Fishing Trip

[harsh.champ]

If on a fishing trip Jim and Tom each caught some fish, which one caught more fish?

(1) Jim caught 2/3 as many fish as Tom.
(2) After Tom stopped fishing, Jim continued fishing until he had caught 12 fish.

1) is sufficient to conclude that Tom caught more fish; if indeed they caught any fish. Many fishing expeditions are such that people end up catching no fish at all - Insufficient
2) Insufficient

Combined sufficient to conclude that Tim got more fish

(2) After Tom stopped fishing, Jim continued fishing until he had caught 12 fish.

(1) indicates that Jim caught fewer fish than Tom. Therefore, statement (1) alone is sufficient to answer the question. Statement (2) gives no information about the number of fish Tom caught. Therefore, statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

St.1: Jim fish = 2/3 Tom fish. so Tom caught more fish ---sufficient
St.2: It doesn't ans how many fishes Tom has already caught ... so we can't say which has caught more fish
Ans A

+ 1 -- A

what's the OA?

Ajith, Persoall I know u r too good at Quants....

But here u missed out..Stem says each caught "some"..

Some always greater than 0% and less than 100%.
