Reasoning/Support: A survey of office managers who had acquired new printing equipment over the previous five years found that twelve percent of laser printers in use had needed servicing on more than one occasion, compared with just three percent of inkjet printers that had ever required any servicing at all.
Conclusion: Offices that depend on uninterrupted access to printing should therefore expect far fewer workflow disruptions by choosing inkjet over laser printers.
Which of the following is an assumption the argument relies on?
(A) Inkjet printers do not produce noticeably lower print quality than laser printers for standard office documents. - Incorrect. The conclusion talks about uninterrupted access, no mention of quality.
(B) Offices that use laser printers are not far more likely to operate them at substantially higher print volumes over time than offices that use inkjet printers. - Incorrect. Does not make a difference in our conclusion.
(C) At least as many offices in the survey had acquired laser printers as had acquired inkjet printers. - Correct, if the number wasn't the same, the percentages could give the wrong idea. Example, if there were 100 inkjet printers (3% of this would be 3 printers) and 25 laser printers (12% of this would be 3 printers), the number of printers that needed servicing would be same but % is different and misleading.
(D) Laser printers do not generally require longer periods of downtime for each service visit than inkjet printers do. - Incorrect, could be perceived as correct but not relevant.
(E) Offices that acquired printing equipment within the past year are not far more likely to have chosen laser printers than offices that acquired equipment five years ago. - Incorrect. This is an expected result if the conclusion is believed, not an assumption.

Correct Ans is B, bcz the argument talks about the functioning or reliability of the printer and best way to find the answer is the negate the available options and select the one that most weaken the argument. In case of B, if we negate it "Offices that use laser printer are far more like to operate them at substantially higher print volumes over time that offices that use inkjet printers" this weaken the argument of better efficacy of inkjet.

Correct option is B.
In case the laser printers are more heavily used than the inkjet printers then the basis of comparison is not correct. The heavy usage like printing more paper could be the reason why more servicing is needed for laser printers.
Hence this assumption is important.
