Question
Nokia India has two manufacturing units one each in China and Japan. It recently discovered that each mobile manufactured in Japan yield less profit than similar one in China. This is because the tariff on mobiles imported from China to India is 10% less than that when imported from Japan and both are priced equally.

The correct answer is (a). The argument assumes that there is no other difference which may neutralize or negate the 10% tariff difference in favour of China. If we show this to be true (or if we show yet another difference in favour of China), we strengthen the argument. This is exactly what choice (a) does. Choice (b) weakens the argument. Choice (c) and (d) are irrelevant.
