Representation in a local community board is based on the community's population, with 25 board members representing the first 500,000 people, and each additional board member representing an additional 30,000 people. Is the population of the town less than 500,000?

(1) There were 23 members on the community board.
(2) If the population were three times as large, the community board would have had 51 members.



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

I'd go with D!

1) Suff.
2) 51-25 = 26
For 1 additional person, 30,000 additional folks are needed. Therefore, for 26 additional people, 26(30000) i.e. 780000 additional folks will be needed. 780000 + 500000 = 1280000 is thrice the population. From this the original population can be calculated.

What is the OA? Thanks!
