In 2010, China comprised about 10 percent of the world's gross domestic product (GDP), and its voting share in the World Bank was increased from under 3 percent to 4.4 percent. During the same timeframe, France comprised about 4 percent of the world's GDP and saw its voting share in the World bank drop from 4.3 percent to 3.8 percent.
Which of the following can be logically concluded from the passage above?
(A) World Bank voting shares are allocated based upon each country's share of the world's GDP.
(B) The new ratio of voting share to percentage of world GDP is lower for China than it is for France.
(C) Gross domestic product is the most important factor in determining voting share at the World Bank.
(D) China should be upset that its voting share does not match its proportion of the world's GDP.
(E) France lost some of its voting share to China because China comprised a larger portion of the world's GDP.

Tricky if you are not paying attention.
We have not given any data prior to 2010,
A) Seems right but as no data is given, we cannot be certain.
Eliminate
B) The new ratio of voting share to percentage of world GDP is lower for China than it is for France.
Don't need to calculate but understand France is greater than China.
China: 4.4% voting / 10% GDP = 0.44
France: 3.8% voting / 4% GDP = 0.95
Other options:
(C) claim allocation rules—unsupported.
(D) is an opinion.
(E) asserts causation (France lost share to China)—not justified.

The question mentions about the relationship between GDP and voting share as of 2010, for the countries China and France.
China has a GDP contribution of 10% and the voting share increased from 3 to 4.4, while France has a GDP contribution of 4% , and the voting share decreased from 4.3 to 3.8.
(A) World Bank voting shares are allocated based upon each country's share of the world's GDP.
Option A - mentions the voting share is based on the GDP contribution, but as per question stem, this factor can be one amongst the factors which is positively correlated. But, This cannot be the conclusion.
(B) The new ratio of voting share to percentage of world GDP is lower for China than it is for France.
Option B -let’s find the voting share to GDP percentage for the two countries in question. China = 4.4/10 = 0.44 and for France = 3.8/4 = 0.95. This clearly supports the option and the conclusion. Since, the passage is based on the two parameters and it’s quite logical to arrive at this point.
(C) Gross domestic product is the most important factor in determining voting share at the World Bank.
Option C - GDP can be one of the important factors , but cannot be considered as the MOST important or driving factors. Hence, wrong.
(D) China should be upset that its voting share does not match its proportion of the world's GDP.
Option D - It’s a futuristic option, and the question doesn’t have any clues driving to this conclusion. Hence. Wrong.
(E) France lost some of its voting share to China because China comprised a larger portion of the world's GDP.
Option E - France has lost some voting share, that doesn’t mean the competition is between France and China only. There is an entire gamut of countries which share their GDP. This option assumes that the GDP contribution between the two countries is fixed, as one increases, the other decreases. Hence, wrong.
Option B
