Data Sufficiency

MCQ - 26-4002

Question:

If a and b are both positive, what percent of b is a?

  1. a = 3/11
  2. b/a = 20

  1. statement 1 alone is sufficient, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question
  2. statement 2 alone is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question
  3. both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient
  4. statement 2 alone is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question
  5. statements 1 and 2 together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Statement (1) tells us nothing about b and so the answer cannot be A or D. To find what percent a is of b we need to solve the expression (a/b) x 100. Statement (2) allows us to do just that: (a/b) = 1/20. No need to go any further; the answer is B.
