What is the ratio of p to r ?
(1) 2p/r = 30
(2) p/3r = 5
Can someone please explain? Thanks.

the key takeaway in this problem is the fat that ratios are the same as fractions. therefore, the question is the equivalent of just asking
what is p/r?
statement 1:
multiply both sides by 1/2, to cancel the 2 out of the numerator on the left. this will give p/r = 15.
sufficient.
better yet, you can just realize that you can multiply out by 1/2, and not actually perform that multiplication.
statement 2:
multiply both sides by 3 (= 3/1), to cancel the 3 out of the denominator on the left. this will give p/r = 15.
sufficient.

ans = d
