标题: 一道逻辑题GWD-TN3-3 [打印本页] 作者: yaoyaxing 时间: 2011-4-3 14:41 标题: 一道逻辑题GWD-TN3-3 The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed. However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia. Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased.
B. Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have.
C. The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years.
D. The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years.
E. The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years.

#sold B =# produced B+ #import (V->B)
#sold B 不变. #import (V->B) 增大 # produced B 必然减小
如果是avg time to assemble a television decrease了,就意味着效率提高,# produced B不一定减少,说不定增加了,和上面矛盾作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-4-3 19:32
Premise: Televisions are made in both V and B, and B imports TV from V. The number of televisions sold in B keeps constant. These TV's come from both B and V. the number of TV assemblers in B decreases.
Conclusion: TV imports from V to B has increased.
The assumption is that if TV assemblers in B are fewer, there will be fewer TV made in B. A further assumption is that the efficiency of TV assemblers in B has not changed (answer C).
If you use negation method, you would find that after negating C, the argument falls apart. If assemblers in B become more efficient, they can produce the same amount or more TV than before, even with a lower number of total assemblers.
