Data Sufficiency

by Tauqeer » Thu Oct 29, 2009 6:49 am
On a certain tour, the ratio of the number of women to the number of men was 5 to 2. What was the number of men on the tour?

Statement 1: On the tour, the ratio of the number of children to the number of men was 5 to 11.
Statement 2: The number of women on the tour was less than 30.


a) Statement 1 is sufficient, but statement 2 alone is not sufficient.
b) Statement 2 is sufficient, but statement 1 alone is not sufficient.
c) BOTH statement TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER alone are sufficient.
d) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
e) Statements 1. and 2. TOGETHER are not sufficient

This question sounds wrong. Are you sure the wording is correct? I remember a similar problem from GMATPrep, but trying to solve this now, it seems like certain ratios or words are misplaced, cannot get a common denominator.

Perhaps this is the question: https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/on- ... t4679.html
