I will go with C..for B to happen, there has to be another premise

what is the OA?

[nuttyvarun]

Looks pretty staright forward to me.. I hope my answer is correct

I would have marked option C

James in top 1/3rd = top 34%
Nestor in top 1/10th = top 10%
Liz in top 1/10th = top 10% since, Liz = Nestor >> Grade Points
Nancy Grade points < Liz Grade points, thus Nancy is between top 11/100th and 99/100th

Order in terms of grade points is:
Liz/Nestor > James
Liz/Nestor > Nancy

NOT Mentioned: relation betn Nancy's and James' grade points

(A) James has a higher grade point average than Elizabeth.
- INCORRECT
(B) James has a higher grade point average than Nancy.
- NOT MENTIONED
(C) Nestor has a higher grade point average than Nancy.
- CORRECT
(D) Elizabeth and Nancy both have a higher grade point average than James.
- NOT MENTIONED
(E) Nestor and James both have a higher grade point average than Nancy.
- INCORRECT

whats the OA..??..

According to a recent study on financial roles, one-third of high school seniors say that they have “significant financial responsibilities.” These responsibilities include, but are not limited to, contributing to food, shelter, or clothing for themselves or their families. At the same time, a second study demonstrates that a crisis in money management exists for high school students. According to this study, 80% of high school seniors have never taken a personal finance class even though the same percentage of seniors has opened bank accounts and one-third of these account holders has bounced a check.

Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above?

1. High schools would be wise to incorporate personal finance classes into their core curricula.
2. At least one-third of high school seniors work part-time jobs after school.
3. The number of high school seniors with significant financial responsibilities is greater than the number of seniors who have bounced a check.
4. Any high school seniors who contribute to food, shelter, or clothing for themselves or their families have significant financial responsibilities.
5. The majority of high school students have no financial responsibilities to their families.
