let x be total no of students studying Japanese
let y -> French
Stmt II is telling us
that .04y = .10x
x/y = 5/2
2x = 5y
This means y<x i.e no of students studying french is lesser than numbe of students studying Japanese

KILL !! DIE !! or BEAT my FEAR !!! de@D END!!
The question is saying Japanese >= 100. Imo I dont see this info being used anywhere since the question is not asking us to find numbers but just find out if Japanese more than French which u can from the ratios.
OVER sighted thought of mine !!

Agree that stmt 2 is suff
but from stmt 1 : .04x = 16 (x = total french students)
x =400
Japnese=100

Don't we need at least 100 students to check statement 1cramya wrote:The question is saying Japanese >= 100. Imo I dont see this info being used anywhere since the question is not asking us to find numbers but just find out if Japanese more than French which u can from the ratios.
Statement 1:
16 study both French and Japanese
if # of French = y
then 4%of y = 16 study both
==>y = 400
since number of Japanese >100
So statement 1 is insufficient ?
Did I missed any thing ?

Question says AT LEAST 100 students study Japanese, this number could be 401, because stmt 1 doesn't utilize the number of students studying Japanese at all, we can't compare.
Am I correct or am I missing something?
