Govt problems

by rahul Mon Jun 02, 2008 2:02 am

The government of country C faces three problems: d, f, and j. Problem j can be solved only by eliminating problem d but before problem f is taken care of. The government of country L has two major problems: o and w. Problem o is the direct result of the problem f in country C, while problem w causes problem d in country C.

Which of the following help of an international organization G best helps to resolve the maximum number of problems in both county C and L?
a. The international organization G can provide all necessary funding to help country C fight problem j and f, as well as loan country L it's knowledgebase on how to fight w and o.
b. Organization G can assist both countries in eliminating problems d and f in country C and problem w in country L, which would lead to new problems q and p in both countries. Problem q will be the cause of problem p and will be able to be solved by the return to the initial stage of both countries.
c. Country L can become a part of the organization G which would ensure all its problems are eliminated, while country C would not in this case be able to become a part of the organization G and would be able to receive help in dealing with problem d.
d. International organization G is capable of supporting warfare between countries C and L which would eliminate all current problems in the two countries.
e. Organization G can provide all necessary funding and professional assistance to country L to fight problem w, while country L then would be able to consult country C on how to eliminate problem f, as well as provide necessary research and funding.

IMO A- all problems eliminated
OA - E, but then according to E, problem j not solved

A is dicey. If you closely look "Problem j can be solved only by eliminating problem d"..which means j is solved when d gets solved....

Thus, E.

What is the source of this question? I don't recognize it as one of ours.
