The cafeteria of a certain elementary school provides a free lunch every day to the entire student body—a significant expense in the school's annual budget. A vice principal was exploring cost-reducing measures that would not compromise nourishment. A local Italian restaurant offered the school a large number of pizzas at a vastly reduced bulk rate. The pizzas were served one day, and afterward, the vice principal calculated that the cost of the pizza and delivery was slightly more than the average cost of typical cafeteria lunch day. Therefore, he concluded that the school could not save money by replacing a day of cafeteria lunch with a day of pizza from this restaurant.
Which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the conclusion drawn by the vice principal?
(A) How many pizzas were uneaten at the end of that day's lunch.
(B) Whether pizza provides the same level of nutrition as a typical cafeteria lunch.
(C) Whether another Italian restaurant in this town would provide a similar deal and offer free delivery.
(D) Whether other, more expensive dishes from that Italian restaurant, would provide a more balanced and varied set of nutrients.
(E) Whether the faculty preferred the pizza to the typical cafeteria lunch.

(A) How many pizzas were uneaten at the end of that day's lunch.
Correct Imagine, if %10 of pizzas are uneaten school principal can decide to lower the quantity of next order and save from costs
(B) Whether pizza provides the same level of nutrition as a typical cafeteria lunch.
According to the paragraph, it is true that school principal doesn't want to compromise food quality, however; he is trying to calculate costs so nutrition value doesn't mean much
(C) Whether another Italian restaurant in this town would provide a similar deal and offer free delivery.
"with a day of pizza from this restaurant." we don't care about possible solutions we care about the costs of ordering from the this very Italian restaurant
(D) Whether other, more expensive dishes from that Italian restaurant, would provide a more balanced and varied set of nutrients.
We don't care about other dishes, our focus is on pizzas
(E) Whether the faculty preferred the pizza to the typical cafeteria lunch.
We care about costs not preferences

The main point of the conclusion is that the vice-principal believes that the school cannot save money be replacing cafeteria lunch with pizza from this restaurant.
In order to evaluate this conclusion, we are simply not concerned about the health quotient of the pizza or the lunch meal. Even though it is one of the important criterion for the school but is not being asked in the question here. This eliminates options B and D.
The preference of faculty on pizza vs cafeteria lunch is of no use in evaluating the priceyness of the two options. Eliminate E.
While C may sound tempting, but we must remember that we need to evaluate the conclusion about the slightly expensive costs of pizza from this restaurant (over cafeteria lunch) and any deals and offers by other restaurants are out of discussion because it is not a conclusion about pizzas in general, it is a conclusion about pizzas from this given restaurant.
(A) is a perfect choice. If we know the amount of leftover/uneaten pizzas, it can definitely help us in rationalizing the school's order and determining whether it is actually expensive to order pizzas from the given restaurant.
