Solution of this case says to reduce the pricing and then admits that this will lower the margin but gain the market share. however, one of the goals of this gase is to increase margin and the share not one or the other I believe.

Hi,
You are right, but it's not always possible to find a solution that satisfies every client's request.
In this case, after your analyses, the interviewer can ask you to present your findings: that lowering price will make our client to gain market share.
Usually the interviewer will then ask you to quickly brainstorm possible alternatives/solution to also increase the margins.
Hope it helps,
Luca
