Question

If a fourth plant produces 150 widgets in 60 days, which statement is true?

Answer 1

Answer: C. It makes less than Plant A.

====================================================

Explanation:

At the 60 day mark, the following number of widgets are produced

• Plant A = 300 widgets
• Plant B = 100 widgets
• Plant C = 200 widgets

The fourth plant makes 150 widgets, which is between B and C

We see that the fourth plant does not make more than Plant A, so we can rule out choice A.

The fourth plant does not make less than Plant B, which allows us to rule out choice B.

The only thing left is choice C. Sure enough, this statement is true since 150 widgets made at the fourth plant is less than 300 made in Plant A. This is why choice C is the answer.
