Hi guys, I'm new to this site. Noticed that there are quite a lot of helpful members here and hope that one of you could help shed some light into the attached
IR question.
My struggle lies in trying to understand the "Can be Concluded" and "Cannot be Concluded" options. The last question states
"A higher percentage of natural resources, construction, and maintenance workers than of production, transportation, and material moving workers have some sort of retirement benefits."
As long as there is sufficient data to make a conclusion on this statement, be it yes or no. Shouldn't "Can be Concluded" be the right answer then?
Thank you!

Hi,
the IR is not like DS, where we find the ans to be YES if the data provided can answer definitively either way.
Here 'can be concluded' MEANS affirmative answer.. If the answer is YES to the statement -- it can be concluded..
BUT if answer to the statement is NO or if their is insufficient info -- it cannot be concluded.. you have to follow the literal meaning
