Answer questions on the basis of information given in the following case.
Life saving Pharmaceuticals ( LSP) is India - based Pharmaceuticals Company. Their business mostly revolves around a couple of generic drugs and a few patented drugs. LSP operates in 30 odd countries and more than 50% of their sales volume is from outside India.
If more than 50% of their sales volume is from generic drugs, which of the following options is definitely correct?
(Note : All percentages figures are with respect to total sales volume)
Option D is the correct answer. Let us examine the choices individually:
Option A: [Incorrect] [If the sales volume of patented drugs in India is 43%, the sales volume of generic drugs in India will be less than 43%.]
We can create the following 2*2 matrix to process the data [note: text in red = given information; text in blue = required value]
It is evident that the sales volume of generic drugs in India will be less than 7% (and not 43%) [For instance, the value cannot be 40% but instead must be below 7%]
Option B: [Incorrect] [If the sales volume of generic drugs in foreign countries is at least 24%, the sales volume of patented drugs in India will be above 24%.]
It is evident that the sales volume of patented drugs in India will be below 24%.
Option C: [Incorrect] [If the sales volume of patented drugs in India is 54%, the sales volume of generic drugs in foreign countries will be above 54%.]
The instructions specify that the sales volume in India is below 50%; therefore, the sales volume of patented drugs in India must also be below 50% (i.e. it cannot take the value specified in the option)
Option D: [Correct] [If the sales volume of patented drugs in India is 29%, the sales volume of generic drugs in foreign countries will be above 29%]
It is evident that the sales volume of generic drugs in foreign countries will be above 29%
Option E: [Incorrect] [If the sales volume of generic drugs in India is at least 60%, the sales volume of patented drugs in foreign countries will be above 60%.]
The instructions specify that the sales volume in India is below 50%; therefore, the sales volume of generic drugs in India must also be below 50% (i.e. it cannot take the value specified in the option)
