Question


Two schools decide to send their students to a picnic on the same day. How many students attend the picnic from the first school?
1. 40 students in all attend the picnic
2. If you multiply the number of students from first school with the number of students from the second school, the answer is 300


Options:
A .   Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient
B .   Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C .   EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
D .   BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
E .   Statement (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data are needed.
Answer: Option E
:
E

(e)

While at first glance, you may be tempted to answer (c), since there are two linear equations and two variables, as you try to solve the question you will get two answers 30 and 10. So you can’t say which one of those applies to the first school
