So, the number = 0.30 * 500 = 150; SUFFICIENT.
(2) 300 is of a some number seems to be missing!

I dont think so. I think you don't need to solve a data sufficiency question. You just need to check whether the given information is suitable to solve the data. Is it not.

The second statement above is clearly incomplete. The issue with the question is not that the statements are contradictory; the problem is that the sentence "300 is of a" is completely meaningless. It does not mean that 300 is equal to a, as you seem to have interpreted it. I don't know whether the error exists in the original source material, but there are clearly words missing; I imagine it is supposed to read "300 is 60% of a" or something similar.sivaelectric wrote:What number is 30% of a?
