Hi experts, please can you look at this inference question from eGMAT inference theory.
I am doing some inference drills and this question has created some issues.
"The most expensive shirt at Macy's department store is blue in color and costs $90."
So we can safely say the most expensive shirt is blue and can be no other color but blue, and costs $90 (no more no less)
eGMAT says we can infer that "Every red shirt at Macy's costs no more than $90". This can never be possible based on the statement earlier. This statement implies that it could be less than 90 OR 90 exactly. This clearly is illogical as we already know that the most expensive shirt is $90 and blue. A red shirt can never cost $90.
No more than means < or = to. So this breaks the logic. We cannot clearly infer this but your guide says we can infer this.
Any input is welcome. I've attached a snippet of the question and answer.
