If you purchase product X, how many days after the purchase the standard warranty expires?
Statement 1:
When Mark purchased Product X in January 1997, the warranty did not expire
until March 1997.
Case 1: (Max number of days)
Purchase date : 1 Jan 97
Warranty expiry : 31 March 97
Total days = 31 + 28 + 31 = 90 days (1997 is not a leap year)
Case 2: (Min number of days)
Purchase date : 31 Jan 97
Warranty expiry : 1 March 97
Total days = 30 days
Not sufficient
Statement 2:
When Santos purchased Product X in May 1997, the warranty expired in May 1997.
Case 1:
Purchase date : 1 May 97
Warranty expiry : 31 May 97
Total days = 31 days
Case 2:
Purchase date : 1 May 97
Warranty expiry : 15 May 97
Total days = 15 days
Not sufficient.
Combine
Statement 1 tells that warranty was a minimum of 30 days (31st Jan - 1st Mar : 1 + 28 + 1)
Statement 2 tells us that warranty started and expired in May and May has maximum of 31 days.
One statement gives us 30 days, another one gives us 31 days. In my opinion answer should be E.
