Question:

Was the price of a certain stereo in March greater than its price in May?

(1) The price of the stereo in March was 80 percent of its price in April.

(2) The price of the stereo in April was 120 percent of its price in May.

  1. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
  2. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
  3. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
  4. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
  5. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Again, this problem is looking for a yes or no answer. Statement (1) doesn’t tell us anything about the May price, so it is not sufficient. We can cross off A and D.

Statement (2) doesn’t tell us anything about March, so it is not sufficient and we can cross off B. With both statements together, we know relative prices, and no matter what numbers we were to assume, the May price ends up slightly higher than the March price. So the answer is definitely no, meaning that both statements together are sufficient, and the answer is C.
