Sajjad1994  how does this explain the data -

Mall C is located in the vicinity of multiple international embassies and therefore requires high security arrangements at each point of entry and exit.

AbhinavShah14 · Answer

wytwyt  I think so the data can help to explain that as Mall C is the only one that has a single entry gate, hence the high security arrangements has to be at a single point of entry and exit. It is a dicecy explanation, hence  Sajjad1994  could you please share the official explanation for this question.

Official Explanation

Statement 1:  Mall E has the greatest number of electronics showrooms and it is given in the question that the table provides information regarding shopping malls in a city; hence, the statement helps explain the greatest number of electronics showrooms.

Answer: would help explain

Statement 2:  Statement 2 helps explain the smallest number of entry gates in Mall C.

Answer: would help explain

Statement 3:  This statement is on the opposite site. Mall B has only 1 ATM; hence, it could not be true that Mall B is located in the middle of a busy market where shoppers often need ATM machines for withdrawing cash. Instead, this statement would help explain Mall H.

Answer: would not help explain

Mall E is located adjacent to a local market which the city dwellers visit for the primary purpose of buying electronic goods. => would help explain

Sort by Electronic showrooms: Mall E has the highest number

Mall C is located in the vicinity of multiple international embassies and therefore requires high security arrangements at each point of entry and exit. => would help explain

Sort by Entry Gates: Mall C has the lowest number

Mall B is located in the middle of a busy market where the shoppers often need ATM machines for withdrawing cash. => would not help explain

Sort by number of ATMs => Mall B has only 1 ATM

Danny134 · Answer

I have a doubt regarding the first statement, if "Mall E is located adjaent to a local market which the city dwellers visit for the primary purpose of buying electronic goods", then why would Mall E have so many electronic stores?

If people are specifically going to the market to buy electronic goods, then they will buy the same from the market and not come to the mall all together for the same purpose. If we think this way, Mall E should either not have electronic stores or have them in a lesser count than the current number.

high security arrangements at each point of entry and exit.

I doubt the connection between the smallest number of entry gates and demanding security requirement. So I doubt the explanation for Statement 2.

bb · Answer

I agree. I am going to archive this question due to wording and issues highlighted. 
Thank you.
