Question

In a certain packing house, grapefruits are packed in bags and the bags are packed in cases. How many grapefruits are in each case?
Statement I: The grapefruits are always packed 5 to a bag and the bags are always packed 8 to a case.
Statement II: Each case is always 80% full.

• A. If Statement I alone is sufficient but statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
• B. If Statement II alone is sufficient but statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If both Statement I and II together are sufficient to answer the question but neither statement alone is sufficient.
• D. If Statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Hint:

Always check if a statement provides enough numerical data before concluding sufficiency.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

1. Analyzing Statement I:
- Each bag contains 5 grapefruits.
- Each case contains 8 bags.
- Total grapefruits per case = \(5 \times 8 = 40\).
- Sufficient to answer the question.
2. Analyzing Statement II:
- The information about 80% full does not provide any exact number of grapefruits.
- Not sufficient.
Thus, Statement I alone is sufficient.
