Question => how many bicycles are both blue and large?
Given that large bicycles = 140
blue bicycles = 175
small bicycles = 300 - 140 = 160
red bicycles = 300 - 175 =125
Let small blue bicycles = x
small red bicycles = 160 - x
large blue bicycles = 175 - x
large red bicycles = 140 - ( 175 - x ) = x - 35
Statement 1 => there are 90 small red bicycles
90 = 160 - x
x = 70
for blue and large or large blue bicycles = 175 - x
where x = 70
175 - 70 = 105 ; statement 1 is SUFFICIENT
Statement 2 => there as twice as many blue bicycles as there are large red bicycles
x = 2 ( x - 35 ) = 2x - 70
x = 70
for large blue bicycles = 175 - x where x = 70
175 - 70 = 105 ; statement 2 is SUFFICIENT
Each statement alone is SUFFICIENT
Answer = option D
