from veritas prep.
In a freshman high school class there are 125 total students. If 75 of the total students are enrolled in Geometry, how many of those students are enrolled in Biology?
1 50 of the total students are enrolled in Geometry but not Biology.
2 The number of those students who are enrolled in Geometry and Biology is the same as the number of those students enrolled in neither Geometry nor Biology.
in the question stem 'those' refers to 75 geometry students?
in which case 1 is sufficient
if refers to overall then 2 is suff.
veritas answer is b so obviously they meant overall students not just those in geo.
