PRINCESTONE-VOTERS

by pradeepkaushal9518 » Sun Jul 04, 2010 4:35 am
Did the majority of voters polled claim that they planned to vote for candidate Q ?

(1) Of the people polled, those claiming that they planned to vote for candidate Q
outnumbered those who did not by 4 to 1.
(2) In the election, candidate Q received 20,000 votes and candidate P received
15,000 votes.



Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.



Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.



BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.



EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.



Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT SUFFICIENT
