Question

A recent survey shows that 65% of tobacco users were advised to stop consuming tobacco. The survey also shows that 3 out of 10 tobacco users attempted to stop using tobacco.

Based only on the information in the above passage, which one of the following options can be logically inferred with certainty?

The correct answer is

A majority of tobacco users who were advised to stop consuming tobacco did not attempt to do so.

At most 30% of all users both received advice and attempted to quit. Hence at least 65% − 30% = 35% received advice but did not attempt. Since 35 is more than half of 65, a majority of the advised group did not attempt. Nothing is stated about success.
