Main point
We are told:
If southern gets same seats (50%) with more funding (70%), then northern is more efficient.
So southern must have fewer seats per dollar.
Check options:
A. Southern wins fewer parliamentary victories per dollar than northern
Northern: 50/30 (high efficiency)
Southern: 50/70 (low efficiency)
So southern is less efficient → matches statement, valid inference.
B. Talks about competition → not mentioned.
C. Says funding stayed consistent → not stated.
D. Policy changes → not mentioned.
E. Policy popularity → not given.
Elimination
Only A directly follows from given ratios.
Answer: A
We are told:
- Northern branch: 30% funding, 50% seats
- Southern branch: remaining 70% funding, 50% seats
We compare efficiency (seats per funding).
If southern gets same seats (50%) with more funding (70%), then northern is more efficient.
So southern must have fewer seats per dollar.
Check options:
A. Southern wins fewer parliamentary victories per dollar than northern
Northern: 50/30 (high efficiency)
Southern: 50/70 (low efficiency)
So southern is less efficient → matches statement, valid inference.

northern and southern branches of liberals have been consistent in their performances in last 4 election.
northern branches accounted for 30% of money raised and won 50% of parliament seats.
southern branch has accounted for difference.
A. The southern branch has won fewer parliamentary victories per dollar raised in funding than has the northern branch.
northern branch- 30$, seats won=50- 50/30 = 1.66
southern branch - 70$, seats won= 50, 50/70= 0.70
this math does enough to infer this choice. keep.
B. The northern branch has faced stronger competition among its electorate than has the southern branch.
we cant say this with certainty as both parties have somewhat won same seats. so we dont what was the reason for winning only these much of seats and whats reason for lost seats. out.
C. Dollars raised in funding for each of the coalition’s branches have remained approximately consistent.
nothing about dollars being consistent in funding. reject.
D. The policies espoused by each branch have not changed.
nothing about policies. out.
E. Highly popular policies accounted for a higher proportion of the southern branch’s parliamentary victories than of the northern branch’s.
we dont knwo the reason for southern branchs victories. reject.
