Adult's Ticket = $30, Child's Ticket = $24.
Number of Adult's tickets = x, Number of Child's tickets = y.
We need to find (30x + 24y)/(x+y).
Stmt1: y = 2x
(30x + 24y)/(x+y) = (30x + 24*2x)/(x+2x)
= 78x/3x
=26. Sufficient.
Stmt2: y = 4.
No information about x (number of adult's tickets) or total tickets. Insufficient.
Hence A.
