What was the percent increase of Company A's stock between June 1 and June 30, 2000?

1. The stock gained $5 in value during June 2000.
2. The stock rose 12% during the first half of the month.


1. Statement 1 alone is sufficient but statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
2. Statement 2 alone is sufficient but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
3. Both statements 1 and 2 together are sufficient to answer the question but neither statement is sufficient alone.
4. Each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.
5. Statements 1 and 2 are not sufficient to answer the question asked and additional data is needed to answer the
statements.

answer E

st 1: gives just the gain not the total value so percentage cannot be calculated (insufficient)
st 2: gives just the % rise of half the month but what that value is in $ we don't know (insufficient)

together: still not enough data (insufficient)
