Am I missing something? b'cos I find this one ambiguous.
What is the volume of the rectangular solid?
1: Two adjacent faces of the solid have areas 15 and 24, respectively
2: Each of the two opposite faces of the solid has area 40.
statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT.
but there are 2 ways to interpret statement 2:
one:-
Each of the two opposite faces ==read as== each pair of opposite faces
In that case it is a cube with side 2root10
So, B is SUFFICIENT and so answer is B
two:-
Each of the two opposite faces ==read as== one pair of opposite faces
In that case their explanation works and so answer is C which is OG's answer
My question is what is the English meaning of "Each of the two opposite faces"? Is it "Each of, two opposite sides" or is it" Each of two, opposite sides"
