Problem Solving Questions

Example

Bob buys 40% of the total number of ice creams in the store and 25% of the number of chocolate bars. In total, Bob bought 12 items, and there were 20 ice creams when Bob entered the shop. How many chocolate bars were there?

A.10

B.17

C.28

D.52

E.71

Data Sufficiency Questions

A.Statement 1 alone is enough to answer the question, and Statement 2 alone is not enough to answer the question.

B.Statement 2 alone is enough to answer the question, and Statement 1 alone is not enough to answer the question.

C.Both statements together are required to answer the question, and neither statement alone gives enough information to answer the question.

D.Each statement alone is enough to answer the question.

E.Both statements together do not give enough information to answer the question.
