Q9:How many years did Dr. Jones live?
(1) If Dr. Jones had become a doctor 10 years earlier than he did, he would have been a
doctor for exactly 2/3 of his life.
(2) If Dr. Jones had become a doctor 10 years later than he did, he would have been a doctor
for exactly 1/3 of his life.


OA: C

How????

D= no of years jones was a doc
T= total number of years he lived

1> D+10 = (2/3)T
INSUFFICIENT

2> D-10 = (1/3)T
INSUFFICIENT

1 & 2> Solving the simultaenuous equations we can get T

;) ..even i had arrived at that equation..but when you go ahead and solve it...you get 2D = T.

i think the answer is wrong>>>>

Subtract Eq 2 from eq 1,u'll get T = 60

I wouldn't have even wasted my time trying to solve for T. You have (2) equations and (2) unknowns.

yes, no need to plug in and solve on data sufficiency questions.

If there are 2 linear eqs and 2 unknowns (that are not identical multiples of each other) then you have a unique solution.
