the overall no. is increasing. This can only be true if the no. of bands increase.
