Please give explanations.

Seniors: A, B, C, D, and E
Junioir: a, b, c, d, and e

Statement 1

A>2 (A+B+C+D+E)/5

A> 2/5 (A+B+C+D+E)

insuf, since a is greater only 40% of the whole it can or can not be the biggest number

A 41 B 39 C15 D4 E1

A41 B49 C5 D4 E1


Statement 2



A = 5 x (EVERYBODY)/10

A = 1/2 EVERYBODY

so Andrew has the half of the money and the rest is divided among the other members. And also note that question stem gives you that "All partners in the firm receive some bonus" this tells us there is no other 50% in the rest of the group.
