There are only two answers to the question "do you have a plan?":
YES.
NO.
If NO=800, then YES=1000-800=200. How else?
A typical survey will have 1 or more questions. The surveyee may choose not to reply to a survey question that is not mandatory.
When surveyee does not respond to the question then the case is "
did not indicate that they had a business recovery plan"
When surveyee responds "No" to the question then the case is "indicated that they
did not have a business recovery plan"
I do not intend to contest your solution since I see where you're coming from. But, DS questions do test for unsupported assumptions. Assumption that survey question was mandatory or every participant responded to the survey question, is not supported in the question stem. That is how I read the question. Maybe I'm wrong - at least by the rule that question-maker's answer is always right!
I agree here. Since the Q asks: "what percent
indicated that they had a business recovery plan?" And statement 1 says: 200 of the companies
did not indicate., it can be read as if they did not indicate YES or NO; meaning they did not answer the Q. If this were a GMAT SC problem, it would be a meaning error from the original sentence/Q. The statement really
should say: 200 companies INDICATED that they did not. ... not that they
did not indicate. Again, the latter can be read as if they did not even answer the Q in the survey, which is why I chose E. The meaning error threw me off.
