There are two cities Armia and Banur, 50 miles away. A premium Bus ser

Hello Guys, here's my take to the explaination to this question. Please let me know if there are any holes in my understanding.

• Amria and Banur are 50 miles away
• Travel one has non-stop service in morning from A to B
• Almost every day the bus remains filled till 90% ( remember almost every day)
○ The operator of Travel One intends to fill up the remaining 10% seats by making a halt enroute at Town Creepia ( conclusion) -> since this is the plan we have to strengthen
This is our conclusion that the operator intends to fill up the 10% seats by making halt at Creepia
• The Creepia is not too much far away from both towns
• People will not leave the bus in significants amounts at Creepia, bursting the numbers down further below 90%
A) This option does not support the argument. Even if there are reasons or no reasons we don't get a clear intention that the operator will meet the plan
B) This can be true. We can hold it for a while
a. But if bus services are there, though limited, the chances are there that the bus will not be able to fill 10% of the seats
C) This will weaken the argument. If it halts at Creepia, the other passengers would not choose this bus
D) This tells us that people of Creepia use private transport and hence they can use public transport
a. Remember there is a difference between B and D
i. B says that the bus services are limited
ii. Here it is limited + additional people using private transport.
iii. Tell now, what Is better? In D we know that there are people who are using private transport
iv. In B if the contenders were X, In D the contenders will be X+Y and hence it is better than option B
E) The objective of the operator is to fill 10% of the seats, the revenue is out of context here

D over B . Took 3 minutes

Reasin of rejecting B : What if Population in Town C is very less or there is no demand. In that case Bus would just be any ohter alternate and hence , this does not ensure 10% incrfeasse in capacity.

D, on the other hand creates necessitates such increase in capacity.

Yes, but the demand is for public transportation, nor private. For all we know there might be end number of other private buses applying.
