Clearly, while comparing two companies, higher sales do not necessarily indicate higher profits. A recently published article in a prominent business magazine shows that the top ten names on the list of companies with the highest sales and the corresponding names on the list of companies with the highest profits are mutually exclusive.
Which of the following can properly be inferred based on the above statements?
(A) While comparing two companies, the company with higher sales is more likely to have lower profits.
(B) It is highly likely that two companies with different sales have the same profit margin.
(C) Sales and profits have no correlation.
(D) While comparing two companies, lower sales do not by themselves indicate lower profits.
(E) In order to compete in the market, it is better for a company to have higher profits than higher sales.
Which of the following can properly be inferred based on the above statements?
(A) While comparing two companies, the company with higher sales is more likely to have lower profits.

Just because a company has high sales doesn't mean they have high profits. A top ten list of companies with highest sales and highest profits showed they were totally different companies. So, if you're comparing two companies, don't assume the one with lower sales automatically has lower profits. That's what D is saying.
