Question

In the last few years, several new shopping malls were opened in the city. The total number of visitors in the malls is impressive. However, the total revenue generated through sales in the shops in these malls is generally low. Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information in the above passage?

Correct answer (B) More people are visiting the malls but not spending enough Solution The passage provides two key pieces of information: 1. The total number of visitors is "impressive," which implies a high or large number of people are visiting the malls. 2. The total revenue from sales is "generally low," which implies that despite the high footfall, the amount of money spent by these visitors is not high. Combining these, the logical inference is that while many people visit the malls, they are not spending a significant amount of money. Option (A) contradicts the "impressive" number of visitors. Option (B) correctly captures both points: high visitor count ("More people") and low sales ("not spending enough"). Option (C) contradicts the "low revenue" statement. Option (D) contradicts the "impressive" number of visitors. Therefore, the correct option is (B). Turn this into a strength. Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.
