Let's say 5 years ago,
Number of thefts annually committed in Stoneville = 100
Number of thefts in Laytonville = 100 approx.
In the last 5 years percent increase in thefts committed
Laytonville = 20%
Stoneville = 10%
So, we can say that the no. of thefts in Laytonville > Stoneville
Which of the following can be properly inferred from the passage above?
A. Crime rate in Laytonville has increased over the last five years. - We only know about the number of cases committed, can't say anything about the crime rate. There can be lower crime rate and higher cases. Depends on the proportion of people committing crime and total population
B. Per capita number of thefts committed in Laytonville is now greater than in Stoneville. Can't say. Maybe the population is greater in Laytonville than in Stoneville and so the per capita no. of thefts should be low
C. Stoneville is now more attractive for new residents than Laytonville. Irrelevant
D. There are more thieves in Laytonville than in Stoneville. Can't say. We only know about the number of cases
E. As of this year the total number of thefts committed in Laytonville is greater than that in Stoneville. Correct. As per our prethinking

Hi Sudesh,
I would like to comment on this cr, in the passage author mentioned "the amount of thefts in stoneville increased by 10%". This is clearly ambiguous using amount for countable entity and may let us to think of it as a value of theft hence option E may not be a correct answer.
