Just as an example - This is an excerpt of the answers, taken from the IR section (online) of the GMAT Handbook 2013.
I'd assumed that they're asking if the statements are inferable. Therefore, for statement #2, the answer is actually, "No, the statement is false and wrong."
However, look at their wording of the question. 'select Inferable if the statement is reasonably inferable from the information provided...'
I interpreted it as, "Yes, I can infer from the information provided, that this statement is wrong."
HOWEVER, their reasoning is: "The statement is wrong, therefore this is not inferable."
I'm a bit wary of them now, I understand the IR section is a new section, but if they make this kind of elementary meaning mistakes, how can I be sure if I'm really answering the question correctly or wrongly?
Any thoughts?

Veenu21 Can you share the question, which you found confusing. As the reasoning will vary for different questions and will depend only on the question stem.
If you see the question stem (as shared in the image), the word reasonably would not affect the answer choice in the same way, had there been can / certainly used instead.
