Question


On a certain sight-seeing tour, the ratio of the number of Indians to the number of Chinese was 5 to 2. What was the number of Americans on the sight-seeing tour?

(1) On the sight-seeing tour, the ratio of the number of Chinese to the number of Americans was 5 to 11.


(2) The number of Indians on the sight-seeing tour was less than 30


Options:
A .   If the question can be answered with statement 1 alone
B .   If the question can be answered with statement 2 alone
C .   If both statement 1 and statement 2 are needed to answer the question and
D .   If the question cannot be answered even with the help of both statements
Answer: Option C
:
C
Given Indians: Chinese = 5:2
(1) Chinese: Americans = 5:11, it is insufficient
(2) Indians<30; This alone is insufficient

Together, I:C:A = 25:10:22 (all have to be integers!) thus I=25 and A=22.
