Each of the items below consists of a question and two statements. You...
From II, we can conclude that (1500 *3) = 500 boxes were sold on Sunday.
Thus, from I, we find that number of boxes sold on Monday = 500 + 10% of 500 = 550.
Each of the items below consists of a question and two statements. You...
Given Data:
Statements:
I. It was 10% more than the boxes sold on the earlier day i.e. Sunday.
II. Every third visitor to the shop purchased the box and 1500 visitors were there on Sunday
Approach to Solution:
Statement I:
- Statement I provides information that the number of gift boxes sold on Monday was 10% more than the boxes sold on Sunday.
- However, without knowing the exact number of boxes sold on Sunday, we cannot determine the number of boxes sold on Monday. Therefore, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement II:
- Statement II provides information that every third visitor to the shop purchased a gift box and there were 1500 visitors on Sunday.
- Since every third visitor purchased a box, the number of boxes sold on Sunday can be calculated as 1500 divided by 3, which equals 500 boxes.
- However, this information alone does not provide the number of boxes sold on Monday. Therefore, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Combining Statements I and II:
- Combining both statements, we know that 500 boxes were sold on Sunday and the number of boxes sold on Monday was 10% more than Sunday's sales.
- This means the number of boxes sold on Monday would be 500 + 10% of 500 = 500 + 50 = 550 boxes.
- Therefore, by combining both statements, we can determine that 550 gift boxes were sold on Monday.
- Hence, the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
