If a person studies four hours a day for the GMAT, he will score in the top 10 percent. Every student at Harvard School of Law scored in the top 10 percent. Thus, Sarah who is studying at Harvard School of Law must have studied at least four hours a day.
The reasoning in the argument above is flawed because it
(A) fails to consider that many students at Harvard studied more than four hours a day.
(B) fails to consider that studies have shown that studying one subject more than three hours a day can be counterproductive.
(C) fails to consider that studying less than four hours a day may be sufficient for some people to score in the top 10 percent.
(D) fails to consider that people who studied less than three hours a day did not get into Harvard.
(E) fails to consider that an additional eight hours a week of studying is an impossible burden for most college students.

A. No. How many students studied for more than 4 hours a day is irrelevant.
B. No. The study has absolutely no relation with one how many subjects are studied at a stretch.
C. would be correct. Since the study shows that a person studying for 4 hours a day scores in the top 10% and since every student at Harvard scored in the top 10%, the argument safely assumes that Sarah too must have studied for 4 hours a day. It fails to take into account that Sarah might be so intelligent that she might not require to study for 4 hours daily to get into the top 10% scorers.
D. No. This has no relation with the study and the claim made.
E. No. The study or the argument doesn't talk about any additional eight hours of studying per week.
B. No. The study has absolutely no relation with one how many subjects are studied at a stretch.

C is the answer ..

The reasoning in the argument above is flawed because it
If a person studies four hours a day for the GMAT, he will score in the top 10 percent.
But reverse may not be true i..e a student in top 10 percent score may not necessarily have studied 4 hrs a day
