Logical Reasoning
In our city, the cost of housing is the single largest component of the cost of living for residents. Currently, housing costs in the city's North End are higher than in the city's West End but lower than in the city's East End. The cost of living in the West End is greater than int he East End.
If all of the above statements are true, which of the following must also be true?
A. Housing costs in the East End are greater than in the West End.
B. The cost of living in the North End is greater than in the West End.
C. The average cost of renting a house is greater in the East End than int he West End.
D. Housing costs in the East End are greater than in the North End.
E. Housing costs are greater int he North End than in the West End.
The answer is...
A. According to west.net, "All you need to answer this question is the second sentence of the passage. Given that the North End's housing costs are higher than in the West End but lower than in the East End, it must be true that housing costs in the East End are greater than in the West End."
I was caught between A and D. But then I was thinking too hard again and completely ignored the statement that clearly answers the question. Was it the same for you too?
