The improvements in automobile braking technology, most notably ABS, have dramatically decreased the number of accidents at city intersections – in 2004, there were 155 such accidents, while the figure stands at 67 this year. Accidents at other places, which include all accidents on highways, rose from 16 percent of all accidents in 2004 to 34 percent this year. The accidents due to low visibility - occurring, for instance, during fog or rain, are up by three percent in the same period.
Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the passage?
A. As the number of accidents at intersections decreased, the overall number of accidents decreased too.
B. The number of accidents due to low visibility accounted for less percentage of overall accidents in 2004 than in this year.
C. The ABS technology is practically ineffective on highways.
D. If improvements in automobile braking technology continue for another decade, most accidents at intersections can be avoided.
E. Accidents at intersection made up a greater percentage of all accidents in 2004 than in this year.

There is a decrease in the number of accidents at city intersections –155 in 2004, while 67 this year.
Accidents at other places (not at intersections), which include all accidents on highways, rose from 16 percent of all accidents in 2004 to 34 percent this year. Pls note its in %.
if 2004 has 16x accidents, this year has 34x.
% of intersection accidents in 2004= 155/(155+16x)=a
% of intersection accidents this year=67/(67+34x)=b
a is always greater than b.
So E is the answer.
