50) Of 75 houses, 48 have a patio. How many houses have a swimming pool?
a. 38 houses have a patio but no swimming pool
b. Number of houses that have a patio and a swimming pool is equal to the number of houses that have neither pool nor patio
OA - C
I want to understand if we need to consider a new possibility offered by second statement while solving the first statement. In the above problem, ignoring stmt 2, we have all the information we want except 'Neither' details. Do we need to assume that 'Neither' is nil (which in some cases we assume so)? or looking at stmt 2, do we need to rule out that stmt 1 is insufficient?
Thoughts pls?
