Recent studies show that people between the ages of 13 and 55 produce 65 pounds more garbage per year than they did in 1995. This increase has led to a higher percentage of the total garbage produced by all the age groups. This age group constitutes a growing percentage of the population, so it partially explains this rise.
Which of the following can be concluded from passage?
A. People over the age of 55 produce more garbage than people less than the age of 13.
B. Population has risen since 1995.
C. People between the age of 13 and 55 are more than half of current population.
D. Before 1995, people below age 13 and above age 55 produced higher percentage of total garbage than they do now.
E. People between the age of 13 and 55 produce more garbage than those below 13 or older than 55.

why d and not c? if population increase , obviously pollution will also increase.....
Official Explanation
Because the percentage of garbage produced by the people between the ages of 13 and 55 has increased, the percentage of garbage produced by those older than 55 and younger than 13 must have decreased. Choice D is the best answer.

But the decreaae in percentage of garbage produced by those older than 55 and younger than 13 conpared before 1995 does no necessarily imply that total garbage produced by all age group will increase.
