A number of oranges are to be distributed evenly among a number of baskets. Each basket will contain at least one orange. If there are 20 oranges to be distributed, what is the number of oranges per basket?

(1) If the number of baskets were halved and all other conditions remained the same, there would be twice as many oranges in every remaining basket.

(2) If the number of baskets were doubled, it would no longer be possible to place at least one orange in every basket.

B IMO.

(2) says the number of baskets is > 10.
We can't distribute the 20 oranges evenly for any number from 11-19. Only 20 baskets containing 1 orange each would be possible.

(1) has multiple possibilities.

B

20 and 10 satisfies the condition for A.

B only has 1 choice since oranges have to be distributed evenly.
NO EXCUSES

First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
