The 17 countries of the Eurozone are all united by one currency—the euro, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t price disparities in the continent. A sum of 20 Euros can buy you 35 cups of coffee in Portugal but only seven cups of coffee in Greece. The same amount of money can get you 16 cartons of eggs in Malta, but only seven cartons of eggs in Ireland.

Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn from the information above?

(A) On an average, a cup of coffee costs more in Portugal than in Greece.

(B) A carton of eggs costs more in Malta than in Ireland.

(C) Price disparities are an unusual phenomenon in the countries of the Eurozone.

(D) The cost of a cup of coffee in Greece is the same as that of a carton of eggs in Ireland.

(E) Portugal is a cheaper country to stay in than is Greece.



Official Explanation



Answer: D

Since this is an Inference question, let’s look at each option and eliminate.

(A) In fact, a cup of coffee costs more in Greece than in Portugal.

(B) Again, a carton of eggs costs more in Ireland than in Malta.

(C) There is nothing in the argument to suggest this.

(D) The correct answer. 20 Euros can buy you 7 cups of coffee in Greece, whereas the same amount of money can buy you 7 cartons of eggs in Ireland. Then the price of a cup of coffee in Greece has to be the same as the price of a carton of eggs in Ireland.

(E) No inferences can be made about how expensive a country is to stay in based on the information given in the argument.
