100 attendees.
A) Maybe attendees are all from different schools. or maybe same Insufficient
B) on average, 10 attendees per school. there age can be 21,22...30 or 21,21,...21
Insufficient
A&B) range=22 to 30: 22,23...30 (total 9 ages..)
also 10 business schools. therefore atleast one school will have more than 9 attendees. otherwise total will be only 90 max. Let that school be A.
Now A has 10 students and we have only 9 different ages. Thus atleast 2 students will have same age. Sufficient
IMO C
