Automobiles use 20 percent of all energy consumed in Bangladesh. Suppose that the Jatio Sangsad of Bangladesh has passed legislation requiring all cars builds after 2005 to be twice as energy efficient, eventually automobiles will consume on 10 percent.
The argument makes which of the following assumptions?
A. CNG cars willl not become widely available
B. The public will not be buying twice as many cars in 2005 as it is currently.
C. As cars become more energy-efficient, the public does not increase its use of cars.
D. Cars will actually be three times as energy-efficient cars in 2005.
E. Cars will not be significantly more expensive in 2005.

Quote:
- There is nothing about CNG cars mentioned above.
Out of scope.
Quote:
- Again, there is nothing mentioned about the number of cars that people are buying right now or how much the said cars are being used. Let's say that someone who has 1 car buys another in 2005 but only uses 1 of them at a given time. So it may or may not have any effect on the energy consumed.
Quote:
- This one is the clearest one. Let's say a person drives 100 kilometers a week, but now as the car runs 200 kilometers on the same amount of fuel, the person may drive the car more than earlier.
If people use the car as much as they do now -> Energy consumption goes down.
If people use the car more than they do now -> Energy consumption goes up.
Quote:
- This information is not necessary and does not impact the premise in any way. Even twice the efficiency is sufficient as given in the premise.
Quote:
- Irrelevant info.

My 2 cents for why B could not be the best answer,
Quote:
Please observe, it says that the public will not be buying 2x number of existing cars, but what if public buys 1.99X number of the existing cars? The energy consumption will still go up, right?
