It is also possible----question is asking the possibility. amount of day doesnot mean the amount of rain If one day rains the heaviest rain in this century than the result listed in the arg is possible ,too Hence A is the answer.A is possible. ---------------- B:the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was the same in 1990 as in 1910 - As dissucssed in the arg,fewer days with light rainfall than in 1910 and fewer with moderate rainfallthe number of days with some rainfall, B would never happen since small plus small would never be the same or bigger
So B and C could never happen
D: the total number of inches of rain that fell on days with moderate rainfall in 1990 was more than twice what it had been in 1910
- D could never happen either since the amount of rains in moderate rainfall has been defined .And meanwhile,the number of days of moderate rainfall has been said fewer that those in 1910.So it is impossible that total number of inches of rain that fell on days with moderate rainfall in 1990 was more. E: the average amount of rainfall per month was lower in 1990 than in 1910
- E could never happen since the total rainfall for 1990 was 20 percent higher in 1990 than in 1910. And as we all know that one year contains 365 days or 366 days .So the the average amount of rainfall per month must be higher in 1990 than in 1910 ------------------------------------------------------- So B/C/D/E could never happen and A is the anwer that is possible. |
