Target question: What is the ratio of alcohol to pigment in Luxo paint?

Given: Luxo paint contains ONLY alcohol and pigment.

Statement 1: Exactly 7 ounces of pigment are contained in a 12-ounce can of Luxo paint.
If 7 of the 12 ounces of paint are PIGMENT, then the remaining 5 ounces must be ALCOHOL
So, the ratio of alcohol to pigment = 5/7
Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 1 is SUFFICIENT

Statement 2: Exactly 5 ounces of alcohol are contained in a 12-ounce can of Luxo paint.[/quote]
If 5 of the 12 ounces of paint are ALCOHOL , then the remaining 7 ounces must be PIGMENT
So, the ratio of alcohol to pigment = 5/7
Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 2 is SUFFICIENT

Answer: D
