Explanation / Answer

statment 5: 29 cars were driven by women who are citizens of country M,

statment 6: 25 cars were driven by women and had two or more passengers,

statment 7: 22 cars were driven by citizens of country M and had two or more passengers, and

statment : 16 cars were driven by women who are citizens of country M and had two or more passengers

from this we can conclude that, 29 cars were driven by women and citizens of country M.

total women driven the car and had two or more passengers=25

women of country M driven car and had two or more passengers=16

women driven the car and had two or more passengers but not citizen of country M=25-16=9

So total womens = women citizen of country M +women not citizen of M

=29+9

=38

which contradicts the statement total number of womens driven 34.

The agent's last four statements indicate that at least 38 cars were driven by women. This contradicts the agent's first statement, which says that only 31 such cars were seen.
