2 raffle tickets

by sanju09 » Sat Apr 11, 2009 4:10 am
Did one of three members of a certain team sell at least 2 raffle tickets yesterday?

(1) The three members sold a total of 6 raffle tickets yesterday.

(2) No two of the three members sold same number of raffle tickets yesterday.

Ans :

Stmt 1

A total of 6 tickets divided equally ( 2,2,2). So defintely one sold atleast 2 raffel ticket. ( 3,2,1 ) ( 4,1,1)

Sufficient

Stmt 2 :

No two sold the same number of tickets ( 3,2,1)
Sufficient

Nice one Sanju.
Got the OA.

Stmt 1
total of 6 was sold.
So either all sold 2 tickets or atleast 1 sold atleast 2 tickets.
Sufficient.

Stmt 2.
Since no two of them sold the same # of tickets.
worst case scenario:
1st guy sold 0 tickets
2nd guy sold 1 ticket
3rd guy sold 2 tickets.

hence sufficient.
