Fact: A greater number of cars are sold in Town P than in Town Q.
Conclusion:The citizens of Town P spend more time driving their cars, per capita, than do the citizens of Town Q.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion above EXCEPT:
Town P has a larger population than Town Q.
Wrong. It will weaken the conclusion: P has a larger population than Q ==> the number of cars sell in P increase DOES NOT mean citizens of P spend more time driving.
Most citizens of Town Q work in Town P and buy their cars there.
Wrong. It will weaken the conclusion: The number of cars sell in P increase because citizens of Q buy cars in P.
Many residents of Town P purchase second cars that they use only rarely.
Wrong. It will weaken the conclusion: If citizens of P use care rarely ==> cannot say they spend more time driving.
Most drivers from Town P tend to drive only during the day, and only within the city limits of Town P.
Wrong. It will weaken the conclusion: Because citizens of P drive only during the day and in limited distance ==> cannot say they spend more time driving.
The average price of cars sold in Town P is lower than the average price of cars sold in Town Q.
Correct. There's no information about price of cars

Point to note: The evidence shown here on total number of cars sold and the conclusion is made on per capita.
A) This statement weakens the conclusion as we cannot even assert that per capita ownership of car is more in town P than that in town Q.
B) If many of cars sold in P are driven in Q, we cannot asset that per capita driving time for P is more than that of Q. This statement weakens the conclusion.
C) If number of cars is not linked to driving time, we cannot say that per capita driving time for P is more than that of Q. This statement weakens the conclusion.
D) Though we have no information on the usage of cars in town Q, this statement says that residents of town P does not drive the car much and thus the statement weakens the conclusion.
E) Price has no relation on the driving time per capita. This statement does not weaken the conclusion and thus this is the correct answer.
Correct answer is E.
