Cellular services are not present in Volsinia, despite the neighbouring country Rolisica has a cellular service active in it. Recently, two companies - cyberdyne and Nora tech are developing cellular infrastructure in Volsinia. The pricing and ease of usage of services between these two companies are equal.

Despite close similarities, company cyberdyne has an edge over Nora tech. As, the question statement mentions, the product Cyberdyne is likely to dominate the market.

Lets look into the options

(A) Cyberdyne has a much larger share of the international cellular service market than Noratech does.

No connection between presence of international call demand is mentioned or logically linked. Hence, out of scope.

(B) the number of Volsinia residents who will purchase cellular service is likely to double over the next few years.

If the consumer base widens, it’s equally likely that they opt for the choice between both companies. This doesn’t logically conclude the question. Out of scope.

(C) Noratechís infrastructure is better designed to accommodate population growth in Volsinia.

This is contradictory to the concluding remarks. Eliminated.

(D) both Cyberdyne and Noratech sell mobile phones in addition to cellular service.

Both sell and provide equal service. Hence, out of scope.

(E) Cyberdyne is the only cellular service provider with a substantial presence in Rolisica, and many Volsinia residents frequently travel between the two countries.

This clearly connects the dots, with the same cellular network provider, it’s more likely that people opting for a network which has greater connectivity in the neighbouring country, provided people traverse for work frequently between these two countries. Hence option E

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



E

In the passage itself, there is no difference given between the two companies. There must be some difference; for the passage to be logical, that difference must be contained in the correct answer choice.

Choice (A) gives us a difference, but not one that has any discernable impact on business in Volsinia. Without that, the passage doesn't make logical sense.

Choice (B) doesn't even give us a difference between the two companies.

Choice (C) offers a difference, but it seems to be in favor of Noratech, while the passage says that Cyberdyne is likely to dominate the market.

Choice (D) is another choice without a difference between the companies.

(E), finally, is correct. Not only does it give us a difference, but it explains why that difference would be to the advantage of Cyberdyne. That's what we're looking for.
