\(B =\) Basic, \(D =\) Deluxe
Consider, Total Rooms \(= 100 = B + D\)
Rented Out \(= 75\)
Statement 1
\(60\%\) rooms are basic
\(\Rightarrow \; 40\) rooms rented out, and \(20\) not rented out. Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)
Statement 2
\(12.5\%\) of deluxe rooms not rented out.
\(\Rightarrow \; \dfrac{1}{8}\) not rented out, and \(\dfrac{7}{8}\) rented out
\(\dfrac{2}{3}B + \dfrac{7}{8} D = 75\)
From the Question, \(B + D = 100\)
We can solve for \(B\). Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)
Therefore, D
